I once saw a car with handicap sticker/license plate pull up. All the handicap spots were already taken. So, she pulled in between two cars in the stripped off area. She barely had room to get out of the car and go into the store. Curious as to how this would play out I waited wondering who would come out first. As it turned out, she did. I always wondered what would have happened if one of the other two drivers would have come out first.
Not all disabilities are visible. I know there’s always some jerks abusing the system, but don’t assume that just because someone looks like they don’t need the spot, that they’re faking it. I knew someone who could only walk short distances before becoming too tired and needed the motorized cart. He looked fine otherwise. Saw some Karen heckle him at the grocery store, but he was a regular there and the employees knew his situation.
When the ADA was first legislated, I actually heard someone say "Why do we need all those “disabled” parking spots? Those people don’t go anywhere anyway." Wrong on so many levels: they’re “accessible” parking spots, and “those” people? Egads.
After my hip surgery, I qualified for a temporary handicapped parking tag, good for 6 months. I used it maybe 3-4 times in the first couple of weeks — and really appreciated it then — but retired it thereafter, leaving the spaces for the people who really needed them.
My wife had needed the temporary tag, also. I had to take to and from work. I only used the handicapped parking spaces when she was with me. We never bothered with getting a tag, when I was on a knew scooter after my foot surgery
I don’t know if I just didn’t understand something, or what I could have done, but I had an experience with handicapped parking. We took my wife’s great-aunt (who was wheelchair-bound) out to a local casino. I asked her rest home if they had anything like a temporary handicapped placard I could use for parking, since the extra space was definitely needed for handling the wheelchair business and I didn’t want to park a mile away, but no one seemed to know anything about that. I went ahead and parked in a handicapped spot anyway and had no problems, figuring I’d try to fight it if I got ticketed. So what could I have done differently? Is using such a spot only allowed if it’s the driver who needs it? I’ve never checked into the details of any laws about this.

I see a few like that. My Mom needed those handicapped spaces, so I’m more aware of it than some.

I’ve never used or touched Legos – It took me 3 read-throughs to figure out the joke.
