It happens more than I like to think about.
Those goddamn motherfuckers.

No, it is seriously funny.
I do try not to laugh.

The ones that do piss me off and I do want to call motherfuckers are the ones that see my cane and (which I would never do) ask if I can walk.
I tell them "very short distances, to the bathroom, stuff like that" (I don't tell them how much it hurts and that I cannot always do so). Then, inevitably, motherfucker will say "I would just walk all the time, I think you should".
I think they should shoot themselves.

Do people really say that shit? I can't imagine.

That and worse.
Often it is "can you really not walk?"
You would be amazed at how many morons tell me to "just as jesus to heal me and I'll be alright tomorrow."
With a straight face.
It happens constantly. Less often people will ask if they can pray for me... I used to fall for it and then they would put their hands on me and try to heal me right there in public. Yes, more than once.
Now I just say "no thank you" or "on your own time".

More often than not, this is without ever introducing themselves or asking if they are interrupting in any way... they just walk up and start talking.

Almost daily when I am in public I have this entire conversation.
Someone walks up:
"What is wrong with you?"
I give them a brief description.
"Oh".
Then they walk away.
Sometimes while I am eating or in the middle of a conversation.
If I am in a bad mood I have said "you are interrupting me/are rude", but the above is usually how it goes.
