Good for you! You are a lot bolder than I am. I wouldn't be caught dead doing that after that guy dumped his ashes all over my hood. He might deck me next time. I just watch people take those parking spaces and seethe. There is one pet peeve I have, though. Many businesses put ALL their shaded spaces into handicapped spaces. It gets very hot in Arizona, and I would like the opportunity vie for SOME of those parking spaces with the handicapped. It doesn't seem fair. Another thing that seems unfair is when they put so many handicapped spaces. One time recently I noticed that all the shaded spots at the local building materials store were handicapped. I wondered just what percentage of their clientele is handicapped! While it is not impossible for a handicapped person to need building materials, most of what they sell is beyond MY capacity to use, physically, and I don't qualify to use one of the spaces! My own view is that if four spaces are ROUTINELY empty, the supply is greater than the demand. Of course, I usually shop when the store is less busy, so who am I to talk? The point of all this is that I am glad you made those papers. More power to you. Now I just wish they'd make parking spaces for people with very young children, so they don't have to carry them so far, or so the youngsters can get into the store without having to cross the parking lot.
