Kinda makes you wanna do a pit maneuver on them dont it???

I had to settle for giving them the "Pittsburgh Salute" instead But considering I was in a rich yuppie area (Upper St. Clair), it doesn't really surprise me.

My best friend went blind at 19. You wouldn't believe the nastiness we'd get because we were able bodied 20 somethings.

I have a coworker who has handicapped tags because of her disabled elderly father. That's also the reason she's on FMLA.

Problem is, she parks in the handicapped spots at work, and obviously she doesn't take her dad to work with her.

My mother had congestive heart failure and only 17% use of her heart. She hated using tags because of the stigma attached, but it truly winded her walking even small distances. She was otherwise a very active and bubbly lady, so you'd never know it looking at her. Even so, I find myself being judgemental when I see a seemingly able-bodied person parking in a handicapped stall. I have to remind myself that I don't know the whole story. As for people who park there without a placard, I guess you deserve getting grief for it. Those stalls are reserved for a reason.

That is very sucky of her. It can also be a ticketable offense since the tags are not for her use.
