Line 8:
The "faking it" variation is a parody of a similar behavior in real life, which can be a [[Berserk Button]] for people who actually are disabled, due to the prejudice they are targeted with every day compounded with having to put up with ignorant assholes who are adding insult to their injury by claiming to have it just to get attention and/or have a convenient excuse for being a jerk.
A [[Sub Trope]] of [[Acquired Situational Narcissism]]. When a disabled character is not entirely jerkass, but just snarky, they are a [[Disabled Snarker]]. When a character uses their age rather than an illness to get away with similar behavior its [[Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!]].
'''[[No Real Life Examples Please]]'''
