Now the Veterans spots are popping up

As the child of someone whose parent had a disability, it pisses me off every time I see it happen. When I was growing up and would take the family car to the store, if I wasn't with my dad I parked in the non-handicapped spots because I respected the spots.

I read this as “and they have no leg”

Very sneaky genro. Technically you are correct and you get some smart arse points

I keep a box of roofing tacks in my truck for just the occasion.

Friend is able bodied but had handicap plates for losing a part of himself in Afghanistan. However, if you look at him getting out of the car he looks normal

None of my damn business. I'll just let karma do its thing.

I don’t say anything because it’s none of my damn business.

When I was in college my friend would use my van to go off campus sometimes and he use to like to frick with people. He would park in a handicap spot, put the ramp down and walk out of it...
It was pretty funny. Because when he first did it on campus, there were people walking by and we were outside across the street waiting for him. He parks, puts the ramp down, gets out and walks away and there were people all turning around looking at him like "WTF?".

My dad is disabled due to severe arthritis. Sometimes we go somewhere in my vehicle which doesnt have a tag. Usually I drop him at the curb and park somewhere else but once in a while we have parked in a handicapped spot.

It’s amazing the abuse amongst blacks. Whites do it too, but not quite at the same level. Usually with the whites it’s at least a middle aged person who conceivably have a legit issue. Young strapping black people have no qualms about using every HC spot available.

I don’t understand how it is a law. The % of spaces used by legitimate and illegitimate use still leaves a huge amount of unused spots. The exceptions are churches and hospitals. I feel like it should be more like the pregnant mothers parking you see at some grocery store, more courtesy than required.
Second, how can you not have the physical strength to walk a few more spaces but then do a good half mile in a grocery store or more in the case of a mall or ikea.
Third, is there any vetting whatsoever on whether or not the handicap impairs the ability to drive? If you are so frail you cannot walk another 50 yards (generous) comfortably, can we trust you in all situations behind the wheel?
All of that being said, the spots would likely go to the d bags that wait for the closest spot for 10 minutes while there is a lot full of empty spaces. It’s not worth the hassle to correct.

and they have no tag. Not sure we’re going to get a lot of honest answers here. My go to line is “I hope someone who needs that spot doesn’t show up” but I wish I were bolder.
I’m not going to ask this board if they say anything but what percentage of people do you think say something? Most people are so nonconfrontational. I am more aware of this then most because my sister is handicapped.
Ehhh, I used to be of a similar mind. Then my Dad got old, bad knee, CHF. COPD, AFib, etc., got the mirror hang tag.
Half the time when he went somewhere he forgot to get the tag (Arkansas law is tag only hangs while parked, not while driving!).
Seeing the old man drag his arse across a parking lot as he felt duty bound to abide the law, or to see him waiting, just kinda hanging half dead looking while dropped off at the door, was sad. The once strong and active fella was plain ol' worn out physically.
If you didn't know him in his young to middle days you'd never know he was a shell of what he was though. Slender and able to put on a decent act of fitness if he knew people were looking. Inside he was in serious pain though.
Gotta take into account people ego's. They may be seriously ill or injured and acting fit in public for their own and the spouse/children/grandkids sake.

Chris why do you constantly tell lies? It’s really sad. I knew you before, during and after college and none of that ever happened.

Props for saying something.. I feel like sometimes it's just not worth saying anything over given you never know what kind of person you may be dealing with. It just may not be worth getting into a confrontation over..

Are these the same fat asses that claim to be handicapped that get to skip the lines at Disneyworld?
F them
