[quote="sinsboldly"][quote="Spokane_Girl"]I knew a guy last year and he found a handicap permit for parking in a handicap spot and he uses it he told me but only sometimes when he is in a rush or doesn't want to park far from the store. I thought it was wrong. Plus the thing wasn't even registered to his car.[/quote] I was on my first date with this guy and he pulls up to the club (that was PACKED) and pulls right into the handicapped parking spot out front. I just had time to turn and look at him and he pulls out a stack of handicapped parking hangers and picks one and hangs it on the rear view mirror. He actually thought I was going to be IMPRESSED! by his cleverness in beating the system. I called a cab and went home. Merle[/quote]
