Mind Your Manners Mobility Scooter users
Posted by Penny,
I had occasion today to board a BC Ferry to take my wife & I on a ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay, near Vancouver, to a quaint little town called Langdale, on BC’s Sunshine Coast.
A delightful 40min ride in an outstanding part of Canada, clear blue sky, dead calm, everything was perfect, almost.
You see there were numerous passengers who were aboard that had obvious disabilities, and were in electric wheelchairs, and a couple of elderly gentlemen riding mobility scooters.
I’m all for disabled people getting out and enjoying our beautiful country as much as I do, but please folks, just because you’re in a mobility scooter, you don’t own the place. We were witness to the rudest chap barging into the lineup for the cafeteria, snarling at passengers lining up to “let me through, get outta the way” type commands, and being generally very obnoxious.
We (able bodied) folk have rights to, & you don’t have the right to make our lives unpleasent because you’re upset with your lot in life.
