A part of me wanted to help but I didn't know if the guy wanted any help and I was afraid of getting yelled at cause some people don't want to feel handicap even though they are.
    Wait. He GOT UP and pushed the wheelchair? O_O Am I missing something here?

    I would just ask if they need a hand. Usually a simple no would be sufficient if they were ok.

    Some old people can walk, but not for long distances and so prefer a vehicle.

    Interesting thought though. We have a preconceived idea of what sort of people would use wheelchairs. But we are not suprised that people that drive cars can walk.

    Hmm... true! But when you think about it, we are not surprised that people that drive cars can walk is because we also have a preconceived idea of what sort of people would drive.

    Yes. I'm just wondering, is it a fair assumption though. We generally use cars, so we assume people who use cars are just normal like us. But we don't use wheel chairs instead of walking, so we assume there's something different about people who do. Would you agree with that? And do you think it's fair?

    I do realize that I over think with a lot of things but I don't know how to make my thoughts more simple.

    Yes, a simple no would be okay but I was afraid of getting more than just that. Next time (if there is one), I'll ask.

    I don't; I think it's one of the lamest inventions ever.

    I do sort of know what people use it for, however, and it's not all that different from how we use this thread.

    Hmm...All these years of using "esp" as an abbreviation for especially, I had thought it was something I had made up and started using, but its actually an official abbreviation. Hummmm oh well.
