“...everyone but YOU, ...” (off topic)
That’s how I feel EVERY TIME I got to a parking lot and TRY to park as close to the door as possible.
There is a RESERVED parking spot for just about everyone but ME!
Handicapped (you know, all those EMPTY spaces closest to the doors).
Police (nice, but I’m NICE) (always empty)
Employee of the month (Just give them $50 bucks!) (usually empty)
Veterans (I’m a vet, but I was in the reserves during Vietnam, so I won’t park there so REAL vets can) (always empty)
I don’t begrudge any of the people who DESERVE to use these spaces, but they mostly go UNUSED or used by people who don’t deserve to.
My father (may he continue to BURN IN HELL), had one. He had had both hips replaced (twenty years apart). That was his excuse to get one (handicapped permit) and he was a Democrat. He walked just FINE!
Solution:
Make every OTHER good spot a handicapped spot. As we can all see, that would be MORE THAN ENOUGH!
Do away with all other “ENTITLED” parking spaces. We ALL are entitled in one way or another.
Maybe they should create spaces for “All Other Entitled”.
You know, like all those lists to pick from and the last one is “Other”. /s
Just TRY to find an empty Handi-capped spot in Arizona after 10:00AM.......ANY DAY. I go to the grocery when I need to, but always before 10AM. One knee replaced and need another, plus severe arthritis. Not complaining at you, but some states give out the disabled placard simply for passing your 65th birthday.
