Thoughts?

 

I know I should be totally outraged, but I laughed out loud.  She is such a prissy witch, I would expect nothing less of her.  I would suspect that this scene will do more for the handicapped parking cause , than a lot of notes left on windshields.  Reverse psychology and all that.  I have read comments from 2 people today who were totally ticked off because of her blatant misuse of the parking place.  Maybe someone who watched will think twice now before they run into a store for "just a minute" while using a blue zone.

Nice that the show used real gimps for the shot. I'm sorry LAS VEGAS was cancelled.  I always hoped Mitch Longely would get an expanded part in that   show.

I have to admit, I'm torn. I thought it was funny in one way, but she doesn't have any real consequences for her actions. I'm also a bit concerned that people will take her  reasoning (he can't park, he's blind, therefore the tag really belongs to me and I can therefore use it whenever and wherever) as acceptable. That's not a good enough reason NOT to show something like that, but it does concern me. 

hahaha, that was funny,We are a series behind DHW in New Zealand so it was nice to get a glimpse of an upcoming show-but echo yr sentiments that this is likely to highlight this problem that is an issue worlwide and not just the U.S.

 

That was funny. I got into it once at the YMCA with a woman who was running in for "just a minute." Fortunately, as I was trying to not lose my temper one of the Y coaches yelled at the woman for parking in h/c parking. *LOL*

 

I've actually made people MOVE from h/c parking when they pulled in before me and they can walk and I need the spot to unload my son. One woman tried to get nasty with me and said, "You look fine."

 

"I said, 'Yeah, but my son is in a wheelchair and I cannot unload him in a regular spot. He can't walk."

 

She turned deep red and shut her pie hole and moved. *LOL*

 

This was when we still had a lift van. With the Element, I try for h/c parking when he's with me (obviously, I don't use it when he's not) but if they are all full then I usually can find a spot to get him in/out of.  

 

What burns my bacon is the times I've gotten dirty looks when I get out, and then once they see me unload my son's w/c from the back they suddenly turn away like, oops.One of these days, I'm going to yell at them to get off their judgmental ass and help me unload the thing. *LOL*

O. K......I'm confused. Do blind people actually get driver's liscense's ? I don't think so.....much less handicapped placards !.....so the whole premise for the scene is outrageous.......just like SHE is.....it's funny....let's face it !!

You know what's weird? Whenever I use a handicap spot and someone is standing by it or walking by, before I get out of the car they stare at me in an obvious "why are YOU parking there?" way. When I get out with the crutch they stop, but I wonder why they do it in the first place? I am 39 but look much younger... maybe that's it? It's weird.
