Apparently it has gotten around that I am not one of the tallest any more with my 1,38 m in the wheelchair.
This

So somebody actually thought ahead, or it was a hobbit

With the whole weight in my neck I am always hoping that my titanium vertebra is not breaking…

The most important safety equipment of a wheeler is his mobile phone.
You need it in the most paradox situations, maybe I will tell more about it later.
Yesterday I wanted to change my ancient mobile phone tariff and visited a store with the magenta coloured rectangles (translator’s note: German telecom), because online you can only upgrade and not downgrade your contracts.
A very kind competent service guy changed my tariff by means of a TAN code and a generated text message on my mobile phone immediately and without unnecessary sales talk.
Fascinating technology…
I interpreted the permanent clattering on the keyboard as work.
Then perceived 20 pages of paper with some standard templates were printed, filled, signed, and I was almost content.
Furthermore I wanted to terminate a partner SIM card, for which they already told me at the telephone hotline that this could only be done in writing, and I would best visit a shop.
I asked the service guy for the termination and he said that he would immediately set up a document.
The service counter was rather high for me so that I didn’t see exactly what he was writing.
Have a look yourself, you can close “digitally” the weirdest contracts with the company bling, bling, bling, bling.
SMS, WARP, GPS, UMTS… everything is possible, but for a simple termination letter the analogue pen has to come out!!!
Afterwards I was surprised that the service guy of this younger generation could actually handle such an ancient helping aid (pen).

As wheelchair user I have neglected the subject of rollators or walkers a little bit until now. During my journeys through the depth of the internet I have discovered some especially beautiful types:

So many rodents you would have to keep to replace a nuclear power plant. Each animal would have to get through a daily stint of 4 hours in the treadmill. We owe this finding to the British student Peter Ash as well as his
It is driving with its wheel a dynamo (see movie), to recharge Peter’s mobile phone. If this is not a marketing gag Elvis has trotted at least to the output power of 1,3 watt of a recharger.
We wheelchair users can do this as well:
We are spinning the wheel the whole day long.
Should we follow the example of the hamster, mount a generator to the wheelchair and feed the generolled power into the electricity grid?
If we wheelchair users are spinning the wheel together we would be doing something good for the environment day-to-day!
How about the slogan:
OK, the time has come now, you can institutionalize me!

The most odd stories happen to us wheelers.
Here is a great story from… let’s call her Maria:
Yesterday at the groceries:
In our shopping center there is a big supermarket,
nice staff, very helpful.
Regularly trainees at the counter who are asking
if they may pack your groceries.
I am rolling through the cashier with a
big water melon
(I could live on these tasty things, yummy!)
and a
zucchini.
I pay, everything alright.
Then the question of the ca. 18-year-old trainee:
“Are you OK, or shall I pop it in for you?”
I am looking at the melon and the zucchini and alternately at him…
…laughed myself into stitches… and answer:
“Neither one nor the other, thanks.”
But you may pack the melon and the zucchini into the net behind my back.
With such friendly staff you are happy to come back!
