Gimpy in Utah and HEAVY doors

Since I hurt my leg I have become aware of more rude people in this Bea U tiful state of ours. Here's the scenario; Me struggling with outer door at Olive Garden (What?... It was really heavy!). Guy approximately my age, turns looks at leg and crutches, shrugs, walks into restaurant and lets go of inner door which I have almost reached. Then as I am leaving the restaurant there was a man who was in his mid to late 50's standing right next to the door and he just looked at me. Heather, thank heaven, helped with the stupid HEAVY door again. Can I just say ARGH! I never realized how inconsiderate people can be. After having a discussion with Kristy and my fab friend Heather, I guess we reached a consensus that people just don't give a crap anymore. It has made me more determined than ever to offer a helping hand to people who are in wheelchairs or using crutches, strollers, or carrying heavy loads/children. And to teach my kids to do the same.
