Reply #47: Parking

[PoconoPragmatist]

Now...having watched my dad struggle with nerve damage the last five years of his life, the result of a near-fatal head-on car crash that nearly required the Jaws of Life...I, too, get annoyed, and even might say something...when people who apparently do not deserve handicapped spots park in them...because, as I said, I watched my dad, truly handicapped, struggle sometimes, when he could not get a handicapped spot.

However...at the point at which this guy would have shown me his wounds, I would have profusely apologized, and thanked him for his service. Although, according to the telling of the story, the guy was limping and dragging his left leg in the first place, so that is an example where I'd not have said a word, because he obviously DID appear disabled. Maybe no bone was showing, and maybe he wasn't in a wheelchair, but he obviously needed and deserved the spot.
