Just because you were awarded a Purple Heart, that doesn't make you disabled.
I was in the military and rated 100% disabled because of several physical ailments. I never received a Purple Heart. (thank God). Even though I am rated 100% disabled by the VA I cannot get a Handicapped Parking sticker.
so then they shouldnt get any special parking privileges. that is for people who actually have a need. to give it to people as some kind of participation trophy for killing other people seems ridiculous.
I hope you realize that, without psych therapy, this problem will follow you when you move away from NJ--as you keep telling us you will do after receiving your Bachelor's Degree. "Geographical cures" don't work for this type of problem.
lol geographical cares. Maybe I should get a security blanket, a therapy animal, and a rape whistle, because people love to STARE.
had to stop by shoprite this morning so i snapped this pic. its for wounded so just let them get a handicap sticker. no sense in humiliating them by pointing out the evil that they have participated in.
Unlike a handicapped designated spot, this , i'm pretty sure, can't be legally enforced.

Anyone can claim to be a veteran, too. You see lots of cardboard signs proclaiming "homeless veteran" on the sidewalks of New York. They know that gets them sympathy.
I saw a guy in the North Jersey Record some years ago. Long hair, skinny, about the right age, playing his piccolo on a park bench on Veteran's Day. Caption said he was a Vietnam Vet.
But I knew he was Phil the schizophrenic from the bar in Fair Lawn. He was never in the service. They wouldn't have taken him. His father was quite wealthy and had left him a house and enough funds to live on for the rest of his life with someone overseeing the funds and checking in on him. He once told me he was Commander in Chief of the Army of God, and that everyone in Washington, DC knew. That's as close to veteran as he ever got.
I'm surprised no one has complained about the "expectant mother" parking spaces that are fairly common. My Shop Rite has them and I've seen them at many other stores. As far as I'm concerned, if a pregnant woman is able enough to walk around the grocery store to get the shopping done, is there any reason she can't walk an additional 50 feet through the parking lot to a "regular" spot?
My Kroger not only has 12 handicapped spots but also 4 expectant mother spots and 6 "parents with small children" spots. But the kicker are the 6 "Click List" spots for customers to park and wait in their cars for their online orders to be brought out. In my opinion, it's the employees doing the walking and those spots should be at the back of the lot so that paying customers can park closer to the store.
Parking at the back of the lot is not a problem in terms of a little bit of walking but not much fun when you exit to find it pouring. Or maybe it's 110 degrees out or 0 degrees with gusty winds. They are probably not as safe either.
I just only ever go to the grocery store on off-hours when fewer people are there. I have always done that. I don't want to deal with lines and crowds and searches for parking spaces.

Yeah, but if you park in a handicapped spot, you'll get a pricey ticket. If you park in this spot, nothing should happen....

this is ridiculous. the employees are walking back and forth all day, why should they have to walk all the way back to the lot? yes, its excessive and dangerous. it is also not a very efficient use of resources if the employees are wasting a lot of time in the walk to and from cars.
im fine with expecting mother, parents with small children, etc. etc. it just may be an issue of wasted space if they arent fully utilized. but i wont complain. i am happy to walk a little further if women or anyone wants a better spot. except those military employees, they should have special parking spots on the farthest end of the parking lot.
