It’s also laziness and the idea of entitlement. The same goes for fire lanes; people park in them to run in and get a pizza or pick up dry cleaning.
I always call the police and fire marshal on them and give thier license plate numbers.
Once I saw an idiot park in a fire lane and an actual fire broke out and the fire truck guys just rammed his car and cops arrested him! I was laughing so hard.
I have a messed up ankle from a car accident and my walking is limited (mostly by distance and time) and I was told I could qualify for a handicap sticker.
Thank you, but no I said.
