Good God, what a nation of fat, lazy, worthless pieces of sh!t we’re becoming.
Supermarkets have those, too.
But it’s not the frail little old ladies that use them. It’s the morbidly obese 40/50 year olds. And the scooters don’t have arm rests, so Mr./Ms. Plump’s derriere hangs over both sides of the seat.
They don’t seem to get the irony of driving around the aisles, filling the cart with the food that’s making them fat...
It’s hard to tell just how “trim and fit-looking” Mr. Lezma is in that Fred Durst outfit of baggy shorts and football jersey.
That combo could make anyone look fat.
So ends my fashonista rant.
I hope the rental company gets its money upfront and that the scooters have global positioning on them, they may be the only way home for some folks :)
What’s next? Hiring people to pull the levers?
Note to self: Get to Vegas and open that helper-monkey and muumuu rental shop ASAP.
Isn’t this just what that segway scooter thing was meant for? I think I see a business oportunity here that no one seems to be pouncing on.
I know I’d rather stand tall than sit in a crappy old handy-capped scooter. Also, the segway would be less obtrusive to others since it takes up far less floor space.
Nonsense - it's best to walk it anyway. I lose five pounds every time I go. ;)
I’d get an air-conditioned bubble to walk around Las Vegas. It’s too damned hot there for me.
I'll add that its obscene for people to finaggle those handicap stickers when they are not in a wheelchair, using a walker, or on crutches, or just can't go anywhere......
there are certain diseases/disorders that make any walking unbearable....those people deserve a close in parking spot...
and btw....walking is perhaps the BEST solution to chronic back pain...probably the best solution to weight gain, diabetes, etc...so why docs would give those stickers out to people that NEED to get more exercize is beyond me....
I am talking about people who just can do just fine except its so much easier with the sticker....they can walk entire Costco buildings but they can't walk 50 feet from a regular parking spot....
I have relatives that fit in this category.....sadly....
Absolutely pathetic. No pride whatsoever.
I was in Vegas 2 weeks ago. I go every year. Never saw so many of those Scooter things there in my life.
Same type of folks who I saw line up to get into this “all you can eat” buffet that my grandmother goes to. Such folks will wind up dead of a heart attack by 50 anyway. It still is GROSS to look at them, however.
Having said that, this is pretty disgusting. Apart from the sloth, hedonism, gluttony and softness implied, these things do inconvenience people around them, they're tolerated as a necessary evil when the handicapped use them but are a self-centered indulgence for the healthy.
Even among those who need them I dare say that half of them ate their way into those chairs, blowing out their heart or joints with their mouths. We'd be better off as a society if we were a little less indulgent of such behaviors.
What sort of citizen do you imagine Mr. Lezama to be? Do you think he's likely to make political choices for the greater good that go against his personal interests? If you found out about this scooter thing beforehand would you hire this man for a job? Would you say it says nothing about his character or is likely to bear on his desirability as an employee?
