So? If Walt Disney’s frozen corpse rose from the cryochamber to give her permission that doesn’t make it right for her to park in two handicapped spots all day long just so she doesn’t spend 5 minutes re parking her van. ---

It’s nice if you can do what you did, but perhaps it’s not so easy to leave her son alone while maneuvering the car like that. And she shouldn’t need to. ---

I’m going to guess that 99% of the people who take multiple spots don’t have a good reason (she does), and in general the “don’t be an asshole” fake ticket is a fine reaction. To quote the ear worm “let it go”. She expects to get to be on the news. When I was in junior college in the mid-70s, I bought a pack of those and placed a couple on poorly-parked cars on campus. Never got on the news, though. ---

Maybe I mis-read the article (and I’m not going to go re-read it to be sure) but . . . I thought the problem there was that all the double-size handicapped spaces were occupied, so the lot attendant told her to park in two _regular_ parking spots. ---

> [@DesertDog](#): > > That was the impression I got but, like you, I can’t bothered to go back and reread the article either.   Okay, I re-read the article now, so nobody else has to. It doesn’t say that exactly – It says she was in a disability lot, which seems to imply that there’s _an entire lot_ set aside for disability parking. It says only a few spaces have direct ramp access and those were all occupied. So the lot attendant told her to use two adjacent spaces elsewhere in the disability lot that don’t have direct ramp access. ---
