Hi Mark,
Some people are really insensitive. I have to use the scooters in the stores & often notice children staring at me. Some times I think they just want to know how the scooter works & wish they could drive it. But I also know that kids are curious. I just smile at them & they usually just smile back and that's the end of it. But sometimes the parent looks uneasy, like they just want to get away. I guess it bothered me more at first but now I don't let it get to me. What bugs me is when people ram their carts into me. I wish they would watch where they are going.
It really is a shame that people aren't more compassionate.
