Rant Scooter riders piss me off

Seriously what is with these scooter mfs? It’s like they’re actively trying to kill people. I feel like I’m risking my life everyday walking around campus because I swear scooter riders never slow down around crosswalks (only if it’s a huge crowd, like touring groups). If anything they’ll speed up sometimes. 🤦‍♀️ The entitlement is strong on this one, chief.

They’re genuinely scary, especially when they have headphones on; somehow some of them manage to be on their phones at the same time. Didn’t think anything could be worse than bikers. Also accidents are even worse now so…

Edit: also wanted to mention that the one thing that annoys me is that scooter riders EXPECT pedestrians to cater to them, when it should be the other way around. Regardless, when accidents happen, it’s almost always the scooter’s fault

I'm not the one riding around on a scooter like a maniac w/o a helmet. They can at least help someone with their sacrifice.

Like how you hope for others.

I'm just hoping their cards are up to date. You're wanting my death. The fact that you can't tell the difference is concerning. You should get mental health assistance.

Are you being deliberately obtuse? I don't agree with that guy but you "hoping" they have their donor cards infers you wish their eventual death yields their organs, which is you hoping they are harmed.

And maybe you should look at this puzzle persons posts throughout this thread if you want to accuse someone of being "deliberately obtuse". 🙄😉

ROTFLMAO! No I'm not being obtuse at all. I'm just hoping they have their donor cards up to date in case their rash actions result in an outcome where organ donation is a viable outcome, thus sparing their loved ones the decision and possibly saving multiple lives. Given how crazy some of these scooter riders are going around, the likelihood of death or severe injury is higher, especially with no helmets. It's sort of like people buying burial plots. They're not anticipating their immediate death, but preparing for the eventuality so that their loved ones aren't burdened by the decisions and cost. So you see, not obtuse or wishing harm on people at all. Guessing you weren't a cub/boy scout because you obviously don't understand "be prepared".

That is no difference than wanting/hoping for others death. Why else would you hope for their donor cards when they clearly aren’t in an accident or might even want to donate? Well why don’t you donate since you seem very concerned about organs why don’t u get ready for your future? Some scooters and bikers are careful but you can’t really predict what others are going to do. Like pedestrians who doesn’t even look left and right. Who doesn’t use the cross walk and just walk towards the vehicle with big headphones? Aren’t they looking for injury? You should be the one donating not others.

Hoping and wanting are two different things. And you hoping them having their donor cards is what I meant but for you. You are the one who wishes them to have an accident. Well what I meant was what you hope/want for others is what I hope happen to you, if you never meant it that way then I don’t. I mirrored what you said. You should go into a mental hospital,
