Why do some people above the age of 12 years old think that a micro scooter is a suitable method of transport. Especially on the pavement!
Now this may just be a phenomenon in Sydney that people the same age my parents use these things to shave a few seconds of the time it takes to get from the bus stop to the office. If you have had to dive out of the way of some suit who is out of control on his kids toy then you will understand my sentiment.
Not only have I seen idiots narrowly avoiding sane folk who were using the pavements in a sensible manner but I have also seen people tearing up the aisles of the local supermarket. Granted it was the woolworths in Surry Hills so it could have been some fruit loop from the hostel opposite.
I'm just waiting to see my first pre-senile delinquent in a pair of those shoes with a wheel in the heel trying to stop after picking up a bit too much speed.
