You can't see that?

I never, ever park in a handicapped spot. I don't need the spot so why should I take it away from someone who really needs it? I do think, however, that handicapped spots are abused by a lot of people that are just too lazy to walk a few extra feet. I hope I never become that way.

Hi, Macdingolinger, don't get angry. The problems are endless and you should save your strength to fight them. I'm reading this discussion and I'm trying to remember where is the nearest handicap parking spot around my place. And I can't. I live in the centre of a big city, we have huge problems with the parking spots and in fact the authorities don't care about the people with disabilities. I can't help you, I can only wish you to have more strength. Don't give up.

It's too bad that no police were around to give him a ticket.

You are right to get upset.Dob them in.My friend has a disabled son who has many problems one of them is epilesy he could go down at any time and there is no cure for his condition it can only be treated.My friend is always having trouble trying to find a spot.When she does she normally gets abused by passing cars as his appearance does not show his disability.If you like he looks normal for want of a better word.She puts out her badge.and tries very hard to continue with her difficult life.Her son is 20 tomorrow and she has had to drag him in the car ,she has even given herself an hernia treated with surgery.He is also autistic and diabetic ,I really feel for you.Take carexx

Thank you. I have a disability. I have Cerebral Palsy and am in a wheelchair. It is so bothersome when people park in handicapped spots who don't belong in them.

There is this sort of people who show not much care on others. You meet one and you are amazed.If I were you, I would try my best to convince him that I have to park my car here because my son is handcapped. If he insists, I will move. I believe that God will laugh at him. So, don't worry. He will leave tonight.That's the luck.

Personally here in the State of WA you can call and report them and they would get a warning or a ticket. Usually the ticket is over $100 and they are not leniant with you at all. I have seen people get ticketed where I used to work for parking there, even if it was for just a short time. So personally I would have made a Big complaint against them if it would have been me.

I know exactly how you feel! I hope he learned his lesson, but probably not.

I totally understand. I use to work in the mental health field and several of our clients were physically handicapped as well. It would make me so mad to see people abusing handicapped parking spaces when they were perfectly fine to walk..... I am glad you parked behind this person! It is beyond irking for me!

HaHa! I like the interest that you have placed this one in! Yep, that is annoying for sure. I never park in disabled spots, that is just wrong and shows total disrespect for the community to do so. Good idea to block them in so that you can educate them on how to be a morally upstanding citizen.

Hello macdingolinger Yes, I find this sort of thing irksome. What kind of emergency do you fear that would be different for someone else who also had an emergency?

hi macdingolinger, irk is a word that the psychoartist really finds irksome...i think it may stems from childhood trauma...anyhow, on to your irking...i can understand why you felt irked in this situation and probably quite a lot of situations as you seem to have a lot of stress to deal with...that person who parked there may have irksome situations as well...live and let live...
