By the way, "mute" is very outdated and a bit offensive.


Yeah, OP, you might as well call him "dumb" while you're at it.

Since we are on a rant here...WTF people and handicap bathrooms. Am I the only one in the world who gets pissed when there are tons of open bathrooms and people go use the handicaped ones?

Yeah, yeah...you can't judge etc. Save the handicaped bathrooms for people who need them.

You do realize that all voting citizens are in charge of handicapped-parking? We are the ones that drive the legislation that defines the rules and regulations. It's not the doctor, it's not the cop, it's not the dmv, it's you and me. Come out of that closet and start participating in the process!

What fun! I think I'll start pulling drivers over if I think they're speeding, too. And I'm going to ask all of the parents at my child's school if they really live at the address they gave the school district. After all, I vote.

I think the main point is need versus convenience. If you use a strict definition of need, "something that a person must have", then handicap parking is far from a luxury. However, if your definition of need is, "something that makes life easier", than handicap parking leans toward a perk.

I had a friend with cystic fibrosis who didn't always use her oxygen tank, but was still very ill and had trouble walking long distances - hence the handicap pass. She only used the pass when she really needed it - on days when she felt very short of breath. She was often confronted in parking lots. Made me so sad. She died at 36.

So your in the hollered/glared at group. Only makes sense you would want to keep things quiet and maintain your privilege.


Gosh, I sure wish that I had a disability too, so that I could live it up in the handicapped parking spots.

Yes, and quite a privilege it is too. You have no idea how good life is in the "blue spots." Catered dining, air conditioning, curbside check-in, nude parties, all-night orgies. And YOU are excluded.


Plus, we talk about you. And it's all malicious.


My dad doesn't fit into either of these groups. Does that make him a unicorn?
