I've been aware for a while now that those of us using wheelchairs and scooters are far too often considered less than human; today I got another example.
I was in the library, sitting on my scooter looking at shelved books and a 60 something large male comes over, reaches over my head to grab a book.
I was ***! This was an incredible invasion of my space! If my scooter had a reverse mode (it is a Travelscoot, very light, no reverse) I would have run him over.
Does anyone think he would have done this if I were on my feet and looking at a book!
AAARRRGH!
