If you don't need it, don't use it.
Now I am not saying that anyone on this post is this type of persona at all,far from it. But I have to admit that when I see someone on one of these, recently my first reaction is, do they need it or are they just being lazy. If your older or obviously handicapped in some way, this does not apply.
We had a man hold up loading a bus on a very very rainy night (last bus of the night) to load a scooter, no big deal right. Except that before the bus had arrived, he had gotten out of the thing, played with kids (throwing them up in the air, etc) actually, lifted the scooter around to get it into place (when he found he couldn't park it correctly) chased the kids around the lot a bit (running) then as soon as the bus came around the corner he jumped into the seat and waited, then instead of just getting on and loading the thing he proceeded to drive it (poorly) onto the bus and block a two seater area (leaving 1 couple to wait there for another bus that needed to be called). Maybe I am out of lien here but that ruins the image of these vehicles for those of you who truly NEED them. I just find it annoying and sad that some people ruin it for others on both sides of that issue.
