I came back out for something about 15 min. later and I saw it was still parked there. At the same moment, I saw a car park 5 spaces away from the (taken) handicapped spot and then saw an elderly couple get out of the car. I wasn't sure if they had a sticker/tag or not, but it made me mad that the sports car was still in the spot. I went inside and reported it to the desk clerk. From the way she responded to me, I am pretty sure it was someone that worked there and that person was around the corner and in earshot of us. I hoped she heard my mini-vent about it and how very WRONG it was to park there. :)<br /><br />Love you, Nancy!Lisa McSpaddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605775013320056468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100340357884608638.post-65435520544896765342011-09-30T20:47:27.296-07:002011-09-30T20:47:27.296-07:00Everyday at work, I see this....and it amazes me t...Everyday at work, I see this....and it amazes me that people do this!! We have loyal customers that come in and sometimes have to circle the parking lot b/c the handicap spaces are constantly filled by people who don't appear to need them....no limps, no crutches....yet one of our customers that needs a wheelchair to get around, has to wait or find another spot!! Today, one of our Sales Reps discovered cars in handicap spots with no stickers or tags and appeared to be irate about it...and I can't say I blame her!! I even think she was getting plate numbers...but she ended up standing outside until the owner's of the vehicles came back then proceeded to stand in the spot until our customer made her way back!! It was nice to see someone take a stand (literally) for this!!Amy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350582905658495434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100340357884608638.post-50225310551452387782011-09-29T20:10:53.214-07:002011-09-29T20:10:53.214-07:00Oh Nancy I remember one time about 25 years ago, (...Oh Nancy I remember one time about 25 years ago, (oh wow we are old) Allan had just opened his clinic and I was in charge of decorating along with a few other things. Anyway I was trying to deliver some very large and heavy pictures to the upstairs office. I could barely lift them so I parked in front of the door, yes in the "No Parking" zone loaded them on a wheel chair and took the up on the elevator. When I got up there I got distracted by who knows what and forgot the van was still sitting in front of the door. The downstairs clinic called up to report that I was blocking handicap access. Oh man, I felt so bad. I rushed down to move the van and met the couple who had reported me. They were so angry with me, (picture Abbey) I apologized profusely but they were not going to let it go. I wanted to hide! I felt so bad about it. I do try to be very careful now. Occasionally I even give up the close non- handicap space because I know someone needs it more but only occasionally. I am sure I will do it more often now and always remember your words!<br /><br />May God bless you and your precious family!<br />I love you!<br />CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13970429299968919687noreply@blogger.com
