Motorized Wheelchairs (rant)

I was at Superstore this morning and almost got run over by one of those motorized wheelchairs. This stupid lady was going full speed as I was just turning the corner. She stopped inches from my knee. I just stood there in awe, deciding whether I should drop kick her or not. She goes, "I'll just move around you, then." Seconds later, her husband zips by. We're talking fast. People can't run that fast, let alone walk that fast. It's bad enough kids running around loose in stores. There are elderly people shopping at SS - there's no way they would survive being hit by one of these huge wheelchairs.

Who do these morons think they are? I've also come across some really rude ones too. They feel they have the god given right to bowl anyone over.

Hey, just thought of this. Make a video game called "Motorized Wheelchairs from Hell." You try to make it from one end of the supermarket to the other avoiding fucked up wheelchair operators. Supercharged models and all. LOL. You get bonus points for causing crashes with your ninja moves.

Some of them (a very small percentage) do believe they are driving God's golden chariot and get an undisputed right for people to move out of THEIR way. And with this belief it also comes that people have eyes behind their backs.

Give your head a shake its a courtesy.

A fight almost broke out near Robson a couple years ago when a dude almost got smoked by one of these wheelchair bandits

i recall a similar situation downtown where a couple of people had just finished crossing the street (they were literally on the corner) and some bitch on a motorized wheelchair completely cut them off to cross the street. everyone who saw was quite shocked at how fast she was going and how rude it was to do that.

The bitch today was humongous. She reminded me of Big Bertha. I bet she could have gotten out of that wheelchair easily and whomp me. Husband looked more manageable. She probably has skinny Asians for breakfast. LOL.

I can imagine this woman at the Army and Navy shoe sale. She'd like totally take out a hundred women on a single charge.

Just walk behind them, and tilt their wheelchair back, and gently lay them on their back.

People in wheelchairs have a huge chip on their shoulders, that's why they feel entitled to go faster than anyone would normally walk (or even run) in stores

+1

all wheelchairs should have the option of a manual with a clutch.

Those triptronic wheelchairs just ain't right for ppl who are disabled.

Some of them have wheelie bars. Tipping Big Bertha would have taken three people, LOL.

Bwahahahaha..................... I'm gonna do it. Gonna carry side cutters with me from now on. Better yet, rig a remote controller that'll override the hand controller. Way better than RC cars.

BTW, Bertha was about my age - early 50's, perhaps younger.

After the fireworks on Wednesday, my girlfriend and I were among the crowd exiting English Bay. Just After we got off the beach and onto the road, in front of Milestones, we stopped briefly at the intersection corner, as people in front of us were walking in a perpendicular direction. Out of nowhere, this fucking old hag on a motorized wheelchair went full speed and ran into my girlfriend and I. It was no accident, as the motherfucker was straight hatin' and said things like: "That's what happens when you don't fucking move!"
I was pissed off and just before she got away in the crowd, I landed a fly kick on her back.

That reminds me of the time I pulled into a handicap parking spot to turn my car around, and some fucking cripple came up and told me if he sees me parking there he is going to gut me.

Fuck handicap people.
