Mind you the person in the wheelchair was just someone who was using a wheelchair to recoup but it's still funny as Hell! :lmao:

LMAO.

Reminds me of this taxi I called a few weeks back, asked for a rear loading Merc Vito, they had one and they sent it. Idiot driver gets out and sets the ramps on the back, nothing to clip them down, he just sits them on the edge of the boot and doesn't even take into consideration the width of my chair. So first attempt up the ramp gets nowhere. Second attempt I was thinking the ramps would just fall down, but he pushed me up and in...where my feet hit the rear line of chairs so I was about one inch from falling out the back and I had to crouch down because the roof was about two feet too small. And then I look to the floor and see no strap lines or tie downs and then its '**** this buddy, let me the **** outta here before I wreck your ******* taxi.' He protested and I attempted to tear up the first line of seats but then he gave in and I told him to gtfo my property.

(Always make sure your chaired is secure if your taking a ride in it, I've heard a few stories about what happens when this doesn't get done right.)

Hate to say it but if you do it right the first time, you won't have to go back to the hospital again!!--haha
