Please enlighten me! I was at the mall for about four hours with my mom, who can't walk for very long due to back pain. We got her one of those big scooters with the basket on it (they are hard to ignore). We spent alot of time waiting for people to get out of the way. Then, to add insult to injury at least a dozen people actually walked right into the scooter she was using (seriously, I kid you not they didn't even say "excuse me" to her). As we were trying to get back to the place to take the scooter, people surrounded her and prevented her from moving for a few minutes. My mother was being polite not to run these people down, even though they sure deserved it.
People get out of the way for mothers with strollers but not for wheelchairs, it's just not right. People in wheelchairs aren't in them to get sympathy; they have feelings just like the rest of us. I would like to thank the two young men who knodded, smiled and said "Hi" to my mom. They really made her day!
