Of course people called the cops....didn't take them long to get there
With all the witnesses and his truck was obviously in the handicapped zone when the cops got there and they talked to both of us, although if he got a citation I do not know.

All I know is that I was a hero in front of some people and it felt great lol

It all started when they went in the store...ok for a minute or so and I wouldn't bother(had family with him and such) ok fine, but I got curious and waited....it was 10 minutes....10 freakin minutes he was in the store....that was unacceptable to me so I got all rouled up over it.

I see this *** too much around here and it's just not cool.

Why is it so hard to park a few spaces away from the handi zone? Is that extra 25 feet going to kill him?

I AM lawfully handicapped, I CAN get handicapped parking rights if I want them, but I choose NO, because I feel I do not need to park there YET.

Some people think they are made of gold and everyone has to kiss their ***...well *** that

Even with me standing there with a handicap device, she would not get back into her car. I completely lost it. She had the nerve to say, "god bless you." I told her god had nothing to do with it.

The spa people came out and she took off, did not stay nor move her car. The parking guy got in trouble maybe...too bad no police were called.
it's just so stupid! I mean do they really have to have that sort of convenience ALL THE TIME? Just because it's there? God bless they have to walk another couple of spaces to get in the store.

unreal, man.

My mom told me that the guy may have had a hidden disability too..but I tol dher he had no tags and no tagged license plates with the little wheelchair on it, he was in is 30's about and looked to strut into that store pretty damn well. He wasn't handicapped...no freakin way. He would of told me so too if he were handicapped.

NEVER have a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

Clearly this man was unarmed, and a bully. Someday he will need that spot, and have to circle the city looking for one, because he will be too winded from lung disease, dragging his O2 tank from store to store while he complains about others taking up that space.

What goes round, comes round. its gonna hurt.

Im proud of you!

I'll remember that next time.

It just reminded me of the person I once saw before who had a son who was in one of those vans and he got out, looked like bad autism to me... What if she had to wait for this stupid idiot?

It gets my goat I tellya

Some people think they are made of gold and everyone has to kiss their ***...well F'ck that

I keep seeing morons parking their motorcycles in the wheelchair access spots at the gym. (and yes, I've recently seen handicapped people at the gym. Body builder who's in a chair, but lifts weights with some other seemingly not-handicapped friends, and another guy who looks like he might have MS or something similar who uses a walker. So it's not like there isnt anyone using the gym that doesnt need those spots) So, I keep taking pictures of the moron motorcycles that I keep finding in the hashed marked areas with my ipod camera and them emailing the pictures to the gym with a complaint, and I've been tweeting the pictures to people on my twitter-stream. (nothing like potential public humiliation for these schmucks...my ipod camera isnt good enough to get decent shots of their plates tho unless I'm right on them and I dont want it to be obvious that I'm taking pictures, so I cant really publically humiliate them)

My boyfriend was teasing me today. I was in the town he lives in (about 50 miles from me) to see a baseball game, and we went to the Harry Potter movie tonight (great movie!) and were expecting to have to search for a parking spot and he made a joke to his friend that was with us. He told him to "get a handicapped girlfriend. The parking is great". He was totally just joking about that, because we ended up finding a spot at the theatre that was a non-handicap space that was fine with me for having a shorter walk thru the sweltering heat and into the building. I dont always use the handicap spots if I'm feeling ok. I wasnt too bad this weekend, which was surprising.

I had my placard with me this weekend, but the only time we parked in a handicap spot was when we went to the baseball game because there was no way I was walking from the north-forty of the parking lot to get into the stadium. (they had a whole lot just for handicap parking)
