Things Not To Say To Amputees 

*turns around bewildered* blimey where’s me leg gone!!

Fido give me my bloody leg fack

@@superiormeme4593 Fack lol

@@superiormeme4593 not trying to nitpick

Lol that's ok

*oh god it's run off again!*

Am I the only one reading this in the voice of that girl in Puss In Boots who always says “Do you know...” or “Did you know...”? Yeah? Okay..,

TIS MERELY A FLESH WOUND

Are you kidding tis but a flesh wound

Nah I'm definitely moving my toes right now

I've done this before! My friend handed me his arm and I just looked at him "that's not what I meant but sure"

Wholesomeness *1000*

HAHAHAHA

Your friend has a great sense of human!

You know he so waited for that moment and took it happily 😂😂

And now you have to cut off the second one so its symmetrical... That's quite sad

Probably more than just crying. I panic when my daughter scrapes her knee, and she's 10.

Its not the arm Its the fact that she stubbed her toe After i pushed her down the stairs

@@Author.Noelle.Alexandria Thats normal. Infections aint no joke

creamy_pc ok wtf?

Its cute in a way that they're trying to help her

sooo cuuute Alicorn wannabe

That’s super cute 😂❤️

Children are so precious

True acts of kindness. So adorable

lmao

I can relate to this do well

Omg it ran off. It was late a very important date

“Do you know you’re missing a leg?” Damn near spit out my water, that was golden

xxKing0scarxx lamo!

Olga haha that’s great

LMAO 😂 WHAT

Omg, best response, hands down, or should I say, hands off! 🤣

phantom limbs aren’t real, they can’t hurt you

Funny as lol....

@@cambridge5770 what is it

@@cambridge5770 are you an amputee?

@@somnodaur8064 it's a therapist meme template lol

Savannah he literally said it the second I read this xD

ok this is sort of unrelated to the amputees, but when i was 16 i dyed my hair green, and a kid on the school bus (like, 1st grade, maybe) asked me what happened to it and i said "i ate too many vegetables" and depending on whether or not that kid thought the green hair was cool, I think that mightve been the wrong thing to say...

One guy told me he lost his legs because he ate too many icees so I was scared of them for years 😂

Aly Homewood same XD

If I were an amputee that's exactly what I'd say to kids haha

oOoOh gone

Hotel? Trivago.

It's so horrible to imagine that happening to anyone, ESPECIALLY a child.

SLiM M For me its better if its a toddler. They won't remember it.

VACCINATE YOUR KIDS ALREADY! Yes but your brain automatically shields itself and removes traumatic memories. Thats why people with severely abusive parents has so many memory losses.

No Karen, I guess it fell off when I grabbed the leftover pizza this morning.

I gotta start doing this 😆

I like your humor! 🤣🤣

If I was an amputee I would do that all the time

@@zooeyplayz4814 same😆

To be honest I do that sometimes

Ikr soo sweet

kids logic is the best kind of logic

I found that so so sweet ❤️

Aw

And how dumb

*oh god it's run off again!*

this happened to me a lot. its great for my sarcasm though

Arent you technically not an amputee of you never had a limb in the first place to be amputated...........?

Then you’re not an amputee.

Doge a “normal” person has all their limbs but an amputee is someone with one or more limbs missing from birth or random accident

Tiffany Campbell But if you’re born without a limb, it wasn’t amputated, so you’re just missing a limb, but not an amputee.

Dacha Doodle well when you put it that wayyyy

I came to the comments just to make sure I wasn't the only one

Which one?

Eike // The girl in the white t-shirt and the guy with the beard

I bet they'll be best friends because they're strangers but they seem to get along cool. Can imagine them becoming best friends

Okay but this actually made me cry laughing

jub8891 I don’t think they chose to be good looking lmao

theyre amputeese that doesnt really have anything to do with the face haha

Not all

IDK. They where born that way probably?

Khayre Tyler ik lmao

It's adorable!

It’s not adorable

@Summer Brown Its not just those children that do that. Even "normal" children do things like that. Its just because they are young and innocent

Omg that's so cute

Awwww!!!

Thags so cute

And bam another one.

bet they cost an arm and a leg though....

It's the Open Bionics Hero Arm I think, first medically approved 3D printed bionic arm! Was only released to the public last week, It's super clever

I love it, my wheelchair is hot pink. If I have to have a disability, hell yeah I’m going to do it in style :)

yes it was totally necessary, either way amputees still can live a good quality of life like able bodied ppl, if they can laugh at gallows humour, than so can you, please don't get offended........

SimonCleric it was a sausage cutter no joke

Oh. Oh dear

I feel like she'd tell you not to feel sorry. She said it as a joke.

I can’t imagine loosing an arm at 2 years old, I feel really bad.

When the kids tried watering her arm to make it grow back 😂

Go home!

Oh god 😂

Boy did you get....ripped off😎

Prosthetics cost that much, ironically.

@@jesseling6672 GET OUT!

3-D printing is changing the costs of the more simple prosthetics, so hopefully the costs will go down. They need to do the same for wheelchairs, as an ultralight manual chair can cost $1500.00 to $10,000.00 and many insurances won’t pay the bulk of the charge.

Well it happened to me twice hahaha 😅 my prosthetic was broken on the street and my foot literally flew...

Hannah Arevalo 🙌🏻🙌🏻😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hannah Arevalo You have completed my life. Your are quite wonderful 😶😁

Ahhh love it

Omgg yeesss hahahahaha

Oh my gosh 😂😂

LOL

I'd be crying with laughter...

honestly, same

Why didn’t he just ask the other person to do it for him?? Lol would’ve made much more sense

I just want to steal memes all day long I’d imagine that people with disabilities want to feel as productive as possible. Rather than succumbing to the disability and its limitations, they’d like to feel as much involved in normal, everyday things as possible.

This episode had me DYING laughing! I think that to me this one and the body mods one are the funniest ones in the series!

MMOJunkie I hate you

Thank you !! I'll be sure to cherish your hate and turn it into a meme or maybe a witty sarcastic reply on how I really don't care....

We know you hate yourself. Relax.

Too soon bro, too soon😥😂

LOL!! Terrible.

Footless Jo what happened?

@@patriciac4245 Her ankle broke into pieces and didn't heal right. After years of painkillers she decided to part with it.

Love you Footless Jo x

I know the comment was made 8 months ago when you said you're a new amputee, but I know that eight months still isn't that long of being an amputee. I have been a below-the-knee amputee on my right side for just over a decade. And became a double-amputee just a few weeks ago on May 31st when I had my left leg amputated below the knee as well. I almost forgot what Phantom pains were like because the longer and longer you're an amputee (so ive observed from different amputees and articles on the subject ive read- but every amputee is different) the more and more of those Phantom pains dissipate. I get them in my right leg sporadically and have Neurontin to take if they get severe. Well when I have my leg amputated last month I literally thought I was dying because of the pains that were shooting through my stump. Nothing I would do or take would help. Heavy heavy narcotics, Neurontin which is a nerve medicine, muscle relaxers, they even gave me benzodiazepines just to try to calm me down from screaming in my hospital room. thankfully it only lasted the day and the day after surgery, Because by the third day I was able to at least set up in my bed and stop crying. They had me on a cocktail of meds so I I slightly remember it but was told all of these details later by my fiance. Are yours still intense or are you able to manage them.. also, if you don't mind me asking, Do you have different kinds of phantom pains like I do? most of them on my right side are merely feelings of my foot actually being there like wiggling my toes or a ditch on the bottom of my foot ET cie but then I get the shooting nerve stabbing type pains that could stabbing type pains that could bring the strongest person to tears in a quick second those are the ones that even with medication sometimes I'm unable to manage and want to know if you have the same issues?

Footless Jo -so true! And I hate it when they say it’s psychological! It is REAL pain!

Agreed, and how blinkered to think like that. Not everyone is as shallow as that!

Because they think even if the disability we have is nowhere near our genitals that something doesn't work and that makes them instantly wanna know how it does work. Its disgusting. I personally have also had people say my disability turns them on...ugh

They don’t

A part of me wonders if this widespread intrigue is linked to our personal insecurities-as a society we're inundated with the feeling that passion requires perfection. Personally, as a forever-single person with mild deformities, and who has agonizingly struggled with beauty ideals, I've had similar questions. With that said, I'd never ever ask a stranger or frame it in that way!

Because all these questions are fake

madcatlady honestly the guy in gray is hot af 😂

Lexy Eleven lol epic!!

I approve this message!

Yep, don't do motorcycles kids.

My aunt lost a leg the same way and used to do things like that too! Some guy wouldn't quit hitting on her at a party once so she played this mean prank on him that involved removing her prosthetic and acting like she had just lost her leg again. I don't remember the specifics, I haven't heard the story in about 20 years but it worked! lol

Lexy Eleven old women on buses are so weird

Jack Hogan Is it bad that I think it looks like she has a giant thumb when she did that?

Yes, that is Victoria Balch. One of the unfortunate victims of the Smiler accident

Yeah she is. The smiler is actually a very good ride she was just very unlucky. I’ve been on the smiler and it’s so cool

That’s hilarious!

My grandpa always used the wood chipper one and shark attack especially for kids. Hahaha

I actually love that😂😂😂

@@Path0ss Is your RU-vid profile banner from a game?

It’s none of their business. I try to embarrass these people and say stuff like. Do you also walk up to blind people and ask how they lost their vision? The people who ask me how I lost my leg, tell me I’m an inspiration, etc seem to have the the mentality of a curious 5 year old.

I am? I didnt notice my whole life.

shipping real people is actually really creepy... i hope this was a joke

@@rowan1413 No they got on realyl well. The way his face lights up when he's talking to her or listening to her. Its amazing.

@@collection6062 i dont care if they got on well. shipping of real people is creepy and controlling nonetheless. what if people shipped you with someone you'd only met once cause you got along with them kinda well? i agree that it's good that they got on well but imagining and pairing other real human people with their own free wills in relationships is really creepy

@@rowan1413 i agree, they may be in a relationship, or may not want one or they might not be interested in the opposite gender... When people see a guy and a girl getting along and having "chemistry" they always ship them together but there can be friendships between men and women!!!! and it's also non of our business lol

Alex Israelyan they were joking, I don’t think you needed to talk them an idiot...

I work at a nursing home and one of the customers got her leg amputated but she still has to pay full price when she goes to the "foot person" to have her toenails cut. Only specialised people or nurses are allowed to cut their toenails due to the nails being quite thick and it's a risk you might cut their skin and a lot of people take waran.

I have a friend and her mother is a cosmetic and she wants them to pay full prices when she washes the foot of somebody who only has one leg because she still need to use almost the same amount of product and it still takes time. Its not like you only have one foot and need exactly half the time and product... Plus it is still a service being performed so asking for a discount for everything is quite rude to me

What about shoes? Do they pay for one or both?

fronschka its a joke.

Pikalop if you say that she ain’t talking to you ever again 💀

Eva Atkinson *omg wow*

Eva Atkinson what did happen to her?

@Unicorn Dreams101 whats her full name tho?

Unicorn Dreams101 Kate Grey

Same!

4:12 a line starts to form! 🤣😂🤣🤣😜 she ain't blind! rofl!!

I still cant get over it ! 😂

oops i left my leg at home again

Crunchy Syrup that always happens to me goddamit

I love this so much!

Wow I'm surprised at the positive feedback on this. Not that I expected any negative feedback that is. I guess it really resonated with a few people. Really I'm just that guy who hates when people call people with disabilities "special" or "special needs". Nah dude they have different or additional needs but they are just people at the end of the day. Classifying people like that just labels them "different" enough in someones mind to be uncomfortable or scary for people who don't understand their differences.

That0Homeless0Guy I have a cousin who does this, he has no hands and doesn’t wear prosthetics. Every time he meets someone he says “SHAKE MY HAND!” Sticks his hands out and smiles waiting for you to shake. When you do he shakes very hard

There are some that exist that actually move just like real limbs. They just so expensive no one owns them lol

It's actually really interesting, because most of the time, they open your arm and place Neuro chips into your nerves so that you can use your brain to move them!! That's why I'm just getting a cosmetic prosthetic lolol

I love prosthetics, they are such a cool application of medicine, science, mechanics etc- I mean, I don't need one or desire one for myself, but I do go to churches to appreciate the beauty without being religious.

@@lordsmobile4692 Well I see her pants so its not a dress. there is no zipper so its not a jacket. I see no hood so its not a hoodie. So yes a shirt. Unless u want to me to call it another type of shirt. Its a shirt. Why are u getting aggressive over me calling it a shirt anyways? U got a shirt fetish or something? If u do weird but im not here to kink shame.

That's hilarious. Easy mistake to make though, haha you're only human. It's pretty cool how far prosthetic technology has gotten to where you can't tell off the bat that wasn't a real hand.

Sometimes it can be a tad patronising though, like when you get news stories because a kid with disabilities got a date to prom, it a) suggests that people are saints and making a sacrifice by choosing to go to prom with someone who's disabled, and b) suggests that people who are disabled can't usually manage these things on their own, and need some able-bodied saviour to take pity on them, then we should all rally around and cry happy inspiration tears because it's such a rare and special event that someone with a disabilities can feel loved, nerver mind be loved, that's asking way too much

MaryJane exactly! I have autism and this is exactly what I'm talking about.

amber cormeny i have autism too! and i totally agree, able people need to realise that life with a disability is perfectly fulfilling and wonderful and when they talk about how much of an 'inspiration' we are for simply existing, it furthers the idea that we are only there to be pitied and be held as an example of what abled people don't want to be.

Thankfully, I haven't been called an 'inspiration', because I would hate it so much if that did happen. Instead, I just get a lot of people signing unintelligibly at me, and people going "Oh yeah, my grandpa has hearing aids too!"

OysterHunter I think if amputees are telling you that they don't want to be called/don't feel comfortable being called an inspiration you should just listen to them and respect their wishes rather than trying to justify why you say it

Bailey Oh, you sure would be. 🐎🐚

Well it happens a lot
