My pet peeve is people parking in handicap parking "because it's close" or "the only parking spot left" that's not a half block walk. The only reason I'm able to walk is heavy medication. Had my first surgery at 9 and was in a body cast. Hip replacement at 20 and have to wait for the other one to get bad enough to where I can't walk on it to replace. Long distances can be difficult for me. Especially when I was in school and had 40 pound backpack. Even then I try to be respectful of others and not park in van accessible spaces.
If course I've been on the other end too. People look at me and think I'm borrowing grandmas placard (actually had someone say that to me) I'm able to do my job cause I can set my own pace and have come up with ways to compensate for what I can't do.
I feel that being made the way I was has given me a unique way to look at things and to find solutions other people never would have thought of cause that's what I've been doing all my life.

my mom is handicap enough to have a parking pass....she always insists I use it when I go to the store with her and I always drop her off in front of the store and park in a normal spot. I always tell her I am lucky enough to be in good health and would not take a spot that someone who may really need it would not have access to if I used my mothers pass. I am also sure that is illegal but its morally wrong in my book.

After sampling over 150 different juices from various vendors only two have been unvapeable to me (and the vast majority of others are not something I would reorder). Anyway, one of those was MBV butterscotch. I tested it two weeks after I got it and I thought it was horrid. So I stuck it way back on a shelf. Tried it a month later and it was still awful. So today, three months after I got it I tried it again and it's really quite good. Another example of how much a liquid can change over time. I also really like their graham cracker, hazelnut and butter pecan.

I have actually only parked (or been parked, technically, since I don't drive) in the closest handicapped parking space five times in my life. The reason I can count them is because every time, it was the doctor's office, and I was there because I couldn't breathe. Otherwise, I take the furthest handicapped space, because there's always someone out there who needs a closer one than I do. If it's a particularly good day pain wise, I won't take a handicapped space at all.

I have a personal rule never to glare at someone who looks ablebodied but takes a handicapped space, because many of my friends have "invisible" disabilities (cystic fibrosis, heart problems, etc) that cause them to need a handicapped space even *more* than I do... benefit of the doubt is my general operational mode there. However, when I see someone park in a handicapped space and *sprint* into the building? Hie thee to the back of the lot, ! Seriously, the point of those spaces is to make it a little easier on those who can't *walk* far, for whatever reason. If you can *sprint*, I don't care what disability you may or may not have, clear the way!

I had an argument about this with a single amputee friend of mine once. He maintained that his permit wasn't gained under false pretenses, ergo he was entitled to use it. My reply? "Dude, I've seen you run a 4 1/2 minute mile. Unless you *forget your prosthesis*, step off!"

I was staying with some friends near Orlando quite a few years ago, and we picked up some friends of the people I was staying with. The guy driving was the guy I've mentioned before who's known me since we were 12-13, so we got to the restaurant and he just automatically pulled up in the last available handicapped space and tossed my permit on the dash. I didn't think anything of it, cause we've done this a million times... then from the back seat, one of the friend of a friend's pipes up:

"Um, I don't think we can park here."

G looked at me with an expression that said "Oh, please, can I have some fun? Please, please, please?"

Being a good sport, I nodded, and he said, "Oh? Why not?"

"These are for.... you know."

G assumed a blank look. "I don't know what you mean, man."

"Are you stupid? These are for handicapped people."

"Ohhhh, that... yeah. I'll move the car. Wait, one sec."

Whereupon, of course, he casually unloaded my chair from the trunk.

"Hey, look what I found! I think we're good now."

The friend of a friend was *aghast* now. "You're sick! You drive around with a wheelchair just for the parking? Oh my God!" Turning to me, "Did you know he did this?"

Me, straightfaced: "Actually, I asked him to."

Friend of friend: What kind of people are you?!"

Me: (slowly doing a pivot transfer)

(crickets)

Me: Well... we're smarta**es...

Sometimes it's just fish in a barrel, what can I say.
