Okay... not all of them, but sometimes.. I just can't help myself.

One time, I seen a guy with one leg come out of his house. I didn't think anything of it, until his three-legged dog hobbled out after him.

I lol'd

I'm never rude to them or anything, because I know it has to be a harsh and traumatic thing to go through.

But just sometimes...
Do you think it's normal?

WTF?? learn some respect
I hate to admit, but I laughed at the dog and man one too :/

still try not too, or at least not right at them.
that situation is only funny because it's ironic.... not becuase becuase he's disabled.
How do you post a story now? I used to post tons of stories before INN disappeared but now it's back, the 2 stories I wrote are not on the list. Are they vetted more now or something?
@: Lockets
yes all stories have to approved by the mod squad
Its not nice to laugh at disabled people but that would have been fukn funny to see
making fun of retards is fun

like in borat when he says "you will never get this, you will never get this

and then he escapes, and get THAT"

lol

Just post them on the forum at http://forum.isitnormal.com/. Whatever you can't post here, you can post there. The only drawback is that your username will appear when posting on the forum. So maybe you could create one username on the forum to post stories or topics, and create another username or usernames on the forum for other stuff such as making comments in your own or another person's story or topic. This way you'll still remain anonymous because nobody will know that you are the poster of your own stories or topics unless you tell them.
Ehh I see a lot of people on this thread think it is rude etc...It is rude in a way, but not really. I would probably laugh too. I am the same way. It does not make me an evil guy. I just think it looks funny. Now if I were to go up to the one-legged guy and laugh in his face and call him names like "peg leg"..now that's rude and uncalled for.

So as long as you're not taking it further like telling the guy he's a cripple and laughing directly at him, there is really no problem in chuckling a bit.
uhhh i don't think that's normal when I see someone who is missing a limb or crippled I feel genuinely sorry for them not amused.
Ok, that's great, thanks for the info!
Cheers.
hey i would have laughed at the irony of the situation... but not a disabled person on their own. we all laugh at stuff we shouldn't sometimes
Thats f*cking mean. LOL

One day it may be u that looks like that.

Yo, wats up Barnum. Been a while huh ?

Peace Out

The Weasel
hell yeah its normal, of coarse as mentioned because of the irony that is. i laughed and i dont feel bad. i have been paralized for seven years using a wheelchair and i find myself laughing at all sorts of things of such matter
and further more to be plitically correct, its not crippled. the term to be used is disabled.
@: cpg123
i agree
Were you laughing out loud?

Did you point?

If so, you may have gone to far, unless you were pointing at the dog I guess.
This happened to me years ago but i was also taking other medication at the time so i think it had something to do with it as well.
This. Post got approved?

Goddess, I must be a shoe in for apprval if folk can let bygons be...

@ Poster. Before you laugh at cripples, keep in mind that you may someday find yourself on the receiving end.

Word to the wise.

I was gonna say screw you, but after reading your whole post I lol'd also! As long as you ent taking them for granted, I reckon it is acceptable. You should make an effort to recompense yourself though, as it is pure evil :-P Spend some time helping at a mental home or sommat, or you will rot in hell.
Fuck that. I take the piss out of almost everything. God, Allah, Jews, religion, vegetarians, ethnic minorities, stupid people, fat people, the Dutch, Eskimos, and pretty much everything else... EXCEPT:

Women: The most amazing creatures on god's green earth. There are obvious exceptions to the rule - but generally I lay off them.

Cripple people: That shit will come back and bite you in the ass if you're not careful. I have a morbid fear of ending up in a wheelchair or without an arm or leg or some other horrible disfigurement. Crippled people are therefore off limits. I will not laugh at them or mock them. End of.
That story did make me laugh too, so dw, tho im not exactly normal
Wheelchairs are not so bad once you get used to them.

My bf tells me I look sexy. I pose for him occationally.

I hope it's not normal to laugh at cripples. You need to change your sense of humor.
Just don't laugh in their faces and i think it will be okay.
Laughing is fine. A one legged person has many advantages, like getting shoes for half price.
lets fuck and get married, seriously. i making fun others at their own expense. do me in the asshole, please
I CAN'T HELP IT EITHER
It's their fault for being crippled, my parents say.
Don't worry you are as normal as shit....
I hope karma eats you alive.
That would make me laugh too.
I seen an old man on his mobility scooter totally topple over onto its side once it was the funniest thing I ever saw.
Everyone's like " NO DINT PICK ON THE DISABLED "

Well , they're allway's asking the "ABLED"
to treat them the same..

So i say why the fuck not , my grandad lost a leg in a motorcycle accident , and he say's if you can't take people rippin the piss out of you , you might aswell go and curl into a ball and die..

We all get the piss taken out of us in one way or another , weather its you're acne or you're lack of leg's.. , there shouldn't be limit's just because of some one's incapability's..

I treat all people the same..

Weather there

Inbetween any of the above
disabled..
Abled..

Or just plain Retarded.. :)
Y'know when I made my first posts here I was offended.

Yeah, me. LOL.

But after reading the above post by Ploxcube, I think *I* was in error. Yes, go ahead and laugh at me and my chair - I am an equal and should be able to take it.

Of course, that being said, I hope that the rest of you aren't offened if I laugh at you, your looks, your choices of clothes or your (oftentimes questionable) parentage.

"It's their fault for being crippled, my parents say."

Wow. Just wow. I'd love to have been brought up by those people.
Hey, whatever makes you laugh, go for it. Do it around someone who doesn't appreciate the humour and you'll have to answer for it of course. I think laughter is inherently good as long as it doesn't get you into trouble.
If you can't laugh at yourself then the world will suck. If you became a cripple I bet you would handle it really well.
People in wheel-chairs aren't funny.
At least I don't think so.

I dunno, maybe it really was just the irony of the situation.

^^ alot of people responded to this..

craziness.
hahaha, they are jokes
hahaha, the one legged man and three legged dog thing is a funny couinsedence, just try not to laugh out loud, its rude ;)
WTF dude ur fucked up its not normal its fucking mean and rude.. Get some respect dude.. Luaghing at dogs thats normal but not at people ...
Imagine how would it be if they were someone you really love, or your family... you wouldn't laugh.
Same thing happened to me when I was 5 years old... because I was a kid!
ur sick!
i once saw a cripple with crome spinners on his chair,no joke
i wouldn't say ur a dickhead if ur laughing cuz it's ironic. i once laughed at a guy with no leg. but only because he had a peg leg and beard and looked just like a pirate.
TBH it's not competely abnormal.
Most people feel sorry for cripples I guess. But it has alot to do with what situation you're in.
Like if you're just walking down the street with a friend and suddenly there's someone walking past you looking like a pirate with his pegleg and god knows what. Would you say; "aww, poor guy."
Probably not. You'd laugh.

And the dog thing was kind of funny.
well, i lol'd at a one-legged surgeon the other day. a bit ironic, isn't it?
I think it's normal. Even though it may be bad, it's just the way they look that is funny to the human mind. I have to admit, I laugh at crippled people too, but I feel bad doing it.
it's pretty funny how his dog's crippled too but..
LOL a man and his dog. both missing a leg each? tbh i'd laugh to.
wanker
As long as you don't let them hear you, you don't do it too often and you feel guilty about it. Some people laugh at disabled people because they feel uncomfortable to see them. It's the same reason people laugh hysterically when they are in a dangerous situation.
Well thats pretty sad and your grammar sucks: ha, ha, ha...
I'm not laughing at the disability, but the dog as well...that's kinda cute x)
It's not that you find all people who are crippled hilarious (at least, I don't think you do) - it's more that you're laughing at that particular thing.
awwwww I do the same thing and I always feel bad about it after! same goes with making fun of people, I hate it
I'm guessing you don't have any disabilities...that's nice...
do you think that guy got his 3 legged dog after losing his leg or did he cut it off out of jealousy?
try to hold in your laugh =]
thats what i do.
and i pretend laughing at something else.
haha. i laughed at your post LMAO.
Every one of you that do laugh, are cold heartless stupid mindless people. WHat if you have a child that has a disability someday in your life? WOuld you appreciate people laughing at them? NO! I didn't fucking think so... so next time you fucking see someone that has a disability, fuckin' think about it you mindless fucks! It's not their fucking fault that they have something 'wrong' with them, maybe there's more to them than what you see... and more than 1/2 the time... there is more to them than wtf you see. THINK ABOUT IT NEXT TIME YOU STUPID FUCKS!!!!!!!
Don't you think a one legged person has enough problems without you laughing at him or her.

This person probably got the three legged down because he could understand and relate to the dogs situation, seeing how he as a person was also missing a leg.

One day you could loose a leg and you have to ask if you want to be laughed at or NOT!
@: sjaygee
Come closer kid, I feel like smacking someone with a handful of ballbearings!

Those of us who are disabled tend to get annoyed when people laugh. We might "accidentally" roll over your foot or something.

Tobra - IIN Princess
lol that post made me laugh
Sorry October, I am not following you but I was looking up cripples. As one kind of like you, let me slam this asshole for you.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. It is a nice way of saying my body is attacking my nervous system and I will have pain, paralysis, or other bad things like Vertigo. (Want to be scared, look that one up.)

--------------------------------

Well asshole, when I was working in a factory and I was really annoyed at all those fuckholes who were raising the companies insurance premiums for idiots having six children as I was only taking care of myself and my AUTISTIC son. I was trully pissed off spending $100 dollars a week to cover medical when I had nothing wrong with me.

THEN

I developed Multiple Sclerosis two weeks later. It wasn't MS yet, it was Transversive Milianitis (Mispelled, shutup.) and I could not work as I could not walk...AT ALL. I was this way for THREE MONTHS.

Afterwards, I went home to nothingness and had nothing to do, I missed work and LOVE TO WORK. I eventually after months of Physically Theropy I could start walking again and went back to work.

My black girlfriend who I loved left me because she couldn't stand with a guy who would become a cripple. I was truly alone. She didn't leave then, she left when I lost half of my face and couldn't talk right or chew food well. I thought it was really sad that I could not drink with a straw without holding my lips with my hands. In my profile, I went shooting with decent guns and I had to wear and eye patch as I physically could not move my eyelids to close them by themselves without the other.

A lot of other interesting shit happenes since then but the absolute WORST thing was Vertigo watered down version is here, I had all the symptoms and truly would have rather died than live like this and it lasted for THREE GOD DAMN MONTHS. I begged my family to let me die. HONESTLY, I BEGGED THEM and my girlfriend, fiance now, wouldn't let me go even knowing I was a man CRYING to let me go.

http://ms.about.com/od/signssymptoms/a/ms_vertigo.htm).

MS attacked my celebellum and it is still damaged. Even knowing I am better now, MS is a little fucked up illness like breaking a bone and it will never be 100% okay again. I am still in pain in my legs, expectually when I am tired and I am dizzy, very dizzy ever GOD DAMN TIME I lie down.

I do not fear dying as I know it will be a way out of being crippled later. Later, I know it will get so bad that I will lose the ability to walk, maybe my hands or even the ENJOYMENT (not desire or ability) to have sex.

Yes, with me, pain comes afterwards but it does tend to NUMB the area in which it attacks, hence me not feeling this or that for a while. And best of all, there is always a chance it MIGHT NOT COME BACK.

------------------------------------

Lastly, if your not a fucktard and actually read what I wrote, which I doubt. It all started because I made fun of those fucking useless imigrants at my job who had to come here and breed into a huge ass family they cannot afford.

I was pissed off and made fun of these assholes to get over my anger and I regret it. I have lost my faith in god (How can someone belive in him if they are suffering while asshole walk with everything for FREE what they cannot have and was denied in reseaving.)

I was wrong but that does not mean I have the right to sit by and accept assholes making fun of those who truly have it hard. Like October or even me. Different health problems but we both have suffered a great deal.

I'm not so pissed off at the writer of this (How the fuck did this one get approved yet some of mine don't?) as I am those who make fun of the Mentally handicap and so on.

My son is Autistic, I suffer inside seeing him struggling to understand things that come easy for me. I would gladly take his illness from him as I would rather suffer twice than watch him suffer once. How the hell is this funny.

Granted, I say the "retard" word often but not toward a disabled person but toward a person doing stupid shit. I say it to those who have no common sence and realise that they are truly lucky to be born in a civilized part of the world and still be functional as a person. A retard is nothing more to me than an inconsiderate fucktard who laughs at others misfortion instead of being happy they aren't them and respect the fact that they have opportunities that the disabled person may never get.

Sjaygee, SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU FUCKING RETARD.
Dear October:

Screw the ballbarings, could you please pray as I have no faith anymore that this a-hole gets a bad case of vertigo. It is far worse and then he will truly understand.

Thank you.
I've been in a wheelchair before and I do have one just to remind me of my future. Trust me, its not funny and it kind of sucks if you have no other choice.
"Tobra - Often Copied/Never Surpassed!"
