They issue placards and plates to PTSD people here. One of the dudes that my uncle lets hunt the farm here has "wheelchair plates" on his f-150.
Damn sure aint anything hindering his legs. He humps a backpack, loggy bayou stand, and bow all over the hills and hollers on the place. Drags deer out with his climbing harness
marinate on that
Between that and the 10% off on Veterans Day I've been thinking about signing up.

Only a moron like you Deacon would find any humor in that, says a lot about your lack of character. Let's see, fake recovering alcoholic, fake Deacon and now fake disabled person. Unless your mental disability qualifies you?

Many are simply lazy lard asses. They tend to leave those Walmart electric carts right in the middle of two handicap parking spaces when they leave, so the spaces can't be easily accessed by other lazy lard asses. I swore to my wife I would never get a handicap sticker, regardless. Handicapped Americans made out just fine for decades, without the stupid ADA law. I could tell you why it's in that position, but it wouldn't fit with your prejudice. That person likely has very little use of thier legs, and had to use the "hell-handle" to get from seat to seat. Probably has hand controls on the vehicle. Do you think it's more likely that someone with a hand controlled vehicle crawled into a Walmart and then left the Free Rascal outside than a 400 pound woman waddled inside and then left the Free Rascal outside? Cause I think 400 pound women are more common at Walmart.

No one says jack shît to people with a pair of batshît crazy Pomeranian "service dogs" or miniature horse therapy animals on flights.
Yeah right
But someone with a pacemaker that can walk himself slowly, unaided into the walmart is the real con artist against society
Got it

Reminds me of a car, with a handicapped placard, that was parked in a handicapped spot every day outside my workplace. Had a ski rack on the back. Believe it or not, there are disabled skiers, who refuse to give up what they love to do, because some drunk driver took thier leg. You should admire that drive, not disparage it. Most folks would just give up. There used to be a guy here who was a radio host. His legs were pretty much disabled and he used crutches to more or less drag them around. He was said to be a pretty fair skier. He had short skis that fit on the ends of his crutches and sort-of regular skis on his feet. I never actually saw him on the slopes but I saw pics of his setup.

Most folks would just give up. If you can ski in any way possible without the help of several people at once your not disabled. F'ing period. You can never convince me otherwise. I do restaurant delivery and on occasion have to block a handicap spot or 2. The level of pretentiousness that these poor "disabled" folk have is mind numbing. I see weekly people who will squeeze into places around the truck to get into a handicap spot even when there are non-handicap spaces CLOSER to the door. IMHO At least 95% of handicap permits aren't needed. Maybe more. I'm all f'd up too, Back, Knee, who gives ashit . Unless you need aid walking you shouldn't get a handicap permit.

I got one when I had knee surgery and was on two crutches for 4 months. I keep it just in case as sometimes there are NO parking spots except handicap. There is a train park in Scottsdale that has like 40 HC spots. Most times I've been there they were ALL empty. It comes in handy when my MIL visits.

For folks wondering how many spaces are required (I was curious too) it's based on the number of regular spots. - https://adata.org/factsheet/parking

One of the mcdonald's here near Ft Campbell, the entire front row of parking (about 6 slots) is all handicap.
Total no. of parking spaces, is about 20-25.

I try not to get too worked up about people who park in HC spots but don't "appear handicapped.".
I have no idea what their handicap is, or what they're dealing with.

No doubt a lot of lard asses who use those things are bogus and simply lazy, but you're painting with a pretty wide (no pun intended) brush there. Lots of legit folks do greatly benefit from the convenience that the ADA provides. To the OP, I am confident I could qualify for the handicap authorization based on my VA disability, but the last thing I'd want to do is park up close to where everyone else does. No better way to get a door ding than choosing a parking space close to the doors, handicap or not.

My Dad is a wreck, ejection injuries. So he's justified. But he didn't get one until he really needs it.
The thing I've noticed about the tags is, if the vehicle is driven with the tag hanging, that person is a lousy driver to be paid attention to at all times. Why would anyone drive around with that thing blocking so much of your forward vision? And yep, Dad puts his in the jockey box when the car is moving.

There are skiers when only parts of thier legs left to them. You clearly have never seen the disabled ski. Thier equipment is very different than what you might use, and you clearly could not use thiers. Side note: my dad owner a construction company. He got injured on the job and spent time in a wheelchair. It was eye opening for him, just how hard it was to get around. He was maneuvering to try and park in a handicap space, when a self entitled asshat cut in and took it. (Not handicapped) and laughed about it. My dad had to work his way in from alot further out in the lot, and he was so angry at that asshat, that he posted a sign in the office, that ANY employee that parked a company truck in a handicap spot for any reason would be immediately terminated. As with anything, it can be abused, but those spots ain't for you, unless you have and SHOW the emblem. Anyone who abuses the emblem or let's another use it, can lose it themselves. As for the 400lb woman that people keep mentioning.... Imagine you can't breath well, and sometimes can't breath well enough to know for sure it going to continue. Add in a heart condition, and crone's, and water retention caused by the medication that keeps you breathing, and a nearly complete loss of cartilage in both knees thanks to your heredity, borderline diabetes (again due to the medication), and a loss of feeling from the thighs down. Do you really think you will keep your girlish figure long? Add in the several hospital stays each year, the enforced bedrest, and I seriously doubt you would be under 300lbs yourself. It's daily life here.

That's because he is doing it correctly and legally. Here, it will cost you a ticket for obscuring your vision by leaving the tag hanging.
