If offended....look away
To start off, this may offend some people who don't take humor too well. So if you want to keep reading, bear in mind, that this rant is part jest and part annoyance. That said, I will continue.Today I was working at Home Depot, and as I was taking a break, I saw this slightly overweight elderly gentleman who was riding in one of those scooters that most big stores (i.e. Wal-Mart and the like) carry. He was riding ahead of his wife, who (mind you) was walking. After finding what they needed and buying their items, the man eased out of the scooter (much like a lame person that could *magically* walk after a visit to the great Benny Hinn). By then, my jaw was already on the floor at the disbelief that this man was too lazy to walk around for maybe 10 minutes. Now this is not a knock on people who actually need to use these scooters because of handicaps and such, but it is aimed at those men (and women....cause I have seen them do it more often) who can't tough it out for a couple of minutes.
Maybe a part of me is jealous that they get to ride those snail-paced scooters and I have to walk around everywhere.....wait....no it's not (okay...yeah it is). Mostly I am just dissappointed at the total lack of understanding that these people have. He could have at least given his wife a ride in the basket! This is just another example of how lazy people have become, and I wouldn't be surprised if Anheuser-Busch reads this post and makes this the butt of their next "Real Men of Genius" jokes.
We salute you, "The lazy man, who fakes like he can't walk and uses scooters just to make everyone mad."
