Disabled People

Something that REALLY grips my shit is the bitter disabled person. Not that I blame them as I would dread to be disabled or lose the loss of a limb. I was in town today and noticed a wheelchair user sizing up a doorway which had a door that didn't open on sensor. I opened the door for them with a polite 'C'mon mate'.
If looks could kill.............. He snarled he wasn't a TOTAL cripple and didn't need MY help. I really felt like a cunt holding the door open for him. I would bet my mortgage he's probably the type that would INSIST on being helped if the door wouldn't open itself with a sarcastic comment like 'Can't you SEE I can't get up and open it?'
Don't want a deluge of forumites calling me insensitive, and making me feel more of a cunt than I was today, but anyone else suffered anything similar?
As I said, I would hate to live like that, and I KNOW I would be bitter, but not to the point of taking my fury out on anyone who TRIED to help.
