Handicapped Parking

A neighbor of mine used a reserved spot at the grocery store and when someone confronted him, he told her, "Shit happens," and drove away. His mother was thrilled to read about this in the next day's newspaper, for which the woman was a reporter. :lol:

I had a friend in Alaska that had a handicap plate because he had a "bad back". He was a real nazi too, if he saw a vehicle in a handicap spot without a plate or placard he'd call it in. One day we went moose hunting and bagged one. As we were dragging it back to his truck I told him that it's going to look funny, him hauling this moose back to his and throwing it into the back of a vehicle with a handicap plate. He got pissed.

My pet peeve is assholes who leave their grocery carts in empty handicapped parking spots instead of walking it back or leaving it in the row provided for that purpose. As if the person actually needing the space had the ability to unscramble a mess of carts left in the spot preventing the door from opening. :pissed:

OK, so normally I am virulent about HCP spaces being used only by the HCP. But Hearcel Craig, a Columbus City Councilman, was excoriated for using a HCP space that was established for his now-dead mother's use in front of her own house. Craig now lives in that house, which is in a rough near-south-side neighborhood.

Craig publicly apologizes for "abusing" handicap parking permit

Craig, 62, spoke after Melissa Day, who uses a wheelchair, addressed the council tonight and asked for an apology.

“I was surprised that you did not choose to publicly apologize to the disabled,” Day said during her three-minute comment period.

Ms. Day, did you desire to park in this space so that you could visit the Craig family? No? Then why are you owed an apology, bitch?

Since the original purpose for the HCP space is no longer in play, I'm baffled by why anyone cares that Craig was using the space. It's an absurd situation. "Abusing" the HCP parking rule? I don't think so. Remove the sign and get on with life.
