If you saw someone who had fallen out of his wheelchair would you help him? Or would you be afraid of hurting his pride by helping him and let him get back in it himself? * +

I'd ask if he/she wanted some assistance. * +

...after I'd finished laughing, obviously. * +

But my asking if he needs help you may get accused of belittling him. * +

Same as if a midget needed to get something off a top shelf in a shop, he may think you're taking the piss by offering assistance. * +

I'd wait. Then ask. And i'd almost certainly be beaten to it, but if not then i'd help once i could see i was needed. * +

If someone gets offended by an offer of help, they're the ones with the problem. As for midgets, dwarves or whatever they prefer to be called, they can ask if they want help, same as I'd ask them to help me reach something from a low shelf. * +

Same with the midget. ''Need hand, mate?'' springs to mind. I don't care for offending people but i'm no opportunist, i'll only move if i don't see an option without my input. * +
