Segways

[heyzeus]

This invention makes me mad, because it serves a need that never existed and makes life more dangerous and annoying for the rest of us.

Segways really only work on the sidewalks in urban areas. So let's take places that are densely populated with pedestrians...and introduce large, mechanized, fast-moving machinery to those previously safe sidewalks just so that a few lazy people can move around a little bit faster without having to walk.

In other words, I almost got run over by a Segway tour group outside my office during lunch.

And speaking of lunch, I had some shrimp stir-fry.


How's that for a segue?

Those things remind me of old fashioned lawn mowers....

Oh! About 6 years ago I was in San Francisco and these things were EVERYWHERE. I haven't seen them anywhere else since though.

[Cronos]

I only ever see them in airports. And they look completely ridiculous.

But damn me if I really wanted to ride one.
