This week has GOT to be better

Good Morning to all. Last week was a complete waste. I did NOTHING! Friday night we had a big storm and at 11:00 PM this big clap of thunder woke me up and the first thing I did was reach for Buttons. He was terrified of storms and I had to hold him like a baby during them. Of course he wasn't there when I reached for him this time. I have promised myself to make this a better week. So to start off on the right foot, I thought I'd revisit my favorite thing, handicapped people who don't know, or care, how they park. My friend and I were sitting in the parking lot of Best Buy waiting for them to open. We had arrived early and had 10 minutes to wait. As usual, I had been careful in my parking and selection of a spot so that I could get my wheelchair out of the van. As we sat there, this lady, approximately 40 years old, pulled her big SUV into a handicapped spot, literally JUMPED out of it and fast walked to the door. Of course, she thought she was clever and going to beat all the rest of us into the store. She didn't seem to notice the huge steel gate covering the entrance. Then you know what she did. Go ahead, you know. YES, she stood there and YANKED on the door. Oh did I forget to mention when she parked, she left her SUV HALF in the spot and HALF on the diagonal lines painted there so that somebody in a wheelchair could use them. Do you think SHE care? NOT! So now tell me, exactly HOW does a person who is able to JUMP from their car and RUN to the door qualify for a handicapped placard? My buddy and I sat there amazed, not only at her about the doors but how totally inconsiderate of other handicappers. PEOPLE pay ATTENTION to how you park! PLEASE??? Go shopping, have fun, but be thoughtful of others not as "handicapped" as you are.
