They have conducted a risk/benefit analysis and realized it would be more work to bring it (non-accessible venue, not going too far, no extra baggage to carry) 

They cannot transport it properly

They are with a trusted person who can help them if they need it

A unique, short-term injury prevents mobility aid use

They Ubered or drove in and got to cut the commute

They started a new medication that allows them more freedom

They are scared of how people may judge them for their physical attributes (overweight, “looking healthy”)

They are with someone that restricts access to their mobility aid, or makes them feel unsafe using it

They are going to an interview and don’t want to disclose their disability 

Their physical therapy regimen requires some unassisted exercise and this was the only suitable time

They are having a “good” day

and I cannot stress this enough

a lot of places have a culture that valorizes never sleeping and not eating right and not taking breaks and stuff like that.

I will destroy you. and then I will have a pleasant lunch.
