Wow! There next to each other on mine too!
5'10" & 6'10" are quite a difference in the discussion at hand though.
Plus, I can proof read.

Sounds like a comment an obese person would write.

That person you seem to think isn't handicapped and walking normal might be an iraq war vet with a prosthetic hidden under pants.


If he's walking around normally then how is he disabled?

My wife and I both have handicapped tags, my wife has has multiple knee surgeries and is limited, she has to have a HC tag or she can't shop. I got mine due to a back injury which surgery has mostly cured, so I seldom use it. Unless my wife is with me, and I usually drop her off and go park in a regular spot.

I do know for a fact that there are doctors in BR that will give you the form for a fee, usually $50. These aren't doctors I'm going to, but they are there. How do I know? I was offered by an employee to get one for me, her sister is a nurse for the doc. I passed and got it through the legal way.

You sound mad

Lack of getting an awesome parking spot is a disability

The solution is to kill all the fatties.

pass a law that by June 2016 anyone over 300lbs gets exterminated and processed into soylent green.

Meh. Well over 90% of women in the US are under 5'10".

My favorite offenders are the ones I see at the gym who park in the handicap spot with a tag, but are able to go inside and lift weights and do cardio. LA Fitness on Siegen has several people who do this.

"I like to park in handicap spaces. Watch handicap people make handicap faces. I'm an a$$hole!"

My pops has Parkinson's and some days his mobility is great, others not do much. He uses the handicap spaces and seemingly looks fine but if he's in a store and feels an episode coming on, he will leave and get back home.

You seem to have a lot of Anxiety about this situation. Maybe you need to go see a Doctor?

True, but average height for a woman in the U.S. is 5'5". 50% of women are over this height in the age range of 20-40 years old.

Blacks are notorious for getting bogus tags. No, that's not "racist", it's the truth.

So you are following these people from their cars and all over the gym to watch exactly what exercises they do? If so that is kinda creepy. How do you know the exercise isn't part of their physical therapy to maintain mobility?


I mean yeah I get it, it's annoying if someone is truly abusing the system to get better parking. But for many I would gladly trade having to park further away and be in great health than face whatever health conditions they have and get great parking.
