A Double Dose of Ignorant

I park in them all the time and there is nothing wrong with me. However, Tony does have a back back and has had a card for years, he did not look sick. When he came down with lung cancer he only looked sick for around 8 months, he does not look sick now. BUT he cannot walk far before he just can`t breathe. People may see me get out of my car parked in a handicap spot and "run" inside the store. I am sure that pisses people off but I was running to get my father a wheelchair because he cannot walk at all. BUT I always had a place card for them. When I was alone I never parked in those spots. I always get mad when I see a 500 pound person in the electric carts and old sick people can`t find one to use. But once again, I cant judge, something is handicap about that person or they would not do that to themselves. You cannot judge a book by the cover, know the story before you judge is how I have to look at things.

well Jim there is a story to this.Many years ago my lovely niece was parked in a handicap zone.I said you cannot park there. Oh yes.I have a very bad heart.She was right.A couple of years I lost her. Many have handicap in a different way.Not saying this person. I have learned a lot on this.Try not to be too harsh.

It happens like that in my city too. It pisses me too.

Did they have a handicapped license plate or hanging placard?

It never fails to amaze me at how thoughtless people can be!

They need to be made handicapped (kidding)

It happens everywhere and it is frustrating. You cannot see people who have chronic fatigue or a bum knee, but those are handicapped.The last adult disabled facility I worked for did not want the clients using handicapped spaces. He said that was the reason that they had support people with them, to push them in wheel chairs, get them carts, etc. You know, those handicapped clients were more polite than the guy you describe and they never would have thought to leave their carts etc. in the lot.

Well, I was a care giver for a few years. One particular lady I cared for had a lung condition. She refused to bring her 02 when we were out running errands. I used her handicap marking sticker all the time so she was close to the door. Why not drop her at the door then go park? Because she wanted to walk into the store herself. Had to use a store scooter after that, but she wanted to walk in. Pride? Doing something on their own? Who knows, but for her own quality of life, I did as she needed. I think it was a mental kudos to her.

I have a handicapped placard on my truck because of my arthritis. Before my hip replacement, I sorely needed it, too. You could tell when you saw me using my cane. Now I am cane free but still occasionally park in the handicapped spot. Someone seeing me may think I'm not entitled to park there since I don't show any outward signs, but there are still days I need those close spots after a long day on my feet working.

There are many people who only care for themselves.

You should have let his tyres down - just joking but it's still a nice thought.

That makes me so angry.

They do that all the time in the city. And they are not handicapped or transporting someone who is.

Yes it's sad but there are some ignorant people

Disabilities arent always visiblem its ok to be irked but you dobt want to end uon the news for shooting someone

In a way, I feel glad...I mean, I realize, we Indians are not alone in this rule breaking game. I was constantly condemning Indians for it..ok...serious...there may be some camera taking pictures. Surely they can be made to pay more penalties, which can be used for cleaning restrooms.

It's the same here. There is a blind road on our road. But usually it's full of stuff.

I've learned not to judge someone's ability or disability by appearances. My nieces car has been spit on and she's had several Nast messages left under her windshield. She looks healthy....tries to stay active, but has some serious physical limitations. I'm irked by those who clearly can't read...No Parking......should be self explanatory. It applies to everyone except emergency vehicles. Yet I've been told when I pointed it out...I'm only running in for a minute...I'm nit parked. Face palm!

@porwest I agree with you Jim. There are people that just do not get it and should be whacked or shaken or something should be done about them.

Love of money! And envy! Sorry! Like Fame, Female and Fortune are destroyers of pedestals! It happened as me!
