Why America sucks...

[Toogoofy317]

You know I don't know why it is such a sore spot for me. Guess 'cause I hate "having" to park there in the first place and then someone rubbing "salt" into the wound. Even my friends sometimes piss me off if I'm driving and park there they will say "you're lucky to get the good spots" Most of the time I say "Define lucky?!?!? I'll give you my handicapped placard if I can have your good heart" They usually shut up then.

I've only found to perks to being disabled the parking spot and I get in free to the National parks here in the U.S. ! Makes you guys envious right! Uhm suuuurrre!

in my immature days perhaps, but now. realising what it takes to get the placard  not worth the pain and crap one gets. ive went to bat for the disabled here intown before. people who were lazy would pull up, "only for a minute" lol, and get out, and a disabled person would come along and id tell them to pull up behind em to do their thing. and its funny how the non disabled lazy person would act. and im like lady ( usually it was a woman. sorry ladies, jus tellin how it was. anyhoo id say lady you could have parked a bit further down and did a novel thing called walking which it seems you were too lazy to do. while this person does NOT HAVE THAT OPTION. so guess what, now you gotta wait. theyre like threatening to call police. im like thatas real bright capt obvious. call them wanna use my phone. that way youll have to explain why youre in a spot that you are NOT SPOSED to be in. and there is a LARGE fine involved. ( and im a reserve deputy as well. i showed her my badge) she declined to go any fuirther. the hadicapped guy was like DAMN man thanks,  i guarantee she wont do that ahgain for a LONG TIME

I'm like you I hate it when people abuse those spots. And for people who have done that I've said a word too. They were like why do you care? Uhm, because I'm disabled and only park there when I "need" to. So, if I can walk you sure as hell can walk!

It is quite rampant at work. People like to park there to wait for people to pick up which can go up to an hour! They think it is not illegal because they are in the car. As security I have to tell them otherwise and they get PISSED. I just feel bad for the disabled employee who has just survived eight hours and then has to walk a quarter of a mile to get to their car because this lazy idiot won't park two lanes over in the pick up area which is actually closer to where the employees exit at.

I just don't get it! Guess it takes all kinds!
