I came across two electric scooters, parked side-by-side on a public sidewalk near my daughter’s apartment building, where there are residents who use wheelchairs. The sidewalk was completely blocked, so anyone traveling by wheelchair would have to go into the street to get around them. I gently moved them off the sidewalk and onto a rock garden next to it when what I really wanted to do was roughly chunk them into a nearby dumpster. Yet the scooters both had the nerve to scream at me for gently relocating them. I am a grumpy curmudgeon who is easily annoyed. And, I already despise those scooter companies and riders who too often terrorize pedestrians with their speedy and reckless driving on sidewalks. So, if you use these things, please have the courtesy to ride them and park them in a way that does not obstruct sidewalks or endanger others.
