(Non) Handicap Parking

(Non) Handicap Parking

I took this picture with my camera phone this morning. I see this all the time at this grocery store: people parking in the handicap parking spaces WITHOUT a handicap tag on their car (I checked). What really gets me is when they park like this idiot--BETWEEN the parking spaces! The area is clearly marked (large diagonal lines) indicating it is a "no parking area", yet they still park there. Don't they know (or care) that that area is there for handicap parkers that might have a lift gate or similar device?

People are so self-centered...and lazy. There was an empty parking space about three spaces over. But then they would have had to walk further. Wouldn't want to burn an extra couple of calories now, would we?

my personal favorite is the guy that parks his car spanning several spots so no one can park remotely close to him. and whats sad is they usually drive some stupid "souped" up honda civic or other rice burner that they have put an "awesome" cold air intake on...

Ha! And they have a "wing" on the back of their front wheel drive car for traction. Goofballs!

Maybe they'll see your post! :) There are also the people who have a handicap tag that you hang from your mirror that is for someone actually handicapped in the family, but USE it even when that person isn't in the car. It even says on the tag NOT to do that.

Baxter: Lots of people seem to think the rules don't apply to them.
