I hate it when...

If someone doesnt like or have issue with having placard, dont apply for one when you get a broken leg or your leg amputated.

Simple .......




Dont get it.

Sound like being left handed

I've read some statistics that it can create challenges to your mortality.

I know a church elder who is in 70s and have a place card.
He has a crohn's and on heavy dosage of biologics.
On a good day, he can probably outrun me
On a bad day, he is on wheel chair and cannot even eat any solid food for days.

For ignorant people, they will get mad that "normal" guy has a placard by seeing him on a good days.

We will talk if person with anti-placecard have severe lupus/hashimoto/kawasaki/sarcoidosis which your immune system is attacking your body and have to walk 700 yards to ER for rest of your life.

Well on his good days maybe he should just leave the handicapped spaces open for people who don?t have good days and park with the rest of the sheep in the normal spaces.

I don?t recall any regulation stating if you have the placard you have to use the space.

How do you like them apples?

[MrPrena]

There is only 2 spots and have 3 place card holder there.
So yes. He parks one next to it when he feels better.

Sadly some has to park further and save few regular spots for place card holder which is not a handicap parking

Which some would not understand why their church members yield closer non HC parking spot to people who carry O2 tank or have wheel chairs etc.

The whole parking wars thing is lost on me in the first place. I see people circling lots and going up and down isles and waiting for people to leave to get a spot and all I can do is marvel at just how fucking lazy people can be that walking a little is just beneath them.

I pull in, find a wide open space somewhere out in the back usually, and walk into to the store. I do it intentionally not because I worry about scratches on my precious vehicle but because a little exercise every once in a while is good for you. At my age I?ll typically take any exercise I can get.

I know this thread started because there are very small % of people who doesnt need a place card has one and abuse it.

Before we go there, I would rather talk about turds who park at hc parking without place card and block wheel chair access van.

Dept of motors are very strict on physicians signing those paperwork, and the county clerk calls or follows up on it.

I know because I applied for several times before and after my tkr.

Yep. My dad has Corticobasal Degeneration. It's an insidious killer. He has to get around with a scooter and my mom drives him in their mobility van with a ramp. If someone blocks access, it's not like he can just levitate into or out of the van.

If anybody thinks that getting HC parking is some kind of 'perk', they probably don't understand what people have lost or given to get it.

Most common sense thing posted in this thread yet. Including my garbage. Well done.

Chronic pain customer here with HC placard. Yes, I can walk, not super and it gets worse the more I do. Usually better to park HC so I'm closer after long trips around places like Wal-Mart.

I look like one who doesn't need it, but do. The doctor signed my application as permanent back in 2012. Sucks. I usually can find a spot non HC and it's just as close as HC spots.

The city of Lakewood is actively writing tickets for HC violations, I forgot to hang my tag once and was nailed. They have retired cops out patrolling.
