I'm only mentioning his wheelchair because I guess it's relevant to how people responded to him.
We were in a small cafe in a park late yesterday pm waiting for some child friendly 'fireworks' - it was a laser show thing.
Me my DM and DD got there really early and got a hot drink. A man came in, in a wheelchair that he was maneuvering himself by using his foot.
From a brief chat we had with him it seemed like he could have had something like cereal palsy but obviously I don't know.
When a BBQ gazebo area was set up outside, he left his takeaway drink on the table and went outside. The cafe started to get really busy and a group of people, several mums with about 6 children took the table next to 'his'.
Anyway he comes back in and shouts to the women to move his table back and away from the children as he was saying his drink would get spilled.
The mums were shocked at the outburst but moved the table away for him anyway.
I wouldn't have bothered posting but he did it about another 3 times to other people who dared to sit at his table. Even though he was outside, so it was a 'free' table. He wasn't even particularly nice about it but I noticed people were really quick to move even if their children had just sat down. Should they have? I felt annoyed on their behalf and felt he was being quite rude.
