TABs

They are the temporarily able-bodied. The ones who wake up and get out of bed and start their days, move throughout them effortlessly, and get into bed at night and fall asleep. Then they repeat the next day.

These people often couldn't care less about disabilities. They can't see themselves as ever needing what are today called "accommodations." The world was built for them, and in order for people with disabilities to function in their world, there must be little cheats here and there, like a handicapped restroom or a ramp near an entrance.

Some TABs don't want to understand why it's important to care about these things NOW, before they acquire a disability and have to mold themselves to fit into someone else's world. They don't vote. They don't read up on diseases that run in their family or that their friends may have. They use terms like "bed-ridden" and "stuck in a wheelchair." They give money to charities and feel good about themselves without really caring what happens to the people it benefits. They think they'll always be just fine.

If there were universal design on things, no one would have to adapt to anyone else's world. Counters would be built to be higher or lower depending on whether you are tall or if you sit in a wheelchair. Buses would ALL be street level so lifts wouldn't be necessary for people who use wheelchairs to board. Jars wouldn't be so friggin' hard to open. You get the idea. 

TABs don't realize that it only takes a millisecond to become disabled. So why not make the world a better place for people with disabilities NOW? The likelihood that you will acquire a disability in your life is extremely high. (Picture your grandmother here.)
