My post about the cops getting called on me brought about a few questions, so here’s the full story. I put in a delivery order for beer, and added some white claw for our adult daughter and a bottle Maker’s (just to make the delivery fee worth it). The driver drove by me THREE times as I was trying to wave him down (drivers have trouble finding our apartment). He looked at me all three times, but didn’t stop, probably because it didn’t occur to him that the guy in a wheelchair was capable of ordering alcohol (it happens often).
When I finally got him to stop, he rolled down his window and asked, “can I help you?” I said yeah, you can give me my order. He looked at his phone, pressed the “cancel” button, and said, “no, I canceled the order because I couldn’t find your apartment and you didn’t answer your phone.”
No one called me. I told him he didn’t call me, that he just sped through the parking lot for a few minutes, ignoring me as I tried to wave him down, etc cetera. I’m sure I was a jerk, because I was pi**ed. He said, “your disability obviously affects your brain, because you’re a f-Ing idiot.”
Yeah, I decided right then and there that he was going to have a very terrible evening. It’s illegal to detain someone against their will. It’s not illegal to suggest that they might run over your foot if they drive away. He wasn’t in a parking space, he was in the middle of the parking lot and could have left any time. I guess he must have a disability that affects his brain, because he didn’t seem to understand that.
He called the cops, said I was illegally detaining him, said I rammed his car with my scooter, so on and so forth. The cop got there, saw the situation for what it was pretty quickly, and told him to leave.
My favorite part was when he went to show the cop the damage I did to his car and it clearly hadn’t been touched.
People can do almost anything to me, and I’ll be chill. If you steal from me, mess with my family, or discriminate against/mock me based on my disability status, I change. All bets are off.
