Damned if you do, damned if you don't
My wife and I went out to eat in our golf cart. When I got the the restaurant I dutifully parked my cart in the left hand side of a space, as I understand is the custom, so that another cart may also park in that space, thereby saving spaces.
When we came out of the restaurant, there was a note on my cart from the car driver that was to the left of the space that I was in. She explained that because of the way that I parked she had a lot of difficulty getting her handicapped passenger into her car and I should be more considerate and think about that the next time I park my cart.
I looked down at my rear wheels, which are a bit wider than the front and saw that they were a good six inches inside my space.
Had I parked further over, I would have risked getting a note from an irate golf cart driver who may not have been able to find a space because I was in effect taking two.
It seems that no matter what you do, someone has a problem with it.
I'm assuming that she didn't have a handicap plate which would have allowed her to park in a handicapped space, which is reasonable if this person were only a, occasional guest in her car. I want to know is that if this person knew that she had a handicapped person with her, why didn't she park further to the left in her space allowing more room for her passenger?
