Re: Do I Need to \"Get A Life\"?????
Gary,
About a year ago I caught one these phonies at the local Walmart. Saw her and her daughter circling the parking lot and it looked like they didn't want to take a spot that would require a small walk. Instead, they pulled their van into the closest handicap spot near the store. I don't usually say anything to these types but since my Dad is unable to walk anymore and he sometimes can't find a spot at the store, I decided to speak out. When the woman and her daughter emerged from the van they looked around and started walking. When they got to the store entrance I confronted her and said, do you have a sticker for that van that permits you to park in the handicap spot. She and her daughter looked at me kinda dumbfounded, ignored me, and then walked to through the entrance to the store. She then stopped dead in her tracks, used a swear word or two, did an about face, and headed back to the van, her daughter following in haste. She jumped into the van and sped out of the spot and out of the parking lot, I guess she ran over to the other department store and tried the same stunt. My best guess was that she probably thought I was going to call the law and she might get a ticket so she had a change of mind.
I have, since that time, not said anything to anyone who parks illegally in those spots, there are just too many folks ignoring the law nowadays. I really think that this behavior is just a sign of the times, a complete disregard for others and putting oneself first.
