Here's why.
Ok so there is some actually handicap'd person that needs the handicap parking spot. But no. A person that has eating nothing but garbage and been lazy their whole life get's it.
Like I stated in my post before. If your overweight becaues of medical reasons and no matter what you can't lose weight. Hey I can understand that. But if your overweight because your lazy, watch TV all day long, and eat shitty foods, and then you want to claim that as a disability. I don't think so. I go to the gym probably 4-7 times a week. I've played hockey all my life, I DON'T eat deep fried foods, I have a salad and veggies and fruit every day. Plus I make sure to eat chicken with no fat, light yogurt, light salad dressings, light everything. I don't smoke, I don't drink that much anymore, I don't drink pop or coffee or tea, or anything with caffieene for that matter.
It just bothers me that people are trying to make laziness and a shitty lifestyle a disability. I'm not talking abotu just a little overweight either. I'm talking about obese as hell.
Does it bother you.
This post is in no way to offend anybody. If I did offend you. I'm sorry. I was just curious to see what everybody else thought.

Yeah...this one hits close to home for me. I, myself, am just this side of parking in the blue zone. I have to use my left leg/foot to steer and it gets a bit taxing on my muscles for a bit unless it's a really short trip. My license actually lists "mechanical aid" right next to "correctional lenses" and the f@ckers at the DOT say I don't qualify for the handicapped parking. That doesn't bother me so much...there are other people who need it more and if I can still walk then I should, but when I see some fat f@ckin tub of shit squeeze their way out of their car and waddle their way into a building I want to key the f@k out of their car, chase them down (cuz let's face it...they ain't gettin away) and beat them to death with their own shoes. There are a few people who actually can't help it (hypothyroidism cases, lymphodema, etc.) but that's such a small fraction of these beached whales that it's pathetic. If I'm not going to pitch a fit that I don't get a blue zone pass then these ginormous freak show applicants can walk some of that fat off. It's hard on your knees? LOSE WEIGHT. You get winded? So do I but I smoke...do I get a handicrapper space cuz I smoke? Basically these people are no better than the people who park in those spots who do it to get into a place of business quicker. F@ck em all.
Sidebar: This also applies to fat people who use motorized scooters. If you're so fat that you have trouble walking, the solution is NOT buying something that makes you work less. Now I've seen they also have couches for fat people. Again, if your ass is so big you won't fit onto your couch, the solution is NOT a bigger couch.
