The sound of children is music to me.
Good grief...We need a disabled parking sign for those with temporary health issues, like sprained ankles, migraine headaches, arthritis acting up, sore backs, gout, and painful feet, and the overweight who are having difficulty walking in to buy more food...
When I see those “Hybrid only” parking spots I try to take two of them ;-)
I have an Accord hybrid. It drives like a regular car but gets about 20% better fuel economy and I can park in the high efficiency spaces.
Indeed. Which is more "efficient"?
1. a minivan that gets 25 MPG with 6 passengers
2. a hybrid that gets 40 MPG, but only has one passenger?
This is so moronic. People should just ignore it just like those idiots who park their giant size SUVs in the COMPACT spots, which actually are physically smaller.
Able bodied people should park in the furthest spot away anyway and walk for the exercise.
I’ve also noticed that if municipalities want to make some dough, just put a cop outside any establishment selling liquor and ticket all the lazy drunks who insist on parking their car right on the curb, clearly marked FIRE LANE or NO PARKING. Seriously, dipsos, can you not read?
Here is a little tip that I use when kids are annoying in a super market. And they are.
Stop and just stand there looking at something.
It is amazing how fast people go through a store.
I find if I just STOP the world seems to just pass me by.
I had a total hip replacement last June. I’ve recovered to the point I can walk a straight line and look like nothing’s wrong. Throw a ball in front of a few feet and the pain of trying to twist my gait avoid it is rough business.
I like kids too, but I can’t stand there for long to wait them out. I just try to go to the store when there aren’t that many people. That’s when the young Mommies are out in force, too. I used to carry my cane just to ward them off.
I know it’s illegal to park in a Wheelie Space without a permit...but what about the others?
Here in Texas, if it ain’t a Wheelie Space and it is open, I take it. I DARE any supermarket to challenge me (and thus lose my business)...and they’re not that stupid.
I should have mentioned I’m a crank that just turned 53...I hate the getting old business, too.
This idea that children should be polite and thoughtful of their elders is just soooooooooo old fashioned.
May your ideas spread to encompass the entire populace.
