Are we too lazy?

From Mark J. Smith, Waterford Township:

Have we become that lazy and inconsiderate that we have to park illegally in handicapped parking? If you are not handicapped, you cannot park in a handicapped-assigned parking spot, regardless if you have someone else’s handicapped parking sticker or tag! I don’t care what excuse you have — if you are an able-bodied person and you park in a handicapped spot, not only is it illegal, but you are denying that legal convenience to someone who might really need it.

At OfficeMax today, I saw a woman with absolutely no handicaps park in a handicapped spot and force an elderly person to park farther away in a regular spot. That elderly person struggled to make it to the store and even when that woman saw this, she didn’t seem to care — her time was so important that she couldn’t park a few feet farther away. That to me is the epitome of laziness and self-importance. I think the townships and cities are missing a big source of revenue, ticketing those who park illegally in handicap spots.
