Disability laughs in a mobility scooter

snookey

Not a scooter one but my oh has a walking stick and is 43 so still young. In the chemists the other day the pharamasist kept asking me the questions even though he was standing next to me.

my dad used to use a mobility scooter. he once was in morrisons buying some cat litter. the cat litter was on the bottom shelf. Dad bent down to get it and fell off his scooter. his coat got caught on the handle bars and his mobility scooter went round and round in circles with dad being dragged round in a circle cos he couldnt stop the bloody thing..:rotfl::rotfl:.

he also fell off the bloody thing whilst admiring a lady ...... my mother used to despair !!! He was very shortsighted and had to wear special glasses.:)

My dad went over the handlebars of his disabled scooter. Mum had locked the back gate so he stood on the platform to reach over and unbolt it. Sadly he hit reverse as he did so sending the scooter backwards and him over the handlebars.
He was unhurt, but Mum almost died laughing. If only they had CCTV.
His newer model he has noted wouldn't allow that to happen so he can't have been the only one.

I got stuck in the kangaroo enclosure at Australia Zoo last year when the battery died on the hired mobility scooter! I felt like I was alone in Jurassic Park!
It wasn't funny at the time, because I'd sent the rest of the family off to look at other things so I could amble along at my own pace (first time of using a mobility scooter and I was having fun!:p) and there was no-one else about. It was hot (not good for MS) and I was a bit panicked for a while, but eventually a couple of wardens came by and one of them fetched me a replacement. Trouble was, I was then too nervous to be on my own in case the same thing happened again so I went and sat in the cafe until my family turned up........
