Did anyone ever see the "HOUSE" episode where he got into that confrontation with the new employee in a wheelchair, because she got assigned his much closer disabled parking space? His argument was that she has a wheelchair to zip around in and he has to hobble with a cane, physically wearing himself out faster . . .

It is really none of anyone elses business IF we have the doctor's endorsed "authority" to park in a disabled parking spot. Obviously our medical professionals support the need for the spot, and that's all that matters. (Yeah, there are going to be people who abuse other's tags, but there are low-lifes that do all kinds of things that aren't right . . . but we are not the parking or any other kind of "police".)

Parking spots are reserved for the disabled, but what cracks me up is the disabled peoople who think that the toilets are "reserved" for them too. Awe yes . . . everyone else is supposed to line up and share two stalls, while the disabled spot remains empty most of the day?

I had a lady in a wheelchair tag me on that one time in Disneyland (disabled toilet stall), when I was coming out. It's not like I jumped ahead of her ~ she wasn't even in the bathroom when I got there. I said "firstly, these toilets are not RESERVED for anybody, they are just made bigger for the CONVENIENCE of the disabled". "Besides, I have just as many 'toileting' issues are you do, with my MS, and just because I don't look like I have a disability, doesn't mean I don't".

People really ought to mind their own business. Good on you, Marion!
