I added blinky lights to my wheels; still didn't help; lately I want to add undercarriage neon tube lights. Dogs on the other hand; never get in way of the chair; or parts. I dropped by to leave you a note about this gidgy; in reference to a post you made a while back about moo and touch pads. http://www.diatec.co.jp/en/det.php?prod_c=593 People develop all sorts of eyesight problems around wheelchairs.

I'm glad you said something to her in the first place. Obviously her response would certainly warrant a negative, anger filled one in return. I am sure it was difficult to restrain yourself, but good on you for doing so. Some people just aren't worth it. I can't believe she said that. I don't know what I would have done. I like Dianne's idea about the taser-like shots on the chairs/walkers. I wish I had something like that for all the cars that practically run us over when we try to cross the street, or even walk down the side of the street for that matter. Lots of selfish folks out there, unfortunately. Un-freaking-believable! I’m glad you said something to her in the first place.

That's one where I'd usually end up stewing about all the much more creative things I could have said given time to think of those responses. Glad hubby supported you & hope this woman had a quiet moment of reflection & guilt later in her day. Yes, definitely a provocation!

Maybe next time you can just ask her what. Ahhhh. . . clearly there’s something wrong with this woman. Maybe next time you can just ask her what.

People just don't think to look down. I have had a few 'choice' words on occasion too. The sad thing is that it wouldn't much matter what you (or I) said on such occasions. They've already made up their minds and clearly couldn't give a toss to have it pointed out to them that they were actually in the wrong. I work very hard at keeping my cool, but not always with success. Might need to get some chairs and walkers that give out a little taser-like shot to someone who makes unnecessary contact and then decides to cause a scene ;-).

So this person definitely has an eye problem that she should have checked out. First she cannot see the power chair and then she cannot see the very tall normally proportioned person she was addressing. There is no excuse for abusing Moo, but retaliating about her eyesight would only have been adding to the problem of abuse we are complaining about. You did the right thing. Let it go, what goes around comes around, and she will get hers one day. The funny part of all this, if there is one, is that you are definitely not FAT!

She was wrong, acting like a turd & then she called you a B??? In front of your children? AND a fat one @ that? Was provocation warranted? HELL YES! Jacqui, I knew you were strong, but you are a super woman! I WOULD have gone a row with her for sure. The NERVE! She was wrong, acting like a turd & then she called you a B???
