Resenting the Handicapped
Tonight I was at Target and I noticed there were many reserved spaces for those with disabilities. I said to my family, "Why are there so many handicap spaces?" So that lead me to remember a certain phrase uttered in the parking garage at Forest Fair Mall, "Why are there so many handicap spaces?" Oh how little we change over the years. Does any one else remember this? If I remember correctly there was a person at their vehicle in one of those spaces as we walked by and spoke those words.

Yeah, I remember that now...I do think that there was someone in hearing range, and I slightly remember feeling shamed. It reminds me of my wife's story in which she and her coworkers were carpooling to lunch. While looking for a parking spot, her boss said, "It is a shame that none of us are handicapped." I go on record that I do not resent those who are handicapped, just parking lot planners who put more spots than are used. : )
