Used to be the only dogs in public places allowed were legit guide dogs for the blind

Just as handicap parking spots used to be for people in a wheelchair. Now EVERYONE has a temporary placard. A completely abused service...

“handicap parking spots used to be for people in a wheelchair”

I never heard that. My doctors insisted that I use handicap spaces for a couple of months after hip replacements. No wheelchair, but crutches and/or cane.

Also, Dad was told to use them when his heart began to fail to a dangerous level.

What annoys me are the fat people using ride-around shopping carts. And when it’s a fat FAMILY it’s super creepy.

My husband has emphysema and is oxygen dependent. He is not in a wheelchair. If he had to walk from the middle of the average parking lot, he would be at risk of passing out. But, hey, just like those huge fatties who use those handicap spaces, he did this to himself, right? And those aren’t “temporary placards”, they’re State issued handicap placards which require a doctor’s order. Have a little compassion
