You know what the one thing a wheelchair-bound person never needs?

A fucking chair.

[–] jumjummy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, you see, it’s not a full chair, just the backrest. Just in case their wheelchair backrest needs to rest.

Oh, and here i was thinking they found a way to cut costs on wheelchairs by removing the backs -- necessitating these backless-wheelchair-accessible-wheelchair-backs for those that need to give their backs a break.

A wheelchair's backrest does not have zero depth, so with this design the rollchair user has to sit slightly in front of the people on the left and right. Utter shit.

What would the symbol for "no homeless" look like? A house crossed out twice?

I actually have title blindness. It's a super rare condition

Yeah, it's possible/probable that it was a dick move by some planning committee. But if I were wheelchair bound, I could imagine that being a) acknowledged and b) in the middle


instead of always off to the side


could be nice.
