Handicap permits

[Unassuming Local Guy]

Has anyone else noticed that like 90% of the time you see someone with one of those blue handicap things on their rear view mirror, they're just a lazy entitled sack of shit and not someone with a legitimate handicap? They're often really aggressive, unsafe drivers too. What's the deal with that? Do they just give those things out to anyone who bitches loudly enough in the DMV?

You can just print out fake ones who's gonna check it?

I fucking do. I'm one of those people that if I see someone taking a handicap site and their tags don't look right, or forged, or not have one at all. I have to take care of my wife who is wheel chair bound. If you going to be that much of an ignorant asshole then I'll just do what I have to do.

What generally happens if some black fat woman.... you know the type... the ones who asses devour the wally world's handicap seat on their electric vehicles... well she will give it to one of the dozens of family members to use.

Though I've seen some fucking rich dude do the same thing.

The entitlement of the rich or the poor. When it comes to handicap parking they do the same damned thing.

I can understand the sentiment; however, there are disabilities that aren't noticeable to most people. I speak as someone who has a heart, lung (not just asthma), and hip issue, so a far distance walk can put a strain on me at times, especially since my hip is so jacked up that it needs replacing down the road. I actually had a guy chew my mom and me out when I left the doctor's office at one point, and his reason was that he didn't see me limping (I actually do have a limp, and if you pay close attention, I walk on my toes on one side). If I can help it, I try not to park in one.

With that said, if you don't have a permit and you park in one? You're a fucking asshole.

I feel it, below knee amputee and I'm pretty fit so if I'm wearing pants I absolutely don't look like I need the spot. Usually I'll do some semi-dramatic limp getting out so some old fucker doesn't key my car.
Never had anyone confront me about it but I'm almost wishing it does so I can lift my pant leg up and hit em' with that dead eye.

have you guys considered to stop being cripples?

Most people you see with handicapped stickers are not actually the handicapped people in question. They're either a relative (kid, husband, etc.) or a designated driver with consent to use the handicapped person's vehicle. ...and, honestly, I'm ok with that. It's cool of them to run errands for the disabled. I'd much rather have them behind the wheel than the actual disabled people.

Yeah but if you're out running errands for grandma you really shouldn't be using a handicapped spot if crippled grandma isn't with you. They're handicapped not you.

I disagree. If they're doing it on behalf of the cripple, then it's fine. Grandma would be using that spot anyway. On the other hand, if he's just abusing that handicap tag, he should be bitchslapped for acting like a dindu.
