I am now on the sh!+ list of every disabled person in the tri-state area. It wasn’t my fault, though. Really. Frank & I went away for a couple of days because who can turn down an offer for a free room for 2 nights and tickets to a show? Every few months, the Tropicana tries to get us to do more than gamble $20 a pop so they keep trying to lure us there in hopes we will spend thousands of dollars gambling. What they don’t know is that won’t ever happen but don’t tell them that.
Anyhow, getting back to the bad karma story, it’s like this. Last night we went to see this Australian motown group called Human Nature. After the show, we headed for the elevators to go up to our room. We’re in this elevator bank that has glass on one side, which, in spite of being afraid of heights, I find really cool (which has absolutely nothing to do with the story).
As we’re standing in the elevator with another couple, we hear someone call out to hold the elevator. A disabled woman on one of those scooters is heading our way. I’m closest to the buttons so I quickly hit the button to hold the doors opened. Only I hit the button to close the doors by mistake. Realizing my error, I repeatedly hit the correct button except it’s too late.
I am sure the woman was cursing me out, swearing that if she spotted me on the casino floor, she would run me down. You know those cameras all over the place where the casino security people watch you? They saw what transpired, as well, and put the word out to their people, “That’s the bitch who closed the elevator on the poor, handicapped woman. If you see her coming, make sure she loses.” Yep, word spread quickly. I’m pretty certain I’m on one of those wanted posters, too.
completely unrelated to your cold-hearted story, you suck.
And don’t feel a need to do the Meme, it was a little bit lame, but I always feel bad when I miss a tag, especially from a “newer” friend, so I did it anyway.

Geez, just because I’m a trouble maker & a smart ass??
Wow. Katie said you suck. Just because you’re a troublemaker, smartass AND a wisenhimer? I wouldn’t say you SUCK. But now comes this story about poor scooter woman. Maybe you do SUCK. But ya know what? I LOVE people who SUCK. All of this said from my snoring-close-to-sleep-apnea self!
I hit the wrong button every single time I am in an elevator and people are coming. I do not discriminate handicapped, pregnant, child my brain and finger always ALWAYS hits the wrong button. I’m sorry yours was captured on film.
It isn’t the fact that you left some poor woman out there to wait an extra 2 minutes on an elevator, its the fact you got caught on tape. Have I taught you nothing…..
I’m really trying to not get sick, if I just didn’t have this headache and tickle in my throat. My hands and feet are also itching like crazy and I have no idea what thats all about.
Bad Karma is what you get when you post something about 15 minutes of fame and then NEVER TELL THE STORY! The hoodoo will getchoo every time.

Lynt – You & Dave are going to be very disappointed because you guys heard the story before, although probably an abbreviated version.
