Seems to me, Eilean doesn’t have a leg to stand on...

Oh, there's a bunch of those!

What do you call a woman with a wooden leg? - Peg

What do you call a woman missing a leg? - Eilean

What do you call a woman with no legs? - Stumpy

I’m not suggesting anything here, but if the air somehow is gone from two tires, they might have 1 spare but wont have 2 spares.

Ok something doesn't jibe here... first I'm an amputee since 14.. but I'm arm so I do not use handicap parking and do not have the tags..I view that for people with walking issues....

But everybody and their brother seem to have handicap parking and most seem to not have any kind of walking issues... in fact it also seems to always be very expensive cars in the handicap spots..really surprised how the handicapped all seem to be so rich.

i just don't find the true handicap having a problem getting the parking.. .its more non handicapped getting the tags that seem to be the issue

When younger I had my share of jerks doing things that drove me to revenge. Like the time a huge 4-wheeler truck parked in a spot next to my car that I couldn’t open the doors. Luckily I was able to crawl in through a window. I let the air out of all his tires, and superglued the air nozzles to prevent refilling.

My wife is crippled by arthritis, whenever I see a low life park in the HC space, I wait until they walk away then just slip my Kershaw blade into their front tire. I always check for an HC plate, placard or sticker, if they don't have it they can either pay somebody to change their tire or do it themselves. Yeah I know, I'm an A$$HOLE,f#ck'em.

Sounds a tad extreme.

But when the dark times come I hope you'll remember I touched base with you.

I'd join your squad pronto.

I like women with no legs.

They can never really get very far and I usually catch them.

Yeah, I noticed that on the sign just now; It says $250 MINIMUM. Have no idea what would cause it to increase, unless it’s parking in the same spot more than once, or parking there overnight, or leaving the car there for several days in a row.

I don’t follow. Half the replies here call for vandalizing cars and you think there is something wrong with me?

They do have temporary tags to hang from the windshield where I live. I had my doctor fill it out and I mailed it in about a week ago. I asked for a 90 day and she filled it in as six months instead. I had two back surgeries in less than a two week period thanks to a staph infection. I’m walking better now, but I can’t get very far, I actually requested it so my daughter or wife could park closer to the hospital when they take me to appointments.

I suspect I’ll probably be mostly healed or at least look mostly ok by the time I get the placard. That won’t change the fact that I’m still considered disabled for awhile. Looking healthy walking 20 feet isn’t anything like looking healthy walking 200 feet. Last time I tried walking with a walker to the office door I ended up having a wheelchair brought out to me because the nurse thought I was going to fall down. I froze up because I had no energy and the pain was overwhelming.

My main point is that it’s not always an obvious injury. Nobody would probably know what was wrong with me unless I had my shirt off to see all the scars from surgery. Hard to believe just a month ago they told me I might die or be paralyzed because of the infection. Scary words you don’t ever want to hear from a doctor.

Tad extreme? Normally I might agree with you, but when I see a twenty or thirty something bounce out of their car and diddy-bop into the market or hair cutting shop I have a tendency to lose a little bit of self control.
Been carrying a walker, canes and a fold up wheel chair for a very long time and occasionally the patience wears a little thin.
Welcome aboard; remember, always be professional, always be polite, always have a PLAN.

Well, if the woman with one leg has a wooden leg then you call her Peg.
If she has one leg but no wooden leg then she’s called Eileen, and she works at IHOP, easiest place to tip your waitress.
Asian woman with one leg - Irene.

The names for men are worse!
