I doubt she was even legally handicapped. The people who tend to obsess over this sort of thing are usually people who can't keep their noses out of others' business rather than people who are actually affected by that sort of thing (affected by the parking spot, not by the disability).

And I think that legally handicapped people who are perfectly capable of walking into a stor eon their own taking up a wheelchair-accessible handicapped spot are just as bad as non-handicapped people doing the same. There ought to be separate, non-wheelchair based handicapped spots for people who don't need a wheelchair but do have an inability to walk more than short distances (for example, damaged leg).

Cause honestly if I saw someone parked there, I wouldnt bother especially if they are COMING OUT OF THE STORE, and especially when there are enough other open handicapped spots. If I was a cop, I suppose that would be another story, but come on, mind your own business.

This only applies for minor things of course, if you see a murder going on, you should probably do something

She didn't have a uniform on and she didn't bat an eye when I told her to fuck off, so, yeah, just a woman.

bah, I hate those kind of people, wanna be heros who need to mind their own business, as if they have never made a minor offence on anything.

She asked why I would do such a thing against the poor ol' handicappers? I replied: Who the hell cares about them?

That's right. I'm tired of them bossing us able bodied people around. Why the hell should businesses use their own money to build ramps? Why not just, hey presto, let them decide if they want to use basic human decency to make one? I hate how we just bow down to them. I hate how they expect us to cater to their every need. Oh, so sorry, you're paralyzed. Oh no! You're daughter has down syndrome? So what?

I'd like to know why we're wasting our tax money on special needs departments in schools, or why our cash is going towards making a ramp in the park right next the stairs. I don't understand why special needs kids- the ones who are not going to get any smarter, the ones who are only going to be a burden to society. Now, I know this isn't prehistoric times. We can't let people who have something wrong with them die. I support helping them survive. But it seems to me that the government wants people to survive in style, a bit too much.

Did you hear about this dwarf- primordial dwarfism, I believe its called- whose mother got so pissed that they made her daughter (the dwarf) sit by herself at a table during daycare, only because they only had one small table and chair to fit her, that she demanded they shrink EVERYTHING ELSE? Bullshit! It's like that Kurt Vonnegut story- Harrison Bergeron, where the government forces everyone else to be handicapped just so the few retarded kids or disabled people can feel special. No, people! You're not special.

Or what about the fatasses who got a handicapped parking pass since they couldn't stand walking a few more seconds. This is their own fault. If they could control themselves, they'd be fine. Jesus.

Like I said before- I'll open some doors for the poor guys, all that good stuff, but only if I want to. This is what happens when I get a ticket. The shit goes down.

Wow, you're an idiot and i hope you get MANY more tickets in the future. Walk a few feet more instead of being an asshole about it to people. I find it hilarious you are willing to help someone survive but you are not willing to help them out if they have problems, because that's the attitude that is showing in your post. We need less people like you in the world, lend a helping hand to people who need it, instead of giving them the shaft and nothing because of their problems. You are a joke.

I work at a grocery store, i see it all the time. People are also VERY stupid, and lazy. This is why i have a problem with it, most of the time it's elderly people who have a hard time walking who take those spots, instead of a mentally handicapped person. They have those spots for a reason,
a person who can walk fine should take any of the OTHER million of parking spots that are there, instead they are too lazy to walk a few feet more and someone who has a hard time walking has to suffer because of it. I don't expect young people to understand, but when you get older (i'm still young btw) you will need those spots because of artheritis(sp?), and other issues they have, this can also mean young people who have problems too.
