Once i told a taxi driver his comment was not helpful to me and he apologized. I do not know how i did it. Another time i did not say anything. I remained hurt and mad. In general comments are made to me about my physical disability. There have been people asking if i can have children, or even sex! It is just unbelievable. When i was in the us, all the stupid or rude comments came from non-american drivers. I am not an American, either. In some 3rd world countries like mine there is a lot of stigma and prejudices against disabled people or people with mental health concerns. They treat you as a second class citizen and believe they can tell you whatever they want. Also, they can be dismissive towards women, gay people or older people, as well
