I know people on chemotherapy. I haven’t seen a one for whom “walking is another issue” hobbling out of their SUV in the handicap space.

I’m not saying there aren’t cases like yours. I’m just saying I don’t see any of them.

I observe people who park in handicap spaces all the time. I’m sure there are some rare cases I’ve missed. I’m just saying that most - if not all - of those I’ve seen are just as healthy as I am, and no more need a handicap space than I do.

What does the fact that you’ve got a legitimate excuse do to undermine my observation? If you’ve got a legitimate reason to use a handicap space, great. My hat’s off to you, and I’m glad you can take advantage of them.

But you’re not really going to argue that just because you actually need a handicap space, there aren’t a lot of people who get them who don’t actually need them, are you?

Why should my observation cause offense to you?

And you not knowing what on earth their problem could be doesn't mean that they don't need one. Of course their are those who are using their mom or dad's placard. But whether you see or not, the handicap could surely be there.
Let me explain one thing. My first chemo made me very wobbly, I couldn't walk without holding on to someone or some thing. This chemo though, I'm not as wobbly, but am usually extremely fatigued. You just don't know how it is.
ok, enough said. I'm done.
