Way too many handicap parking spaces in the parking lots.

CHOPTALK · Oct 21, 2007

If you are handicap, dont mean this to be offensive but there are way too many handicap parking spaces in the parking lots.

Im sick and tired of having to walk 5 fricken football fields just to get to the store only to find 25 damm empty slots in the front of the store painted blue handicap.

I mean jeez!!

Tonight was the final straw.

I went to a very busy night club tonight with a very bad parking situation. The parking was so bad that the lot was full and you had to park a full 1/4mile away from the club at another business parking lot down the street.

This nightclub consist mostly of people between the ages of 21 to 40.
I have been to this night club about 10 times in my life. In all the times I have been there, and any other night club, I dont recall seeing people in a wheelchair on the dance floor. Took me 20mins to get inside the club from where I parked but they had 15 empty handicap spots with no cars in them.

Why is that?
Did the law makers think that 25% of the population is handicaped or something?

Im sure they have some kind of law that requires these business owners to have a certain % of the spaces for people that are handicaped.

Whatever that % is, its too high.

Have you ever gone to the mall and seen every handicap spot full?
I havent.

Its just overkill.hola

Just be glad you don't need one. I've seen them full, and it is the morons who don't need one who park there.

one of the problems is doctors will write prescriptions (or whatever they call it) for many of there unneedy pacients to have one. i know of a few people who got them from there doctor for sore shoulders, hang nail etc. doctors handing these things out like candy. creates more of a need for unnecessary handicap spots. and then these people also then take up a spot for some who truly needs that spot.

What pisses me off is when somebody has a handicap person living with them gets a sticker and then uses for themselves even though the handicap person isnt with them.

Right on, this happens all the time.

Im not making fun of the handicap people by any means.

I feel that the people that have trouble walking should be able to park in the front.

But way too many of these people walk fine with no need for a free pass to the front of the line.

WTF guys.

Arent you all like 20 and 30 year old guys.

Regardless of its disabled many more people should park closer to the store you lazy assholes.

Old people,pregnant women,whalewager, people with kids,injured people,etc

Just park further away out of courtesy for all these people you monkeys.

Yup same here... What do you drive and where in Illinois are you at?

ProPokerPlayer · Oct 21, 2007

doesnt matter if u got a sticker or not here, police wont write a ticket for it since its on private property so just like the walkway to the front door all the handicap spots here are full with 88 buick deuce and a quarters.........o and they must be parked sideways...some kind of culture thing i think where your not allowed to park between lines only across them

WVU · Oct 21, 2007

and that nice assed golden bathroom stall complete with its own sink always sits empty... Life is good for those who can't walk

:think2:

Everybody in CT has a handicap permit, I have two of them, and they are good forever ( lifetime). One belonged to my mother, one for me when I was on crutches with a broken ankle.

Any doctor can give you a form letter to get one here, no review or anything. I think they stopped the lifetime ones automatically being issued. The spots are rarely empty in CT !

Use to have to go downtown a lot. I believe every negro in Dallas has a handicapped sticker.

Up until a couple of months ago I was the live-in caregiver for my grandparents; my grandmother in a wheelchair now. I drove her around quite a bit, so decided to get handicapped parking plates.

For all of those times I had to drive grandma somewhere and there were no handicapped spots left, and would see non-handicapped license plates in those spots ... or those idiots like you mention who park in those spots despite not being handicapped themselves ...

Drove me completely crazy.

I agree that there are too many spots in places where they aren't needed, but also implore people to not park in them if they don't have to. The extra few feet you get on each side of the car is the difference between dropping a handicapped person off at the curb, or getting them out of the car normally. I can't tell you how many times I had to leave my grandmother in the lobby of a building because there were no handicapped spots, and I'd have to park elsewhere. You can't get a wheelchaired person out of a car in a regular spot.
