Never understood the need to park in the first couple of spots anyway. I rather park away from other vehicles to avoid the idiots dinging my doors, even though I drive a POS.
Also, WALK you fricking lazy bitches! Karma is gonna get ya!

It’s because half the parking lot is either for handicap and pickups. People actually not fat asses and can shop have about 10 spots to park. So yes, park wherever you want. Fu k em.

Why does it even matter? How does it affect you? Are you handicapped and consistently can’t find close parking bc “healthy” people are parked there?
We had to park far off and walk a ways to the restaurant entrance. Rather difficult as he had to walk even further to get to the ADA ramp because he can't handle steps.
People who abuse handicap tags suck. It affected my FIL, ergo it affected me.

These frickers laugh at us and celebrate how they are "getting over" as if those of us who don't use a fake tag to park in front are the idiots.

Temporary handidcap needs to be eliminated. You either have a handicap plate or you should get a ticket for parking there for like $10,000.
At this point, I kinda feel like society has given handicap spots away as a form of reparations. Those spots aren't for me. They're for others who have earned them due to systemic racism, equity and inclusion.

My sister has severe burns on her feet from an accident when she was a teenager. Her feet are basically all skin grafts, and she doesn't have all of her toes. You would not be able to tell unless she took her shoes off. She walks normally. If she walks much, the skin grafts rub raw and are very susceptible to infection.
I think some do abuse the tags but, also, mind your business.

This.
Also, reminds me of that YouTube douchebag who goes around filming people who don't put grocery carts in the cart lanes at stores and will scold them repeatedly on camera. A lot of people can be lazy, but there are a few people who (just like handicap tag owners) probably cannot physically worry about getting their cart back and leave them near where they parked their car. Does the abuse happen? Yes. Should we assume everyone has the worst intentions? No.
Is it actually THAT big of a deal? No.

They should only make hang tags that work for a couple days. Everything else should require tamper-proof sticker or license plate.
My grandad was crippled in his 30s, and I never once saw him park in a handicapped spot, he also told me that was for folks that needed them.
It pisses me off to see people with "no visible" handicap using them.

Lots of strong Queens who are driving around their leased Mercedes Benz SUVs with temporary handicap tags. Quite interesting.

I agree there is a abuse. However, when I see the below, the ignorance of such a statement pisses ME off.
When my psoriatic arthritis flares, you will not be able to see it other than me moving slowly and in a lot of pain (that you will not see) trying hard to get to and from wherever I am without my legs giving out from under me trying desperately to do things myself during those times when the amount of walking I can do is very limited. There are so many times I've gone to the grocery store and when I get home, all I can do is throw whole bags of refrigerated items in the fridge and go to bed in horrible pain. It's not fun when this happens. You also can't see rheumatoid arthritis and other types of illnesses that affect mobility. I don't wish this on anyone, but I'm tempted to wish it on you, at least for a short time, so you "might" grasp that you can't always see a disability or an illness that affects mobility.

There is a greater systemic problem that has arisen. Fat is Ty a handicap and fat people should have to park in the furthest spot if the y want food. It will be the only exercise they get. They also shouldn’t be allowed to ride scooter in stores.
Just because you’re old doesn’t mean you’re handicap. Your old!
Also unless you need a seeing eye dog or have some grossly debilitating social issue, no pets in stores.
I agree with some things but the I’m for campaign of the month parking places need to go. It started with 4 or 5 veteran parking places, which was fine. It then added first responders parking places. Then pregnant parking places. Senior citizen parking places. Women’s breast cancer survivor.
It’s gotten ridiculous.

Now do the entitled sh*ts who pass on the shoulder, or drive those ridiculous oversized pickups to the front of traffic, then cut in just so they can be first. Those baws are a special kind of handicap.

This and also get pissed when people park in the pick up food spots when they just want to be closer to the store.

You didn’t drop him off at the front and go park yourself?

I mean, pretty much this. I also try to park near the cart return to I can put my buggy up. If there is one already in there when I pull up, I’ll grab it and take it inside. I’ve got arthritis is both knees.
I understand if someone wants to park closer to the building for safety reasons, but so much of it seems like some narcissistic desire to be “closer”
or have the “best” spot.

I can't think of the last time I saw someone who actually looked physically handicapped get out of a car with a tag.
Meanwhile, my 82 year old dad refuses to get a tag, inspite of his unsteadiness on his feet, because he doesn't want to take the spot from someone who "really needs it"
Our society was doomed the minute we got rid of social shame. Some behavior is just bad and deserves to be treated as such.

I’m in big military community here & I know more than a few vets who claim “disabled” for added benefits from
VA. Tons do it. One guy had foot surgery a few years ago & has a disabled tag, but he runs at least 20 miles a week. I wonder what it would feel like if he pulled up next to a legit disabled person in parking spot?

Guess what crippled my grandad? RA treatment wasn't really a thing in his day. I never knew him when he didn't have a walker, wheelchair, or a scooter. He ran a lumber yard without the use of his legs.
Sorry about your situation, but hear me out.
If you are moving slowly, one would assume you have a reason. That's not what we are talking about here. This is about the clearly okay-to-walk 25 yards fat-assses, dubious disabilities, and people using other people's placards.
But seriously - On the days you feel fine, maybe you shouldn't park there?
What if I sprain my ankle? Why am I forced to walk when someone who has no issue on that day can just whip into a luxury spot?
My kid had an ingrown toenail recently and it was excruciating for him. Why should someone in pain like that have to park waaaay out in the back, while someone who "has flare-ups" sometimes gets rock-star parking wherever he goes?
Not everywhere has expectant mom parking. Is it really more fair for someone that sometimes-might-not-feel good to get premium parking vs. someone that is 8 months pregnant?
