I was waiting to see if someone made note of the crystal ball!!! Amazing, sounds as if there is a whole group of folks carrying around specially made cards (from another thread) and/or stationery just to leave little "parking police" notes. Puleeeze, can't people park in peace???

Parking at MCO
 
I feel bad for the handicapped person who had to wait while the note was being written.

Some people are never happy. At least it was after your meal. My Mom always said "the best revenge is living well". She is miserable and you will be happy!

Now theres a great idea. If only people would use common sense, which I think is in short demand these days.

What I find amazing about Winston Boogie's post is that the woman actually took the time to get her handicapped person into the car, find a pen and piece of paper, write a nastygram, and then get out of her car, walk to his cart and put it in the cart. She probably could have been down the block and out on a main roadway headed home by the time all that had transpired.

Hopefully, Winston Boogie just shook his head, smiled, and started softly singing, "Let It Be" as he and his wife drove off after a nice dinner.

Well, we don't have to take a test to prove we're friendly.....not everyone is friendly every day, but most days we are.....but we have our "not so friendly days" too, just like everyone else. :)

I thought that what handicap spaces were for... loading and unloading as well as parking close...

Parking spots are not designed to handle 2 carts....Don't know whose bright idea it was to start parking 2 to a spot but unless you know them and can park in front or back of each other it is not doable without these type problems.
In parking lots where you either pull in straight or park at an angle there is enough room for 2 carts.

Carts do not park side-by-side, but stagger so that one is near the side line and toward the front of the space and one is near the opposite side line and in the back portion of the space.

They do not bother to think about other people and their needs, much less why they did something right.

I so agree.

That is exactly what my husband does in the same situation as you mention.
Let the person with the mobility issues out first.....closest to the entry to the establishment...........then go and park the car or whatever.

It is considerate first of all to the person needing added assistance due to whatever mobility problems they may have.....

Unless we walk in another's shoes........none of us know what it's like to be disabled in one form or another........

GOOD POST.
