I remember this dude in vanilla WoW who was on basically 24/7. He was a part of our PvP crew. Was such a freak that he got rank 14 and basically sat at rank 12-13 after that every week for no benefit, he just played that much (to anyone who knows how crazy the pvp ranking system was in vanilla and how much time it required)

We used to talk shit behind his back, calling him a loser, etc. Then I found out from him that he had an injury to his spine at work, lost the use of his legs, and was in a wheelchair, on disability since. I felt like the biggest douche for talking smack

There are some people who abuse social services and sit on disability because they claim to be too fat or too anxious to work or whatever, but they are the minority. It would be unfair to assume everyone on disability is milking it
