I am disabled and have special needs for a parking space that allows me to use my wheelchair ramp. I get sick and tired of seeing totally capable people park in these spaces and just get out of their car and walk into the store. What has happened to the real intent of these spaces? It seems as though if you get a blister, you can acquire a handicap parking permit. It is time for government to crack down on this abuse. Why is it if you have diabetes, or a heart condition, or any other ailment that does not prevent you from exiting your vehicle to park and walk in a store? Funny thing is; follow these people into the store and you'll see them walk a mile once in the store. Shame on all you abusers of the handicap parking permits. It's time for all of us who really need the permits to ban together and get reforms put in place to stop this abuse. This is not directed to the people who really need the spaces. Just the abusers.

If you saw me park in my handicapped spot, you'd think "there goes another healthy guy on two legs," except I only have one leg, and sometimes a lot of shopping can make it difficult for me to keep going.
Don't get me started on that gut who uses the handicapped spot with no permit at Starbucks every day. "

It's you people who 'disabled" is talking about. Those spaces were intended for people who need special assistance to exit their vehicle to be able to even enter the stores. Not because you have some ailment or other condition. If you can walk on two legs, you are not handicapped in my opinion, needing these spaces. "

I've seen people do this and when I see them getting out of their cars I look at their license plates and look to see if there are any handicap indicators on their vehicles. If I don't see any I stop and give them a long hard stare! It's sad but there are plenty of arrogant people who think they are entitled to these spaces! It's the entitlement syndrome that permeates our society! "
