Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Aldeer General Forum What's with all the handicap tags???

Got a better question, do the Helping Schools tags come with the free school lunches?

Amen!! Every year they have that handicap hunt, and half those jokers walk up a ridge and climb a tree!

Which is so ass-backwards........The doctor's response ought to be "No ma'am, I won't give you a parking tag b/c you're 5'2" and 400lbs. In fact, you should park at the very end of the parking lot and walk back & forth to get some modicum of exercise"

There’s a big farmer in rogersville al that sometimes sells cars in front of his house and everyone has a dam handy cap decal hanging on the rear view mirror.Dam shame how low people can be

My FIL had one leg and uses crutches and he works every day in the logging industry. He doesn't have a handicapable tag and won't get one. Usually the handicap tags are the ones that will pass you on a double yellow striped 2 lane road in a school zone running 70mph. You don't hardly see the elderly anymore with handicap tags. What i usually see it mid 20's to 60s or so with handicap tags danm near run over you and swing into a handicap parking hole then jump out and run into the store. Last week a guy with a handicap tag nearly plowed the front of my parked truck to get into a handicap hole at tractor supply then get out and go start looking at the little scooter bikes and utvs parked out front

My wife has one. Here pulmonologist prescribed it due to her stupid smoking habit of 45 years. On the other hand, she can't walk very far and shopping in a store is a rare thing so ya'll don't have to worry about it.

I never paid much attention to HC parking until my wife got MS. We have to get hers renewed every few years. You are suppose to keep a form in the vehicle and use the placard only when that person is in the car. I would love for some of these forms to get checked sometime, but it won't happen.

I’ve noticed a lot in the left lane at 10 under the limit all the way from Arab to Albertville every day.

Side note: I realize everyone who has a tag isn’t slow behind the wheel.

For the record, so no one misunderstands, a Disabled Veterans tag IS NOT a handicap tag and does not serve as one. It does not give the person Handicap parking privileges, although the Vet probably deserves and needs the spot worse than some that park there.

You are correct. I broke my hand severely several years ago and had to go to physical therapy three times a week. There were folks of a certain demographic who also had a hand injury getting therapy, and ALL of them had HC tags, and couldn't understand why I refused to get one. Ridiculed me for not getting one.

I currently have one for my hip replacement last week. Better believe I'll use it while I'm having to use this walker to get around. I'm 37 btw...

Being fat is not a handicap.

That's absolutely correct.
And although I have both, I still prefer to park closer to a shade tree than a store front.

While you are correct about the DV tags I can say without a doubt that I was told by the tag office people that I could park anywhere I wanted with my DV tag

My dad has one but anyone than knows his story knows he needs it. Now, my 73 year old mom will use it if she goes to her local Walmart, early in the morning because the dang thugs are taking over so much she wants to be as close to the store as possible.

Watched one of you Bozos with a handicap plate unload a climber tree stand and hit the woods with it on his back up at Skyline onetime.

How do you know it wasn't some guy borrowing his father's truck?

Same reason you “know” all “Democrats” are lazy...

I observe the same thing.

It is a known fact that the true unemployment rate is much higher than reported as a very large percentage of people dropped out of the work force as a result of the Great Recession and applied for SS disability. The SS disability rolls are very high now.

And now we have military veterans make all kinds of VA disability claims that military folk of prior generations would have never made. A few years ago when going into Wally world a brand new cherry red Camaro pulled into the handicapped parking spot, had a disabled veterans tag, and a handicapped placard on the mirror......and out came an early to mid 30s black man who looked and walked like a college linebacker. All normal and happy. If there was anything wrong with him it was in his head.

This is not to take away from anyone who is legit disabled whether it be SS or VA, but it is a FACT of our contemporary history that there is a massive abuse of the system going on.

I don't know all damocrats are lazy.
I know all democrats are evil, not lazy.

I think the tags are easier to get.

When my late father-in-law had some vascular issues pop up, he was told that he could get a tag/decal. It really pissed him off because he knew others who were in more need of them and also didn't like to feel like he was infirm. But mostly the first part - he knew of others who needed or could use them, and he could still get around OK.

As his problem progressed he eventually did use one. But overall, yeah, I think they're being doled out more easily these days. Could be wrong.


Last week in Denver we were in a coffee shop and a woman literally was losing her damned mind screaming "WHO'S PARKED IN THE HANDICAPPED SPOT WITH NO TAG?" No one answered and she yelled it again, and then went out and took photos of the van.

Five minutes later a dude comes out of the bathroom, sheepish look on his face, and walks straight to the van. Bubble Gut must have gotten to him pretty fierce!
