AND the Handicapped parking. I absolutely despise the healthy people who park there, with or without Grandpa's parking pass hung on the mirror. And then they get out and trot to the store. When I get angry they merely shrug and say that it was the only close parking space there!! I've pushed my late DH's wheelchair half a block in pounding rain to get to a doctor's office, and in the sun and wind when he wanted to go to a special store, while younger healthy people parked near by in
the handicapped parking spaces.
Once when I was chewing a young man out a meter reader came along and asked if it was HIS parking pass. And he got an expensive ticket while several older people and I stood and almost cheered. I think the ticket at that time was about $170 or so, YEAH!!
I agree, I have my own handicap hangtag, but if it is one of my good days, I park in regular parking, so that someone worse off than me can have the space. I have seen some that violate the parking, and been told to F%$# O^% by someone in his 20's that just pulled in to run in for a minute. I nearly called the police that day, just to have the pleasure of seeing him get a ticket. Instead, I took the 3 shopping carts that were inbetweed our spots and lined them all up along the drivers side of his sports car. :twisted:
