[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 26, have cancer, and have started chemo. As long as I have my hair, you'll assume I'm perfectly healthy. I'm still going to park in the handicap spot though since I can't climb the stairs to my bedroom without sitting down. What the fuck does it matter to you, the able bodied person with no hang tag?[/quote]

I have a young family member with MS (late 20s). She's no longer able to work and got approved for SS her first time through, but you'd never know to look at her unless she was deep into a flare up and able to ambulate properly. She'll use the parking tag and try to go mid week day to avoid the stares, but she'll try and avoid using her walker/wheelchair or using the motorized cart during the day because people glare at her like she's some jerk doing it for attention. So a trip to target for toilet paper wipes her out for a day or so.

Is it so hard to just assume that people are dealing with invisible disabilities, instead of assuming that everyone is cheating the system to park three or four spaces closer and you're the one getting the shaft?
Sheesh, given our obesity rates, is it such a bad idea that most of us able-bodies walk the width of a parking lot.[/quote]
