I think the percentage is higher, maybe 70%. But then there's the 30% who really need it.
I get so angry when I see an obese lady in very high heel shoes prancing out of the mall and to her car in a handicap spot. She's handicapped alright but probably not physically.
True story. My wife and I flew down to FL last spring. On the way from the airport we stopped at a Wendys which is next door to a Dennys. While eating we notice a man holding a purse approaching a van parked in a Handicapped spot in the Wendy’s parking lot.We figured he would drive the van around to the door of the Wendys and pick up whomever needed it. What happens next even shocked me. Out of the door of the Dennys comes a “Handicapped” female. She walks past full handicapped and open non handicapped spots in the Dennys lot to the Wendys lot next door to get into the van parked in a handicapped spot.
I have called the cops on them. $250 ticket. Two black Escalades full of minority teenagers with Mom and Aunt Esther driving, pulled into two HC spaces at the Golden Corral buffet joint. Tags hanging from the rearview mirrors. I ratted on them. I was using my cane that day, and had to park 10 rows away.
