This question is really more for the PWD's. Am I the only one who makes up a completely bullshit story about why they're in a wheelchair. I don't do this all the time don't get me wrong, I just do it when people ask me right off the bat. To be honest it's kind of funny how much of a made-up story you can get away with. I feel like that's usually what people want to hear anyway when they ask. I can usually tell when someone really wants to know. The reason I make up a complete lie of a story is because they usually ask me when I'm on the elevator or something and it's a toss-up do I really want to get into this, and in my case it's kind of a long story.

All the time. In fact, it's #6 on my list of perks to dating a guy in a wheelchair.

@mrniceguy where do you rank the handicap parking. #1 Here's the list I wrote a while back: 1. Rock star parking! Seriously, this is a big one. 2. I give wheelchair rides. I'm quite comfy and walking is overrated. 3. People let me cut in lines. I'm not sure why they do but it beats sitting outside in the cold. 4. Playing the "Cripple Card" is the best excuse for getting out of shit you don't want to do. Who's going to argue that I don't feel well? This superpower also applies to my +1. 5. People give me free shit. Again, I don't quite get their reasoning but you'll be covered under this policy as well. Free shit is good. 6. I'm the best comedy fodder ever. Ever been out with a drunk, crippled guy that makes up stories about how he got hurt? No? I highly recommend it. 7. I'm like having a built-in lawn chair. Everywhere we go, you'll have a place to sit. Think about it. 8. I use a power chair. Do you have any idea how much this thing can carry? Think shopping bags, picnic supplies, survival gear? 9. I'm really difficult to kidnap. Think this is just a perk for me? Think again, I can say with 99.99% certainty that you will NEVER have to pay a ransom. Bail, on the other hand... 10. In the event of a zombie apocalypse or bear attack, I'm easy to outrun. (I can't promise that I won't later eat your brains, but that's the risk you take when dating a pre-zombie.)

@mrniceguy one of my favourite disability perks is the built-in ice breaker, people are generally easier to talk to. I notice the difference compared to back when I could walk.

I know you asked the PWD‘s, but I‘m still curious. What is your made up story? And why don’t you just tell them the truth? Or tell them that it’s a long story and that it’s none of their business anyways?

I'd also want to hear what funny, bullshit stories any of the DEV/PWD couples have made up about how they met.

I would never admit that we met on an online site for handicapped people, except for really close friends. Actually I just realize that I really need to come up with a good story sometime soon before people start to realize he‘s a pwd... 😂

Dig deep.

My origin story is sooo much more fun than any fiction I could possibly conjure up.

There's still a few people in my neighborhood that I run in to on occasion that are like, "You're that guy that was mauled by a bear!" I'm very convincing.

Shot in the back by a jealous husband while banging his wife is number 1.
Number 2 is getting shot while spear fishing whilst getting attacked by a shark. That almost elicits gasps.
My favourite was when I ran the nightclub one of the bouncers and I would go to see a new movie every Thursday. He went to grab tickets and said 'one for me and one for the veg' The young girl said 'I didn't know he was a Vet, Vet's get in free' my mate goes 'yeah, look at him, he got all shot up in the war'
For the next three years that girl would always put me down as a gold class member, so free ticket, free drink, free popcorn and free choc top icecream.

The one I usually tell girls is that I got hit by debris saving children from a fire.
