Parking spaces

[444 Magnum]

I was at our local Lowe's store. I noticed they have reserved parking for the handicapped, veterans, wounded veterans, curbside pickup, contractors, and trucks with trailers. Quit a bit of the parking lot is reserved.

So, as I entered the building, I saw an assistant manager I knew named Craig and walked up to him. I passed on my parking lot observations as he listened quietly. With all the sincerity I could muster, I asked, "I am left handed and stupid, when do I get a spot?"

Craig grinned ear to ear, shook my hand, turned and left without a word.

I'm still waiting on that space.

If you're really that stupid, just park wherever you want!

And how would you like your space designated?
I've been in many Lowe's parking lots and the vast majority of the parking spaces are for those folks not identified in your post. Seems you have many more to choose from.

I work out every morning and pre-pandemic, there was a guy about my age or a year or two younger who would always show up, park in a handicap spot then get on a treadmill for a half hour before moving on to other machines. I fought my inner self to keep from asking him if he could walk on a treadmill for 30 minutes, why couldn't he park 6 feet further away. After the pandemic, I only saw him a few times. Maybe he got his wish of being handicapped.

Then there was the other end of the spectrum. Our daughter was born with spinal bifida and a host of other problems. When she went to Michigan State University, we found there were only a couple of handicap parking spots on the entire campus. She was forced to simply park wherever she could and the parking tickets started to pile up. I contacted campus security and after a lengthy discussion in which I offered to have a lawyer, a representative from the Federal government and perhaps a reporter or two come and explain the Americans with Disabilities Act to them, it was agreed that the "Great White Whale" (my daughter's 1984 Chevy Impala) would be ignored wherever it chose to beach itself.
