thank God, am not handicapped
Chemotherapy? That’s mine. I can sit just fine. I can drive fine. But walking is another issue. I don’t have the energy to walk around. Except for the fact that I’m bald though, you wouldn’t know.
Kidney disease. I’m not going to sit here and spoon feed you possible scenarios though.
Carry one of these in your pocket. If you just loosen the tire core valve a bit the tire leaks and deflates with no permanent damage to the tire or so I am told. In the words of Dear Leader “If you like your illegal parking space you can keep your illegal parking space for a long time at least till a tow truck or the police arrive, which ever comes first.

I was LOL at your post. thanks!
I know people on chemotherapy. I haven’t seen a one for whom “walking is another issue” hobbling out of their SUV in the handicap space.
I’m not saying there aren’t cases like yours. I’m just saying I don’t see any of them.
I observe people who park in handicap spaces all the time. I’m sure there are some rare cases I’ve missed. I’m just saying that most - if not all - of those I’ve seen are just as healthy as I am, and no more need a handicap space than I do.
What does the fact that you’ve got a legitimate excuse do to undermine my observation? If you’ve got a legitimate reason to use a handicap space, great. My hat’s off to you, and I’m glad you can take advantage of them.
But you’re not really going to argue that just because you actually need a handicap space, there aren’t a lot of people who get them who don’t actually need them, are you?
Why should my observation cause offense to you?
Then you don't need the handicap spot, either. Be decent and take a regular spot.
Lucky for me, it’s not up to you, jerk.
Ha ha—not a bad idea: special parking spaces for the portly—at the back of parking lots.
I’m very sorry for you. I wish others didn’t abuse the privilege you rightfully enjoy.
He was sorry, that he got caught.
BINGO!
I have degenerative disc disease and have trouble walking any distance. I get out and walk into the store just fine. It’s when I come out that my leg is dragging and I am hurting from walking around the store. I refuse to use their electric carts.
Me too. thank you
You know I pulled into a store parking lot just a half hour ago and some young man had just pulled into the last handicapped space. Now there were open spaces all over. But he hopped out of his souped up Mustang and ran into the store, nervously looking back over and over at his car. So I called the police. He came out and said “they’re not going to do anything when I move my car” and I said “at least you’ll move your car” and he did. And I thought of you, Steely Tom! haha. And you know what else? He APOLOGIZED as we were waited on and I left. And I told him that I hoped he’d never HAVE to use a handicapped space, because it was hell. I appreciate that he apologized.
Sounds like basically a nice young man. He’ll probably go places in life.
So unusual for people to apologize for anything these days. Obama has taught them to “double down” (which is really a variation on Joseph Goebbels “big lie” concept, when you think about it).
