You want PROOF - NOW HANDICAPPED PARKING
My Dad had a placard it said on the back it was only for the person
who's name was on it. If anyone else used it they could lose their driver's license for 30 days for the first offense. |

You want PROOF - NOW HANDICAPPED PARKING
My wife has MS. She'll often park in the handicap spot and go
"bopping across the parking lot" into the store, because, after 10 or 15 minutes in the store, she knows its going to be a struggle to get back to the car. She doesn't use a cane (yet), and on many days her condition is invisible. I understand how you feel, because I know we get frustrated when we can't find a disabled spot, or another close spot. However, before you go blocking someone in, imagine how you would feel after getting out of the store with your legs feeling like cinder blocks only to find that some &$#**%! has blocked you in. Oh yeah, then the stress exacerbates the MS symptoms, then the bladder urgency kicks in. I'm not singling you out, as I totally understand your frustration. I'm just hoping that people use a little common sense and compassion overall, and understand that not all disabilities are immediately visible. I am glad you brought that up. I too got the invisible health problems. Some days I can go bopping across the parking lot. Only to walk around the store and the pain sets in. Then my cane is not with me. Then I have to sit and recuperate for a few, then practically feel like crawling back to the car. I have dignity, and refuse to crawl. So I bear the pain, and walk the best I can. I swear, if someone blocks me in, because they think I should not have a handicap parking spot. I would find a way to hit that car, and cause considerable damage. **** what the outcome is, like a ticket. |

You want PROOF - NOW HANDICAPPED PARKING
Having an invisible disability was my main reason for NOT getting a handicapped parking spot. I did not want to take a spot away from someone who needed it more nor would I go blocking someone in who had a handicapped sticker on thier car (if I drove) whether or not they looked like they did not need it. That is just plain mean and insensitive. Even the deaf can get a handicapped parking spot because they cannot hear cars approaching like we can and it is safer for them to park closer to the store. You're an idiot with a martyr complex. With two hip replacements, the last thing I worry about is somebody else thinks. |
