OT: Handicap parking

Where do you rank non-handicap (physical) people parking in handicap spots?
Worse than shopping cart bandits, Golf course window smashers, banging college bowlers of whom your wife is the coach, left lane drivers, or stealing from a kids cancer hospital?

What about if it’s a Rolls Royce?


BTW, no handicap plate or placard, I thoroughly checked.

It has become a bad situation in some places. I have a handicap tag, not a handicap plaque. I often see people get up and walk into the store without any problem who have parked in the handicapped spot when I have to find a spot in the regular parking.

It depends on where it's at; the more popular stores are where it's more common to find this. I've seen it many times more recently in the past few years.

For the record, you can have a plaque and use it without having the handicap person in the vehicle with you, but if you have to be handicapped to get a tag with a handicap designation.

I was telling someone the other day, in the 70s/80s, if you saw a vehicle with a 100% VA disabled tag, it was usually a WW2 vet who had been shot up during the war. Now if you see one is likely a 30-year-old weighing 400 lbs who also has a full-time government job and parks in a handicapped spot. There is much fraud in all our disability programs, but VA is by far the worst. It pisses me off because they gum up the system for combat vets who are truly injured (mentally and/or physically) and really need and deserve help.

If they're old, I cut them a break. If not, just run over them so they're legit next time.**

I always say, “Laziness is not a handicap.” Scum of the earth, some lazy b@st@rd that just doesn’t want to walk 150’ into the store. I mean, hell, if you’re lazy enough and have no shame, you can even get one of those scooters once you get inside the store. Much worse than not returning the shopping cart to the “corral”, IMO.

While at State, I had ACL reconstruction over Christmas break one year. So when school started back in January, i went to get a temporary handicap parking pass while i was on crutches. I think the doctor’s note said one month. They gave me a pass for the whole spring semester. Even then, though, i didn’t park in handicap spots.

But i absolutely parked in staff lots all spring…

Now they aren’t even bothering in parking in handicap. I have seen a couple of times someone pull up at Walmart and stop at the bollards in front of the store, throw it in park, get out and walk in

I saw one this week at WalMart Grocery in Starkville. Flying through the parking lot music blasting. Whipped into handicap spot closest to front door. Got out talking non stop on cell phone, solid 300 lb female with pajama bottoms and slippers on with pink feathered foam cap on head keeping the hair in place. No tag or rear view hanger in sight

I THOT 0LD P1$$ DIPLOMAS WERE USED FOR HANDICAP PARKING SPACES

And for the record anyone that does that needs an *** whipping.

I agree with this sentiment. If you take one of those spots and don't need it the law should allow that somebody make sure the next time you park, you do need it.

As someone who has a daughter in a wheelchair I can sum up my feelings with this helpful video:

My wife is handicapped and we‘ve seen on numerous occasions lazy *** non-handicapped people with and without cards or plates park in spots that we could’ve used (she has MS) . When she’s not with me I never park in handicapped even though we’ve got a legal permit.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I had a card, last year, that hung from my rearview mirror. Did not use it much, but on occasion, I forgot to hang it up, when I got out of the car.
It happens.

(not legal to hang anything from rearview, while driving.)

 

[kired]

My dad is just the opposite. He’s got a card due to back problems. He keeps it in the truck but almost never uses it. And he wouldn’t be caught dead on one of those scooters

If you're upset with handicapped parking fraud. Be careful what you're doing

Be careful assuming. I knew a guy that had one for emphysema. Could only walk so far before he was too out of breath to continue. He didn't look handicapped.

Lots of people have other's cards in their cars because they have older or handicapped relatives they take shopping or to the doctor from time to time. Unfortunately many of them are low down enough to use the card when their relative is not with them.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

Grinds my gears but not all handicaps are always immediately visible. Placards or the handicaps themselves.

 

[ZombieKissinger]

I park in them because I have a handicap of 36, and that’s the highest of anyone I know
