People,

I know that I have a lower tolerance for irritation than most people, and I'm OK with this. But among all the stupid things that drive me crazy there are more than a few legitimate gripes. One of which is the respect people have for handicapped parking.

I literally become full of rage when I see people who don't have a handicapped plate or a visible disability park in a handicapped spot. I mean, forget about the fact that it's against the law, it's also just mind-bendingly "Look at me, I'm a huge stupid asshole" selfish. Yesterday I was at a CVS when a lady zipped into the lot, cut me off on my bike and parked in a handicapped spot. This was particularly offensive since there were approximately 19,000 million other spaces available a 35 second walk away. Anyway, a moment later, a mid thirty-something very non-handicapped lady gets out of the car. I yell at her that she can't park there, it's a handicapped space. She yells back that I should mind my own business, she'll just be a minute and then turns and walks away. So I keyed her car.

Ok, I didn't do that but good god damn I wanted to. Oh well. I guess I have no real point today. Sometimes I just get depressed and wonder where people's compassion for each other has gone.

Look out for each other, people.
