Dear Motorized Scooter Fat Guy (1 Viewer)

[TheIronSheik]

Dear Motorized Wheel Chair Guy,

Please do not ride your Motorized Wheel Chair on main roadways. You are a danger to yourself and to drivers of cars which is what the roads were built for anyway. You are going 1/4 of the speed as the automobiles that are having to swerve around you. You do not own the road. You are not in the Special Olympics.

All kidding aside, there is a guy who lives somewhere near my commute home. Twice now, I have come around a turn, in the middle of the woods, no houses or anything around, only to see a guy on a Motorized Wheel Chair riding in the middle of the road. I'm guessing stupid decisions is what put this guy in a wheel chair to begin with.

 

[DiStefano]

Maybe. But most of the people who I see in motorized wheel chairs are grossly obese. But you might say that they made stupid decisions over and over that put them in those chairs, too.

 

[Bucky86]

I once saw a crazy lady driving one of these with a little dog on her lap. She crossed the rode using a crosswalk and then she rode right into a wall on the other side...the little dog fell out.

 

[msommer]

He probably used to be a cyclist when he could walk

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

So you automatically assume that he ended up in that wheelchair by making bad decisions? Maybe he was born handicapped. Ever think of that? Nooooo, of course not. He's automatically stupid!

You know what you are? You're a handicapist! That's what you are!

 

[Super King]

Diabetes....

really? most of the people I see in motorized wheel chair are paraplegics. Sorry if they are too fat for your comfort.

I get annoyed when I see a moped on the highway and the moped tops out at 40 mph while everyone is trying to do 55 mph.

I'd feel bad if I hit him by accident and the doctor had to tell him he was going to have to spend the rest of his life in a wheel chair. :(

This guy was doing about 2 mph on a 45 mph road. With blind turns and hills. Maybe he was a thrill junkie.

Did he throw his hands up when he went downhill?

 

[El Floppo]

I've got a woman in the neighborhood who rides down the sidewalk in one of those things... blazing fast (faster than top running speed). Sometimes with a grandkid or two on her lap. I routinely have to dive out of her way. Stay on the roads you punk grandma :shakesfist:

 

[Politician Spock]

Maybe he wants to die, and is pissed that you keep seeing him and hitting your brakes?

 

[Jobber]

Wait, are we talking wheelchairs or fatmobiles? There is a distinct difference here. One involves an actual medical issue, the other not so much.

To be fair, I couldn't tell. The person looked big, but not big enough to need a mobile cart. It was a tough call.

This is a good question, was the rider morbidly obese?

 

[Apes with Guns]

what's a main roadway?

sorry, i couldn't resist.

 

[NutterButter]

Christ, you and your obsession with other non-motorists using the road.

Dear Sheik,

Learn how to share the road. If you have recurring close calls, maybe you're going to fast and should slow down.

Don't know. Was plagiarizing from Joe T.

 

[Kal El]

Haven't seen this, but the Walmart in town has about 10 of these parked near the door, and people who seem otherwise capable of shopping will sit down and go. The last time I was at the store, I saw one abandoned in the middle of the store, and for a split second thought I had just missed a miracle.

Yikes. Apparently humor is no longer allowed here? My bad.

Was it a wheelchair like this http://www.americanwheelchairs.com/defaul17.jpg

or a scooter like this: http://www.meritshealth.com/upfiles/pro01283364472.jpg

It was the second one. So I guess they were fat and not handicapped?

I *THINK* the person I was plagarizing wasn't trying to be funny, so you get a pass.

1) are we talking about one person or many people here?

2) did they lose 130 lbs since these incidents?

I wonder if he had a job?

Stop picking on MC/DSP/Dr. Zoidberg/bluemagic...... You are only attacking him because he's mentally ill!

HE IS SPENDING YOUR MONEY TOO!

These things seem to out number guests on any given day at a Disney theme park. I'm waiting for the day when as soon as you walk in the gate, there is one waiting for you to zip around in. It's amazing to see some family's with a person riding it and the rest of the family hanging off it like a middle eastern train car. And god forgot you get caught in one of their paths, they will run you down and keep on going.

Dear Compact SUV Guy,

Please slow down when you go around corners in your new CUV. You are a danger to yourself and those driving scooters, riding bikes, or just taking a stroll down the middle of a main roadway. You are going twice the speed of sound as you listen to your Rock and Roll music. If I don't die from the impact, the horrible music could make me want to drive my scooter off the closest cliff. You do not own the road. You are not driving on the Autobahn or at the Indy 500.

Don't you think I would go faster, if I could? Denny's early bird specials stop at 4:30pm

 

[Mr. Retukes]

what's a main roadway?

Oh, about 110 pounds per square yard.

Same thing here but lately I've noticed a lot of young black people riding around Walmart in these,

Just a ploy to get to the head of the line.

Twice now I've seen a guy on Beach Drive (kinda long road through DC and MD that winds through Rock Creek Park... 2 lanes, yellow lined middle) who is shirtless, wearing a Walkman, and jump roping down the road. Beach Drive has a bike path next to it, like 10 feet away. But this guy thinks its his right to jump freaking rope down the road. My wife has seen him once. So, he does this somewhat regularly.

First time I saw him I thought it was an iPod. 2nd time, I payed closer attention and noticed that yes, its a walkman tape player.

The whole thing could not possibly be more ridiculous.

I had South Park on in the background last night... pretty sure the episode was centered on this.
