Mar. 12th, 2011 02:35 pmDear TV writers:
Given a character in a wheelchair, "omg their shoes show SIGNS OF USE" does not necessarily mean that they are big faking fakers that are using a wheelchair to appear harmless but can get up and sprint away once they are discovered.
For one thing, if it was an accident or a degenerative condition that put them there, the shoes might have been from before, when they were more two-leggedly-mobile.
For another, some people in wheelchairs can actually stand to some degree, eg for transfers.
For a third, it PISSES ME OFF.
So stop it, k?
