No never.  I have sat in  a handicapped spot for a minute while waiting for someone with the engine running but I've never parked got out of the car and went shopping for hours parked in a handicapped spot.

but what if someone who was handicapped needed that spot and couldnt use it because you were there, if only for a minute :(

The one time when I was waiting in the spot no other cars came into the parking lot.  It wasn't that long ago so I remember.

I have never used handicap parking. I didn't even use the Mommy parking at Babies R Us when I was pregnant with my son. I figured that there was no reason that I couldn't walk....I wasn't on bedrest or pregnant with twins or something that might make it difficult for me to stand or walk for long periods of time and someone else might need that parking more than me. :)

No, No, No!!  It seems to me that people who do that should be grateful for the fact that they don't have to.

No I've never done that... But my friend tried once, he said it would be only for a few seconds, but I told him. "o my gosh if you do that I swear to you I will call the cops and make them give you a big fat TICKET!!" so he went and park in another parking spot,  :P but hey I'm a person that tries to respect the law as much as possible and that handicap parking was no for him... I should be a cop huh? :D

No. This is a pet peeve of mine. 

I know the majority of people would never consider  parking in a Hp parking spot even if they weren't disabled and qualified for it. As much as I hate to admit it I do qualify for the spots and do use them. For those of you who may consider using them I  would trade my legs for yours any day. Also keep in mind that there are many others such as the elderly who don't qualify but probably need it more than I do on some days.

What bothers me most about this is when people park between 2 hp spots in the van loading zones denying access to those in wheelchairs to use the spaces. I am very fortunate I can walk  I don't need a wheelchair.  However for those who do getting around is a lot harder.

So if you happen to see this please at least leave a note on the windsheild that they are illegally parked and denying access to people in wheelchairs. If it is a repeat offender I will report it to the police Thanks so much

 
Be grateful for what you have and you will receive more than you ever expected

If you believe it you can achieve it.

I don't park in hp spots and I have MS. I don't qualify for a hp decal. What does get me mad is when some one is sitting in the car waiting for the hp person to get out of the store. Sorry, circle the lot or find a space and wait for your friend. Around here hp spaces can be at a premium. Btw hp spots are wide for wheelchairs, etc. Not for motorcycles. Enough of my rant.... :wave:

No, never, no never have I parked in a handicap parking space.  I do, however, use the handicap stall at the restroom and son't see anything wrong with that.  It is handicap accessible but not restricted if you get what I mean.

I use those when I shop with my boys. They're 3 and 18 months. It's easier to keep them together in one big stall.  :heart:

Never thought about them being convenient for moms with children, but, as a non=parent, I would say that shopping with toddlers qualify you as 'shopping handicapped"
