Here's what happened. The last person to rent this scooter is a germaphobe who rents scooters all the time. He carries condoms around with him because they're individually sealed so he knows they're sterile when they come out of the package, and they're a perfect fit for the handlebar. Any time he rents a scooter he just slides a new condom on the handlebar so he doesn't have to worry about touching the surface that the last rando who rented that scooter had touched. And you don't have to worry about catching anything off that condom because the dude's a germaphobe, so obviously he sanitizes his hands all the time, so there won't be anything icky from him touching the condom.

How do I know this is what actually happened? It has to be, because any alternative explanations would kinda require you to cut off your hand.

It did seem fresh and unused, although hot and sticky in this 95°F heat..

My guess is some prankster teenagers trying to be funny. At least they are using protection!

If it had been used, it probably would've been inside out and then very difficult to slide onto a handlebar

And when he's done with the scooter, he just leaves it for the next person with the condom on. That way he doesn't get germs on his hands from taking the condom off, the next person does.

Majority of condoms sold aren't medically sterile, so the dude is fucked 🫠
