So I've been trying out using a cane lately (building I work in will not let me use my scooter). I've got some complex feelings about it

That said, I'm debating if I want to keep using a cane in situations where my scooter. I feel geriatric as all hell using it.
I've never been fond of the "handicapped" label (hence why I use a scooter and not a wheelchair). A cane makes me feel handicapped.

That said, even in America where the law is on my side, people see me on the scooter and assume I'm some asshole who hates walking.

"Looking handicapped" is helpful as a solution to that, as much as I hate the label.
