My outlook on scooters are a little more aggresive. Again, if you have an ailment or medical condition that requires a scooter then OK. However, After going to Disney now for four years, I have seen some pretty poor excuses for needing a scooter and this past April while leaving the Fantasmic show I watched in dismay as some woman in a scooter was letting her child set in her lap next to the exit where we all were leaving the show and her kid decided to gas the pedal and caught the back calf of a young girl who was with her father. The woman in the scooter actually began yelling at the father of the girl. Some people on scooters don't take any responsibility and can be rude themselves.
My other issue with scooters is that people use them simply because they are too lazy to walk. Not because of issues that you related but just lazy. I am 43 and by no stretch of the imagination skinny or some athlete but consider that the scooter needs to take up 3 seats on the bus then the person get off that then sits in another seat. That's three seats that someone can't use because of one. Simply put. There needs to be a legit reason for renting one. I say this because while there are some people with really nasty attitudes who would say things without thinking, there are those of us who see the other side of the coin as well.
