GREENSBURG, Pa. — An argument at a Greensburg Wendy’s forced several customers to leave the restaurant when a woman began chasing her husband around in her personal mobility scooter, police said.
When the police showed up, they cited the slobs for causing a ruckus. “With it being night out and cars pulling in and out of the parking lot, it created somewhat of a dangerous condition between that and it being physically offensive for the people in the restaurant,” state trooper Steven Limani told Channel 11.
The man and woman are “regulars” at the anus-burger chain’s location across from the old mall in Greensburg, and they have “caused problems there before.” [Channel 11]

Are we just making fun of anybody in a scooter now? I mean, I'm sure the folks involved were all wearing their Tea Party Patriots sweaters/pins/bumper stickers (on their scooters) but the article doesn't mention it or anything.
Wonkette, your top destination for political satire and disability humor!
DELETE MY ACCT KOS!
Yeah, this young account is almost certainly going to see the banhammer for that one. Have mercy, Ken!
Are we just making fun of anybody in a scooter now?
Yes. Now get with the fucking program.
Personally Karen I am SHOCKED that you isolated those in scooters into your political views when you do not even know someones politcal views Which this year has been turmoil in many peoples hearts I never discuss politics as everyone knows it is the Golden Rule but this infuriated me about the scooter people with the lardbottoms that can not drive them etc
FYI-when I go to museums Disney world large museums European tours many times i take my scooter that mind you I paid for myself NOT THE GOVERNment
Did you read the fucking article? Did anything stand out, anything curious at all? You know, like maybe ALL OF THIS?
So, to answer your question, "No, we are not 'just making fun of anybody in a scooter now.' But we sure as fuck will be making fun of married people chasing each other around a Wendy's hamburger stand until the police come."
Oh, just cop to it, man. It was because of the scooter.
Also, if Wonkette ever wanted to embed obnoxious auto-play sound files on any of its posts, "Yakkety Sax" would be a good one for this post.
Ken why is your P so low. The Koreans have a drug for that.
Another crying jag about how mean we are since we mock morons too lazy to walk? Just what we needed.
I am being sarcastic in case that was not obvious.
Can you not see that this post is not making fun of anyone. This is like a Norman Rockwell painting of a slice of Americana-2010 style.
Dear god, I would love to see a Rockwell-style painting of this episode. Does that guy who did the Jebus-and-Constitution painting take commissions?
It could be the Fifth Freedom — Freedom From Tranny
There was a time when we weren't?
They're from frigging Greensburg, PA. for heaven's sake! They've never seen a LIVING black guy, never heard of the Boston Tea Party and are still awaiting that puffed-up little dope growing faggot, George Washington flintlock in paw… guarding their stills. When 'Dawn of the Dead' was being filmed nearby, nobody had to clean-up the half eaten brains. And the extras wore their own blood-stained coveralls…
Hey now, I grew up in Greensburg and I'll have you know that in my high school class of 280, we had like 9 or 10 black kids. Living black kids even.
Are you sure they weren't white kids that were covered in coal dust? Cuz I seen that in the mooovie pitchurs.
People disabled by injury or disease ride in motorized wheelchairs. The only disability consistently associated with these scooters is morbid obesity. Are we making fun of morbidly obese people who refuse to walk? Yes.
This kind of mayhem could be prevented if only people were allowed to bring their guns to Wendy's.
Too bad they didn't have hi-res security cam footage. This would make an excellent ad for Hoveround.
Hey now, Wendy's does have the best burgers of all the national chains; granted that's by default, but "least sucky" is still an accomplishment of sorts.
What are the odds that Darlene ordered herself up a "Triple"?
Better still, the triple Baconator.
Wouldn't that tip the scooter forward? I bet instead she got three singles with three visits to the register. Or, drove up to the drive through. Got a single. Ate it as she circled the building. Repeat.
Triple Baconator – you know…I bet we have a president with that name some day.
Who do you think preceded President Camacho?
My heart stopped one day, just looking at the picture of one of those.
Better than Carl's JR? Given I live in Portland, Oregon and I don't eat fast food, but in the 1990's Carl's was way better than Wendy''s.
"Given I live in Portland, Oregon and I don't eat fast food…"
(falsetto): Hip-ster!
I worked in fast food about 10 years ago during my undergrad days and now the smell just makes me nauseous. The worst is Taco Bell.
I said the best NATIONAL chain; regional chains don't count.
i demand that this incident be depicted as a saturday evening post cover.
Perhaps we could hold a seance and contact the spirit of Norman Rockwell.
In reference to both the original comment and imissopus's reply, this is our new "American Gothic", you know. The pictures of the lean, hungry salt of the earth folk that Dorothea Lange photographed and Grant Wood painted have been summarily replaced with gravy-stained, snaggle-toothed, "do I need to buy another ticket for my fupa to take this a-here Greyhound?", gross-O trolls, who in many cases have eaten themselves out of the ability to fucking walk. Christ. I guess this is what passes for "quaint" nowadays.
Timmy!
Do what now?
He needs his brain, otherwise he's just going to float around out there saying "Do what now?"
ATTN: RNC WV Casting.
Worst idea for a Hoveround commercial ever.
BILLY MAYS HERE. Are you mobility challenged and unable to properly kick ass and take names? Has your husband taken refuge behind a neighboring business, thwarting your hot pursuit? Do curbs, planting beds, and rough terrain stop you from chasing down your quarry?
Well, I'm here from the grave to turn your frown upside down! Fleeing fast food patrons, spouses, illegals crossing the border and the elderly cannot hide from you after you install your new Hoverround 4×4 lift kit – NOW with infrared for night pursuits!
I've actually seen one with a gun rack on it in Arizona. Can we just give that land back to Mexico?
THAT. IS. AWESOME!!!!
How much $?$ and where can I get one?
Too soon!
I agree with this statement wholeheartedly "physically offensive for the people in the restaurant,” state trooper Steven Limani told Channel 11.I find all teabaggers physically offensive, fat or not, disabled, or not….um actually those last two things are a given .
I eagerly await the day when these scooters are totally mad-maxed out, for freedom, with chainsaws and bits of rusty metal bolted on to the sides.
"There has been too much violence, too much pain.
None here are without sin.
But I have an honorable compromise.
Just walk away.
Give me the keys
the anusburgers
the fizzy corn syrup
and the whole government, and I'll spare your lives.
Just walk away. I will give you safe passage in the Teabag Wasteland.
Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror."
Robot Wars with people?
You is a genius.
Oh Yeah
Maybe they should have just "Cow Tipped" each other.
Ooo! Ooo! I have a great idea for a new reality show: "America's Best Sccoter Demolition Derbies" – premiering after the Super Bowl on Fox!
OMG. OH MY GOD. This is my hometown. Literally. The town I grew up in. The town I spent like 18 years of my life in. I HAVE BEEN TO THIS WENDY'S SO MANY TIMES.
Never saw anyone in a mobility scooter "causing problems" though.
Now if only folks like that were allowed to carry rifles, "riding shotgun" on their scooters and shooting at each other like a slow motion drive by. That would make a great youtube video, aside from the innocent casualties.
If I become scooter bound I want a machine gun mounted on the steering unit so I can have scooter fights like WWII dog-fights.
those guys like their machine guns rear mounted, if you know what i mean…
Well this is all fine and dandy but have you seen the YouTube of the guy on the scooter and the elevator? Hmmmmn? I'll wait. Now that is scooter rage.
Needs more Yackety Sax.
This is a case where a taser would have been a real win: Juice them, strip them and send them down main street nekkid as the day they were born strapped snugly to the scooter with the throttle turned up to eleven. Bet they wouldn't disrupt that Wendy's again. It would cause untold numbers of fender benders and puke stained interiors, but the benefit to society would be orders of magnitude greater than the damages.
Maybe if the management banned them because of their bad behavior, they'd lose weight and she wouldn't need the scooter anymore.
Uh, you know how bars and liquor stores are kept in business by hopelessly alcoholic regular customers? I kinda think that buffet restaurants and fast food franchises are the same way. Scooterbound lardasses may be their bread and butter (and deep fried battered potato products, etc.).
Old man starved to death one winter in my apartment complex in the late 1980's in rural Oregon when they took away his driver's license, he had been eating at McDonald's for like 30 years after his wife died. He had 100's of thousands of dollars in the bank.
Local pizza and or chinese food places did not deliver?
Oh the humanity!
LOL, now that's Funny
This is not about disability.
Everybody knows that Kilians are from the planet Kill. Turns out they were arguing over the flying saucer keys again after consuming mass quantities. They have since returned to the mothership "Teabag" where their scooters have been confiscated by the Grand Palinator. They are back to dragging their gigantic nuclei sacs around with their flabby pseudopods until it's Wendy's night next week.
So that lets Ken off the hook.
The scooter vs. the elevator — next stop, the basement! Going down…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMzz5xNwTRg
If Wendy's delicious anus burgers are wrong, I don't want to be right!
I can understand this level of rage if one is fighting for a KFC Double Down. But speeding death scooters for Wendy's?!? Never.
Come on Ken. Are you SURE you didn't pull this one off the Onion's website?
Are they on Food Stamps? They should have their diets forcibly changed. The square burgers are making them mean. They need a healthy diet handed to them by republiscum.
Rascal Races
They're Hungry Angry Hippos!
Hungry, Angry, Demented, Sad, Fucktard Hippos!
Seinfeld episode 1, season 9 – The Butter Shave. Scooter chase scene.
Skoal Rebel in a Hoveround. I EAGERLY await the day.
