    I know what crutches are and how they work, I’ve had to use them before.

    If someone is on crutches, people won’t see the irony in saying “pick up that heavy object and put it in the oven”.

    This is what I’m confused about. Do you mean people would ask someone using crutches to put something heavy in an oven without taking into account they’re using crutches?

      Yeah, you’d be surprised what tasks people don’t have second thoughts about asking about.

        That’s wild. I’ve had the opposite problem where people with obvious disabilities get angry because I can’t not help them.
