I see that a lot here in Fla...perfectly healthy young people driving a car with a disability tag and utilizing it. I assume they are mostly using someone else's car and just being assholes. I scowl at them but rarely say anything, because I'd hate to disparage someone who actually had a disability that simply wasn't obvious to me.

I do wish more stores had temporary spots for pregnant women in their third trimester. The only store in Clearwater that I know of is Babies R Us and they'd better have them!! In my last pregnancy, I literally became housebound because walking any distance was so terribly painful. I would only go out if my partner was driving and could drop me off close to the front doors. Severe back damage isn't helped by carrying an extra 30 lbs around at an awkward angle and the extreme swelling of my extremities due to toxemia made every step agony. However, it is only temporary and can be dealt with.

And yes, people will feel sorry for themselves when they get a ticket or towed. If they really believe what they are doing is wrong, they wouldn't be parking there in the first place. For people like that, I hope they one day experience something that gives them firsthand knowledge of how selfish they were.
