Nevermind the grocery store, what makes these people think it's acceptable to gun it down the sidewalk in one of them? It sucks that you might be sick or injured and have to ride around in one, but here's an idea: How about you drive around with some courtesy so that you don't make me need one?

Guys, you have NO idea if people using them have disabilities or not. Even if somebody looks like they're walking just fine, they could be in massive amounts of pain. A lot of people are fat BECAUSE they are disabled, because they can't exercise without being in pain. People say things like "well that may be the case for some of them but MOST of them are just lazy!" and I have to wonder how in the world you know that. Have you taken a survey?
I know that people love to villainize others, but we all know what they say about assuming. I'm sure that some of them are lazy, yeah, but you have no way to know who or how many.

At Disneyworld there's tons of them, and they always skip the ride lines, get to the front, and then walk onto the ride. I sure am glad to witness these miracles whenever I go on holiday. There is a whole range of disability. Just because somebody can't spend most of the day on their feet doesn't mean they're completely incapable of walking.

It's much lazier to group people together then to actually think about it.

All I'm going to say is that in the days before motorized carts there weren't as many fat people because those with ""disabilities" apparently starved to death because they couldn't do their grocery shopping. Either that or people just walked when they were capable.

When you spend all day, every day at a grocery store seeing the people you get a good idea of who is actually disabled and who is fat and lazy. I am not saying I am always right, but I am right more often than not.

A lot of guys that I know who work out and get injured usually end up gaining a lot of weight in the process.

Oh God, yes, saw this all the time at Disneyland as well. Now, to be fair, I understand if you have a medical condition and have trouble getting around. Perfectly acceptable. What is NOT, at least to me, is tearing through the store like your Rascal is the pace car for the Indy 500. Had one of those people run over my foot while I was holding the door open for them and just heard a SORRY! as Large Marge faded into the distance. Just saying.

One way, if you see someone using one then climb into a jacked up truck without a handicap sticker. That is the fat guy I referred to in an earlier post who never bought anything but pizza, ice cream, and beer.

That is the fat guy I referred to in an earlier post who never bought anything but pizza, ice cream, and beer. My dad drives a giant truck that he has to climb into. He has such a big truck because it's easier for him to sit in something with more room, and causes him less pain. He doesn't have a handicap sticker. My dad is also overweight and can't lose it because of his medical conditions. My dad should be using those carts but is too stubborn. But were he to start using them I guess you'd label him as just fat and lazy. And, by the way, disabled people are allowed to eat crappy food too. You can sit back and make judgments all you want but you have no idea if somebody is disabled or not just by watching them at the grocery store. You have no idea if people are living in pain every day.

My prefered supermarket has fairly wide aisles, so unless the store is like jam-packed I haven't run into any issues with them.
I can't tell specifically why each person needs their cart, but I find it easier to assume the best (that they have pain) than the worst (that they just don't give a shit). But that's me.

I am not saying I am always right, but I am right more often than not. Exactly how do you know you're right? Do you ask them? So, you are saying I should go up to a stranger and ask them if they are legitimately disabled or just a lazy, fat, redneck riding the carts around. I guess that I can see the thinking in that so that you understand if they really in pain. But, I think the immediate laughing and mocking of the rednecks would set them off a little bit. Then the good thing is, since they are in the feople movers they can not maneuver around corners and you can easily run off laughing at them, and the redneck lifestyle that they have. So I guess to be more friendly, I should ask people for any issues they might suffer from before I can laugh at them.

the worst part is, when I brogue kick them out of those carts, I'm suddenly the asshole.

I then responded as to the benefits that might come out of asking people if they are disabled or not. I then agreed with your statement that it is better to ask before mocking, than to mock them and they have a legitimate problem.
