I would postpone getting one of those as long as possible. The next step down is 6 feet.

Yep, my wording was a bit off there. "As the child of someone who had a disability" would have been the accurate way to start that sentence.

Being fat, black and unemployed shouldn’t qualify you for a handicap tag

I am perfectly healthy, but sometimes I like to park in a handicapped spot for just long enough to go and take a shite in that big, spacious handicapped stall. That is just how I roll...

I am a full proponent of our handicapped tag system having a weight limit.

If you got your tag because you are 4'10" and 400 lbs. and thus have bad knees and ankles, I dont feel bad for you.

Hell I think a lot of things in our society could benefit from weight limits. Handicap spots, yoga pants, bathing suits, etc.

I am just grateful I have the physical stamina to park anywhere I want and make it to and from the store entrance.

If other people are mentally or physically disabled or just gaming the system it does not really have an impact on my life.

I don’t give a shite where people park. I did have an old geezer at the post office one day tell me I was in the handicap. I was in the post office like 35 secs to check my PO box

I'll either make a passive aggressive comment or just not say anything.

You don't know that person, and you don't know what condition he/she might have. Some disabilities aren't readily apparent from the outside. I'd rather not give shite to someone who deserves it than to give shite to someone who doesn't. I find myself judging people like this sometimes, but then I remember that I really don't know shite.

It’s my business Bc my daughter is in a wheelchair and I need the ramp space. A while back I keyed a car Bc it was double parked in a HC space and didn’t even have a tag. I waited for the owner but couldn’t find him or her. And it felt good to do it.

Anxiety gets you a companion animal not a mobility impairment sufficient for a plate or a hang tag.

frick these people. Even when I had just learned to walk again and walking was an extreme pain, I didn’t park in the handicap space because I was worried there might be someone worse off than me who couldn’t handle pain that a man in his mid 20: could handle

I have a broken leg and ankle and have a temporary handicap tag. Before this, I never really paid attention but people are ALWAYS parking in the damn spot. I called some trashy white people out at the DMV the other day. They rolled the window up and ignores me while I shook my crutch at them.

Only person I said something to didn't verbally respond.

Then, I noticed he had only one arm.

1 out of five people have a disability. It wasn’t until about 10 years ago that I had to get some special training in accessibility that I really started to understand some of the hidden disabilities. Do people take advantage of the tags, sure they do. But not everyone that appears able-bodied is. It’s enough for me just to realize how fortunate I am.

Now parking in the fire lane...that’s a different story.
