Guy With Prosthetic Leg Confronts Woman Who Questioned His Disability In Tense Video

Guy With Prosthetic Leg Confronts Woman Who Questioned His Disability In Tense Video

Many have been left shocked by a new viral video which shows a man with a prosthetic leg being questioned by a woman who doesn't believe he's disabled.

The incident occurred in the parking lot of a McDonald's in Australia. The man at the center of the incident, a TikToker who goes by the name pnuks, uploaded video of the incident to the platform shortly after it happened.


The woman interrogated pnuks over the disabled parking placard in his car because he didn't "look" disabled.

In the first of two videos, pnuks described the infuriating confrontation he had with the woman, who he called "the disability police."

As he held up his disabled parking placard, pnuks said the woman knocked on his car window and demanded to know if his disability placard was actually his because she couldn't see his disability.

Pnuks angrily directed a message to the camera we'd all do well to follow:

"It's not your business! It's not your business! ... Even if someone doesn't look old or doesn't 'look disabled enough,' if they have a [disabled parking placard] you shut your mouth, and you walk away...
"...The last thing you want to do is approach someone who you think doesn't look disabled and they walk out of the car and you realize, 'holy crap, he's got a leg missing!'... You look stupid! You look like a clown!"

And "like a clown" is pretty much exactly how the woman came off when pnuks confronted her in a follow-up TikTok video.

@pnuks Reply to @lisacameron56 can we get the camera footage @mcdonaldsau ? ##amputee ##pnuks ##lakemba ##boomer ##australia

Walking up to her on his prosthetic leg, pnuks asked the woman why she interrogated him.

She explained the reason she asked is because she very badly needs access to disabled parking herself, and insisted she had "a right" to question him about it.

To which pnuks had the perfect response:

"There's a reason why we have the card, so that this doesn't happen. So you don't assume that someone isn't disabled enough. Don't ever do that again."

On social media, people were firmly on Team pnuks, including many other disabled people.

pnuks's videos of the incident have been viewed more than 1.5 million times and generated more than 200,000 comments, many of them from other disabled people describing similar scenarios.

It's a great reminder to all of us to mind our business.

The official X account for the Democrats called for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's firing amid revelations that Hegseth shared details about U.S. military operations in Yemen using his personal phone in a 13-person Signal group chat that included his wife and brother—despite a prior warning from an aide advising him not to share sensitive information over an unsecure channel ahead of the operation.

That news comes just weeks after Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg reported that he was invited into a Signal chat with high-level Trump administration officials, particularly Hegseth and Vice President J.D. Vance, discussing military strategy surrounding war strikes in Yemen.

Trump Slammed After Using Easter Message To Rage At 'Radical Left Lunatics'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he took to Truth Social to wish a "Happy Easter to all" before quickly switching gears to rage at the "radical leftists" that live in his head rent-free.

Trump's post accused leftists of "scheming" to allow dangerous people into the country, a criticism the White House has leveled against those who've condemned their refusal to bring wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia—who they claim is a "terrorist"— back to the U.S. from a notorious El Salvadoran prison.
