Why would you avoid? I don't rush but if I see they make eye contact with me and I them, then I take it from there. If they smile and wave a bit, well I will then introduce myself. I am pretty outgoing though. I live in a small town and there aren't a lot of us, so I want to know them so we can stick together!!:)

All depends on the a few things;time,where we're at,what we're doing, how I'm feeling, the way they appear as far as making any sort of eye contact and their overall interest towards any company/conversation,interest in anything in common like wearing a band shirt, but I almost always say hello.

Wouldn't it be an interesting episode of Twilight Zone if the norm were wheelchairs & being AB was the minority; restaurants with tables but no chairs, low counters at all bank tellers but of course they'd have to bend over, buses & trolleys with no seats just clamps, & all the health clubs would have the equipment that you wheel up to? :dev:

This is SO funny and we should so make a mock episode of this!! Too funny!:)
Love this idea, all the little things that making our life primary were the norm, no holds barred, excellent idea!
Impossible only describes a problem that needs viewed from a different perspective
