To be clear: this is not a jab at weight, what I’m baffled by is why tf would anyone in a wheelchair use a walking stick like that?
To be clear: I know why the dude has the cane, what im asking about/pointing out is the absurdity of the way he uses the cane in this specific clip, not speculation on the way he uses it in his general life. Just for those in the comments who mistakenly think I’m asking why the dude had the stick in the first place, when I’m asking about the way in which he uses it in this clip. Thank you.
My guess is that is an electric chair and the controller for it is under his right hand but he’s ambulatory so he needs the cane. Likely it’s not comfortable to hold it over his lap or up off the floor. Being disabled leads to using work arounds that don’t always make sense to able bodied folks. Holding a cane still might hurt more then keeping it in motion. Holding it over his lap might interfere with his hand. He could have balance issues and the cane helps him keep orientated. He could just be stimming. Does the why really matter?
Well no, of course it doesn’t matter. I just think it looks funny/silly the way he uses it — that’s not me saying he might not have a reason to, I’ve just never seen someone do it like that, is all
