[nfbwatlk] drive in custodialism - The Nature of Independence

[Kaye Kipp]

Will, if I think a car's waiting for me, I usually wave them on.

I don't like it when they try to put me in a wheelchair at airports either.
There have been times when I've had to get quite firm.  I don't think I was
rude, but my refusal to use the wheelchair left no doubt in their minds
about my wishes.

It's interesting, because I hate it when people honk.  I'd rather have the
human interaction.  If somebody honks, I have no idea why they're honking.
So, it's interesting what people prefer.  
If somebody says: "It's clear to go after I do" then I know exactly what
they're saying.  For me, if they honk, they could be saying, It's okay to
go.  It also could be two cars almost hitting each other and honking at each
other or one honking at the other; or you know, the honk when somebody's
saying hi to the other.  So I guess to each our own when it comes to what we
prefer helpwise.  (Smile).  And yes, when somebody comes with a wheelchair
at the airport, that ticks me off, too.  But a little bit in the defense of
the people coming to assist, sometimes they don't know who they're
assisting.  They just get a radio call for meet and assist.  So it could be
anybody from my mother-in-law, who needs a wheelchair to me.  So in lots of
cases they just bring the wheelchair.  It makes me angry when they try to
force me into it, but just because they have one with them is not 
really an issue.    Peace,    Debby
