To be clear: this is not a jab at weight, what I’m baffled by is why tf would anyone in a wheelchair use a walking stick like that?

To be clear: I know why the dude has the cane, what im asking about/pointing out is the absurdity of the way he uses the cane in this specific clip, not speculation on the way he uses it in his general life. Just for those in the comments who mistakenly think I’m asking why the dude had the stick in the first place, when I’m asking about the way in which he uses it in this clip. Thank you.

    Others have answered better and it’s a joke , but as a general reminder (to put it in plain language and succinctly):

    Not all disabled are always the same amount of disabled at all times.

    (It gets old having to explain why a person is in a wheelchair one day, is walking with a cain one day, is bed ridden some other day. Life is complicated. Probably a good rule of thumb is to just let it go, unless you know them well enough to actually have a real conversation about it, and not just make passing comments that make them feel bad.)

      First of all, it’s *cane not cain (pretty sure cain is a name)

      Second of all, and I feel like im repeating myself here: I’m not asking why he has both, I’m asking why he’s using both simultaneously. I get that people who have wheelchairs can also use canes too under certain circumstances, I just find it funny the way he uses the cane in this scenario as if he is walking when he isn’t.

      Nothing to do with any other time in his life. I don’t even know the bloke, how could I critique those other aspects of his life/other uses of his equipment?
