C'mon, guys. All handicaps aren't immediately visible. Mental & neurological symptoms aren't always right out there.

We all know about the mentals, don't we??? Do you really want us roaming the parking lots?

You raise a good point and honestly one I don't typically think of when I see that.

The guy at the store yesterday didn't even have a card or sticker, he was just an ass that didn't want to get wet in the rain.

I'm a little over-sensative to the issue because I had an uncle who barely needed a handicap card and he'd pass it around to the family like a party favor.  I remember one year when we were going to the State Fair he tried to get my Dad to use his card so we could get a primo parking spot (my uncle wasn't coming with us) and my Dad really let him have it.  Something along the lines of "yeah, I'll make some legitimately handicapped person fight for a spot and possible have to walk or wheel from 10 blocks away so I can get a spot on the fair grounds, you a**!"

Kind of stuck with me

Hey, I understand, sir.

My husband won't park in the handicapped spot even though he knows I need to be close. I practically have to box his ears every time we go somewhere together. I don't think he considers me "legitimately" handicapped because I have all my extremities intact.

He's right because I'm mostly okay...unless it's too hot or too cold or too windy or too rainy or too clouded or too bright or too dark or too snowy or too sleety, etc, etc.. Unfortunately that's what? About 1 day a year???
