s/o disdabled parking.

Mil does this and dh agrees with me somewhat.

she has a handicap sticker, I can't remember if hers is perm/plate or not. When she goes to the store, grocery/mall/Target, wherever, she parks a handicap spot, no biggie right? Except that she does NOT go into the store. She sends someone else in while she sits in the running car and waits for the person to finish.  I don't think she should park there, yes she is entitled but, she is not leaving the vehicle, just taking up spots for other people who need it. Your take?

wtf!  that's ridiculous.

If she's sending someone in, she can drop them off at the door and park and wait somewhere else.

She should not be in that spot.

I agree with you, as long as the person she's sending into the store isn't disabled, she shouldn't park there.

um, no. 

I'd be tempted to pull a "Tawanda" on her "I'm older and I have more insurance" and run into the car 17 times.  ;-)

kelly&paul

that's what I say. Yes she has the sticker, yes she can park there, but she just sits there. stupid. dh saw her one day and told her she needed to move and she went off on him. So now although he agrees with me, has decided to keep his mouth shut!

No, she shouldn't park in the handicap spot. But if there are other open handicap spots, I wouldn't get on her about it. If she's taking the last spot, I would.

That's illegal in the state of CA. The person who was issued the placard should be using it. She's not entitled to it if she's not getting out of the car.

LMAO!

I see this all the time.  Why can't she just drop the person off at the door and drive around if they are that lazy?

I think it depends on the passenger.  My grandfather used to do this.  If I was his passenger it would not be necessary, but for the most part my grandmom was his passenger.  He was a disabled veteran, and she never learned how to drive.  But when he died she qualified for a disabled tag herself and would use it when my mom took her places.  So if the passenger is disabled/elderly, I think it's perfectly acceptable to use that spot.

Is she is the one who is handicapped and she doesn't physically get out of the car, than she should not park there while someone else goes in.  She can drive around and pick them up if its that big a deal.
