So I am driving down the road past this assisted living place, when I see an old man on a motorized scooter pull up to the road, stop, and throw out a left-turn signal.It kind of freaked me out a little, I have to admit. Quick like a bunny, I got the phone number to the place, call them, and have this charming little conversation. "Whatever assisted living, can I help you?" I say, "Yes, I was just driving by and saw one of your residents getting ready to ride his motorized chair out into traffic." There was a pause on the other end. "Sir, you do know this is an assisted living facility, correct? We aren't responsible for our residents. Some of them like to ride their carts to Wal-Mart." She says to me, as if I were totally retarded for being concerned about this dude's welfare. Keeping chipper, I retort "Yes I know, but he just pulled out into the road..." "Oh!" She exclaimed, "He does that all the time! Scares the daylights out of me, but I guess he gets home okay!" I was dumbfounded. "Well, thanks for taking care of that, ma'am." I said a little bit too sarcastically. "No problem, dear. He should be along around sunset, I imagine." Yeeeah. Anybody ever feel like they're living in a Douglas Adams novel? Sheesh. TimChose [
