I went to breakfast this morning at Eat 'N Park in PIttsburgh. When I pulled into the parking lot, the spaces next to the handicapped spots were open so I thought, "Sweet! I"m gonna get a rock star parking spot" but as I pulled in, I noticed a sign posted in this spot that said "Reserved for Those Driving Hybrid Vehicles". I was PISSED! Has anyone else noticed this? Is it a new trend? Am I that out of the loop?
You guys are hilarious! I haven’t laughed this much in awhile!! Thanks for the responses. Seriously, though, I guess this has been happening elsewhere? News to me.....
It's a 'Burgh Thing.ô |

You’d like this. The owner of Yesterday’s Cafe, in Rutledge, GA, drives a Humvee. The best parking space in the lot has a sign that says, “Reserved for Humvee. All others will be crushed.”
They’re good folks, and they just may have the best fried okra in Georgia.
The one thing that really gets under my skin are the perfectly healthy people who abuse the handicapped spaces. They may have a handicapped sticker for their disabled grandmother, and rightfully so, but that does not entitle them to park there is she is not in the car.
I once asked a police officer about this and he told me that technically they are not breaking the law, because they do have the sticker, so therefore he cannot ticket them for abusing it. However he did admit, that ethically and morally they are definitely in the wrong.
I’ll bet CA will be the first to fine folks for this.
I could get a handicapped sticker but I could use the exercise.
Don’t crap pine trees?
Tell them you won’t be eating there any more because you have to save up for a Prius so you can get a good parking space
I have seen these parking spaces and have felt they need to add a few more categories. The help and fitness nuts should also have some revered parking only those should be the furthers away it is good for theirs health you know.
What is a Eat’N park for the unknowing it sound kinda like a restaurant, but would bea Park N’EAT?
