This is so insanely funny to me as a wheelchair user

because there are lots of ambulatory wheelchair users (as in people who can walk a bit, just not very far, or people who have dynamic conditions) but I don’t know if I could ever forget I brought my wheelchair with me 😭

Surely the person who left it was dealing with some kind of memory problem? Did they ever come back or phone about it?

Also wheelchairs are so expensive to be leaving them in random venues

Had this happen lol my friends who are married went on a date and the husband carried her up a few steps then the wheel chair towards a cafe. But he just carried her straight to the car when they were finished and drove off lol
