When the fuck did FAT become a certifiable disability?

So I ran by Wendy's today to grab some lunch, and while I'm sitting there savoring jr bacon cheeseburgery goodness, I see this black 04+ grand pricks pull up in the handicapper spot right by the door. Beings that I'm an avid people-watcher, I take interest in just what ailment this person possesses such that they are entitled to a sweet spot up front where shitheads won't door ding their ride (not that her POS had that to worry about).

So, she parks, hangs her stick person wheelchair on her rearview, and jiggles her way out of the car, all 300+ quivering pounds, perched precariously atop an awful pair of wedge heels that not even my relatively fit self could manage to balance on. I pity those poor shoes.

Anyway, she walks into Wendy's, having a pretty easy job of it, not a disability in sight, and ordered what likely amounted to the better part of the menu, and walked right back out after taking her bag. No wheelchair, no limp, no visible physical impairments. This while I sat amongst a sea of blue-hairs who are all knocking on death's door with their nearly broken hips, and none of whom possess this blue placard of parking superiority.

I also noted another fatty pull up in the other handicap spot, but she had a temp tag and a cast on her leg, so I'll give that one the nod...

So really, is this shit this much of a sham that you just need to pony up a few bucks and a sob story to get one? Seeing as I don't need the exercise and I hate door dings, I should get myself one...

Actually it was pretty close as of a few months ago to becoming and actual disability. It's ridiculous, I'll agree. Not defending her or anything, but she may have had a legitimate injury. My dad has one, he rarely if ever uses the thing though, he's a big guy, no limp or anything, but has to have both of his knees replaced within the next year or so. One of the knees is bone on bone, the other has multiple torn ligaments. So I mean people probably wonder why he would have it, and I have a sneaking suspicion that she has bum knees (probably more than likely due to the weight anyways)

Was it Mencia that said that The fatness is why you should be parking out as far as you can?

This is bullshit... I only park in a Handy Spot when I have my grandma with me, and even then it's a pain in the ass to get here to give me the card so I can park there.

Another person that royally pisses me off is the one that has handy plates on his car but parks there so someone else WITHOUT a disability can go in and get something from Wal-Mart. HELLO YOU FUCKING RETARD! the law states that the person that the plate/placard is issued to HAS TO GET OUT OF THE CAR.

Oh, and people that sit in the Fire Lane while someone runs inside Piss me off royally too.

I think I am gonna get a pedo van and set i up with a camera mount to catch these people in the act and then report them... Fucking Lazy Asses...

I pushed carts at Jewel for a few months, that made me pretty upset
Not really exactly the same. But what about the people at the gym who sit there at the front of the lot for someone to come out so they can park close.

YOU ARE AT THE GYM! Hello? Walking from the back of the lot would be okay, der?

Thats funny because its true, burn a few more calories sincethats why your at the gym

thats bullshit. At least she burned a few calories walking in to the Wendys instead of going in the drive-thru, but still a BS excuse for a handicap spot. There are people with real disabilities that deserve that parking spot.

She was probably just in a hurry...the Drive-thru at this Wendy's gets obscenely crowded during lunch, you can get your food inside in 1/8 the time the drive thru would take.

My very very over weight aunt wants to apply for disability and I think it's bullshit. Granted her weight has made it hard on her knees when it comes to walking but if she just stop ordering off the biggie menu and work out a little to lose the weight I don't see why she needs to be considered for disability. She stands on her feet for 6-7 hours a day working at blockbuster but she can't walk down a parking lot? It's bull and a scam.

I do this a fair amount, but if my wife needs to run into a store for like 1 thing I'll do it since she's almost ready to pop and it's easier for her. I am sitting in the driver's seat though.

Now that is something that I would allow, so as long as it is a pregnant woman walking into the store, but otherwise if she has a husband/boyfriend with her, wouldn't it be easier for the lazy fuck to go in to get whatever it is anyways? (urrrr, feminine products NOT included)
