So those who need to minimize walking park across 2-3 spots so they can just step out onto the curb.

I assume that is when the reserved Handicap spots are full....

Oh, not really, it is just that they don't have a Handicap plate/sticker...

I wonder why...

Well it seems to me:
1. All mail boxes have sufficient overflow parking, if we have to park a short distance and walk say 50+ feet who cares? Exercise a little bit folks.
2. Some older folks are loaded with Arthritic Conditions and so they try to minimize the pain of walking and or backing out. Give em a break, they do need it.
3. Why aggravate that or any situation with a cart? Do you not see that if you purposely antagonize people, then you may be getting some scratches or worse?
4. Relax and enjoy your Retirement, take it easy!!!
5. One guy was very upset at me for where I parked my bike, he threatened to kick out the spokes!!

Is retired life that difficult for some to chill out? Lucky for him he changed his mind, or what is left of it.

It takes maybe two minutes to pick up your mail. Why let it bother you if a cart blocks two spaces for two minutes?

Kind of spoiled kid attitude to block them in while you get your mail, isn't it?

It takes 2 minutes to get the mail, I don't see a problem.
2 minutes? Have you gotten your mail lately? At certain times of the day, the mail stations have become the newest place for neighbors to "gather and gab".

Not a big problem some people just like to gripe

We at Mallory have another issue with parking. Pool parking overflows into the "pick up mail" parking due to the poor design of the pool entrance.

Right, wouldn't that be great? Kindness, grace and understanding goes a long way. Namaste.

We have lived in 4 different Villages in 10 years. Never found, even once, it hard to find a parking space at the mail boxes.

This is my experience also, at Virginia Trace. Where are these villages where parking is an issue at the mailbox?

Really, if the parking lot is empty, what difference does it make.

Sideways

Sorry, I don't see a problem with this if there are plenty of spaces and the time is short. After all, some seniors can no longer turn their heads to look out the back window. And, things appear closer, bigger, whatever in the mirror. Just sayin, maybe lighten up a hair.
