All due compassion to people who really need these contraptions, but I think that’s a funny story.
In this town there are tons (not literally) of people all over the strip and in casinos in little scooters. They just barrel right through crowds running over toes, upsetting change carts and cocktail waitress trays. For this town, at least, I think they should consider issuing operators permits. Drinks are cheap and these folks are hell on wheels.
Nvme77, I’m assuming from your location description and your reference to the strip and casinos that you’re in Las Vegas. My wife and I go there once a year and we’ve noticed the recent proliferation of scooters and electric wheelchairs, as well as the fact that some of the people in them could use driving lessons. Of course, it doesn’t help that people tend to stand in the aisles or not look where they’re walking, hypnotized by the flashing lights and sounds from the slot machines. We’re thinking of having an air horn installed on her scooter.
To do the accent thing, do Alt-0233.
Like so: é
I tested the Alt-numeric combinations some time ago… quite a nifty trick.

A few years ago, my dad got kicked out of a grocery store for cruising in one of those scooters. They said he was Disturbing people because he kept bumping into stuff, and horseplaying.
The thing that made it so funny was just the fact that while he never needed a scooter, he was so fascinated by them and loved to ride around it.
Flowerchild, I already really, really like your Dad.
Although I know I should try to control these thoughts, or at least keep them to myself, I find myself incapable of such control. I know there was probably a really good reason for this man to be in the scooter. As people have mentioned, he probably had a heart, neurological or joint condition. In fact, after thinking about it, I wouldn’t have laughed at it if he weren’t such an asshole. It’s sorta like laughing at the guy on the highway who rides your ass even though you’re going 80 and zooms in front of you. Then later you pass him because he’s been pulled over by a cop. I love that. 
After that, and up until the day he died my sister wouldnt go shopping with him anymore. It was funny as hell
