QUOTE: "I rarely saw fit people in handicapped spots. Know what I saw? Hogs whose only handicap was the inability to push themselves away from the table."
____________________
My meaning of 'fit' is able bodied/able to walk a few more steps. (IE: does deaf = handicapped ...in terms of parking, you MUST be kidding)
Example: Occasionally I encounter a man about my age (late 50's) at our local post office. He apparently has little/no use of his legs. Arrives (alone) in a conversion van. Unstraps his seat belt/harness, maneuvers between the front seats to his chair in the back. Side van door opens and lowers and his wheel chairs comes out on a lever system. He wheels off the ramp, closes the door (electrically) and wheels himself into the Post Office. Always smiling, cheerful, pleasant attitude. On leaving, same process in reverse, probably takes 2-3 minutes each way, painful yet sort of elegant (his rehearsed/fluid movements) to watch.
My whole point is; THIS is who Handicapped Parking spots are for! Not some self-absorbed idiot that thinks his/her time is more precious than anyone else's.
