Why did it make you laugh? I had a stroke in February and have a poorly functioning side. A leg that won’t carry me and an arm that won’t reach. But I CAN stand up and reach with the other side.
I’ve seen several people pull fake wheelchair stunts at stores.
After driving-up to handicapped pkg spots, push the chair to the door, hop in and zip around the store, often getting out and walking thru aisles - one climbing an employee ladder to reach boxes on an upper shelf - and pile them up, for a store employee to take to checkout and load the car. Then, they put the chair into the car, and walk down the strip mall to several other stores, load-up and push a shopping cart back to their car.
Sorry for your medical problems, but there are scamsters out there.
