If someone really needs a HC space, and has the requisite placard, why the hell should they have to get out of their car and ask someone to move so they can park? It puts the HC parker in the position of having to ask for people to respect their rights, which I think is completely unecessary.<br /><br />In the scenario you just described, there's no reason the driver couldn't drop off the purchaser at the door and then circle the parking lot a few times while waiting for them to be done.Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190655869710465713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-9295540320265677542009-08-25T13:21:26.501-06:002009-08-25T13:21:26.501-06:00Yesterday I saw a car parked, not IN the HC parkin...Yesterday I saw a car parked, not IN the HC parking spaces, but in the stripey zone between them. o.O<br />"But Officer, I wasn't parked in the handicap space!"<br />Hello? Like, they need that stripey zone. That's why it's theeerrree! Duh!<br /><br />What about someone who parks in the HC space, but leaves the driver so s/he can move it if need be? (I had a friend who did this while his wife ran in and he got the hairy eyeball from a bystander. It was gigantor Costco type lot, if I recall, and a two-way walk from the outer rim would have been twice as long as the actual in store time.)Anne C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09444051201220766948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-31421636421592677942009-08-24T15:41:24.659-06:002009-08-24T15:41:24.659-06:00Carol Elaine, I LOVE the idea of the coffee shop h...Carol Elaine, I LOVE the idea of the coffee shop having the Wall of Shame.<br /><br />And I'm thinking handicapped parking enforcement might be a good mid-life career change for me...Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190655869710465713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-13693018619053513482009-08-24T15:17:26.295-06:002009-08-24T15:17:26.295-06:00Addendum: the establishment's Wall of Shame wo...Addendum: the establishment's Wall of Shame would ideally include both mugshot and license plate photo.

What I really need to do is remember to program the proper police number in my phone, because I'm not about to call 911 and I can never remember what number to call. <br /><br />I'd like to think that I'd get this upset because I just don't like to see people do wrong, but the truth is my mom is handicapped, my first boyfriend has spent most of his life in a wheelchair, one of my nephews was born with numerous birth defects and my roommate is now handicapped due to a messed up back and a shattered knee and can only walk with a cane. So yeah, it's fucking personal with me.<br /><br />Fuckers should be glad I don't carry around a baseball bat, for use on either their legs or their cars.<br /><br />I don't advocate disabling the vehicle, though. That just means it's taking up the space for even longer. Getting it legally towed is best. Inconveniences the fucker due to lack of vehicle, puts some negative information on its record and hits them hard in the wallet. Only thing that would make it sweeter would be asking the establishment to put up its own wall of shame for these assholes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-37399522650952334182009-08-23T19:51:38.485-06:002009-08-23T19:51:38.485-06:00That always boggles my mind.

It's out of fear that some mystical unit / god / God / Universe-themed Secret will see me parking there and take it as a sign that I don't appreciate my two legs, and thus conspire to take them away from me.<br /> <br />Perhaps it will take them away via a messenger such as yourself, or some slow wasting disease. Either way, I'll walk the extra 50 feet, burn the single extra calorie and be thankful for my two working legs.Venus Vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01948376896570994277noreply@blogger.com
