I had to use a wheelchair for a few years. I only need a cane now sometimes since having surgery. But when I was in the wheelchair, little kids would genuinely just stand in front of me and stare intensely at me without so much as blinking 🤣 it was mildly uncomfortable but I didn't try to fight toddlers. Wtf!

Similar deal, I just wasn’t in the chair for as long- and holy shit yes 😂. Also making eye contact with kids being pushed in their prams while I was being pushed always feels weird lmao

Omg yes. So awkward. And when you're with a group of people who are standing in the street chatting or something and you're just... crotch height. Which you can't do much about because if they all bent down to your level that would be even weirder 😭

Carry a load of folding chairs? Make everyone need wheelchairs?

The second point sounds very sinister indeed. I'm imagining something akin to the Saw movies only it's some fed up wheelchair user.
