Am I invisble?
« on: March 25, 2012, 12:42:18 PM »
OK ~ I'll 'fess up.
I am just about 6 foot tall and weigh in at 19 stone ..... so NOT small!
I use a motabilty scooter to get around as I am unable to walk more than about 50 yards without aid/medication etc.

Even sat on the scooter, which is bright blue in colour, my head is still some 4 feet from the ground.
Why then do people constantly walk into me? Even short people  censored:
The b@st@rds come at me from all directions and walk straight into the scooter, falling over me in the process .... AND it then become MY FAULT   Angry9:

Yes, being electric powered, it runs on silent but surely since it is 4 feet long and I am sat on it they can hardly claim not to be able to see me.

I just had another one do it when I went down the High Street to the shops.  cussing: Silly bitch walked straight into me. No apology, no I didn't see you .... Just a snarl of rage and a complaint that I was in her way. I travel at anything between 2 and 6 miles an hour. I can only go forward or back. I cannot "step sideways" as she can. All I can do is stop when I see someone in the way. The scooter has a beeper when I re=verse and I can press a button to bleep at people blocking my way. I try not to do this as they always get offended.

This morning's wummun got a mouthful from me and is going to "Tell her husband". He can fvck off too. If he comes round here he will not find me on the scooter but standing tall and weighing in at BIG! That should sort the bugger.  Sinister:
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

I can vouch for him being very tall and distinguished.

I sympathise Snoops. happy100 happy100

Years ago I had to get around in a wheel chair for a few weeks.  I found it exhausting and intimidating as no one sees you.
I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.

ALL offers Snoops? Are you sure? Is there something you haven't told us?
