I had a similar experience... I picked up my friend from double hernia surgery and dropped off his prescriptions... but they told me he would have to sign when we came back... because of the painkillers and the Military insurance, etc.... SO
When I came back I parked in one of 4 emptyexpectant mother/ mothers with infantsspots at the CVS... not the handicapped spots... which were also empty... and let him hobble in and helped him.... I came out and just helped him back in the truck when this chick came from the other side and unloaded on me.... then about 30 seconds into her telling me what a no good ******* I was... she looked into my jacket and saw my shoulder holster....(which was empty)the conversation ended there, she walked away,and I laughed the rest of the way home...

I wouldn’t even think about jumping a curb with my wife in the truck! Jeez, I never hear the end of it. [sm=icon_blah.gif]
I have a handicap plate but sometimes I don’t park in the handicap spot because some days I’m able to walk better then other days. You would not believe the crap I have put up with simply because I drive a Hummer and people haven’t bothered to look at my license plate. I’ve actually had people say to me, “You can’t park there” and I tell them “Did you look at my license plate” but the exchange is not always that pleasant.
Tina,
You need a handicap tag for your mom when she’s riding with you otherwise you shouldn’t be parking in the handicap spot, sorry. [sm=nono.gif]

My wife would think it was a blast if I hopped the curb to get into a place. I have hopped curbs and medians a time or two rather than wait but no one has ever said anything to me.

Coming back from camping on teh Anzac Weekend the freeway back into Brisbane was a parking lot so we went cross country to a forestry track that runs offroad alongside the freeway.
Picked up a lot of time and got some surprised and some very pissed reactions!

I find it Ironic how people bitch about someone handicap in a hummer but forgets about everyone else in their Jeeps, Tahoe's, Suburbans, Escallades, etc.
It's almost like hummer has this unwritten requirement that you need to be able to climb the broad side of a mountain before you can enter it.
I'm 6'6", climbing in a lifted H3 is normal for me, climbing in something like a Focus or any regular sedan is killer for me.

Tina,
I apologize as I misunderstood you. I didn’t realize that you did indeed have a permit for your Mom. I too get pissed when people abuse the handicap permits issued for someone else. What really makes my blood boil is when they don’t have any handicap permit at all and park in the space.
I agree, it's like someone with a handicap plate or permit is supposed to drive a certain type of car. Like Ockie, I too cannot even sit in an automobile and must ride in a truck like vehicle. Getting in and out of a car is simply impossible and too painful for me.
Usually if someone makes a comment I tell them to look at my license plate or to mind their own business.

Ya he seemed as if he had a bit of an attitude, but I just blew it off and was friendly and he seemed to soften a bit. When I saw him jump the curb when he left, I just laughed.

Amusing story... My wife would have stood there and talked to the dude for a half an hour, LOL[8D]
I've had only positive comments so far about our H2, (besides them asking, "Doesn't it eat a lot of gas?"
) I'm sure somewhere down the line I'll be hearing it from some eco maniac. I look forward to that day... lol

i used to drive a dodge SRT-10 pickup with a v-10 viper motor in it, a six speed gearbox and zero practical use.
I had a hippie eco nut start in on me about fuel....i chuckled and told him it ran on dinosaur bones and panda tears....he didnt like it.
As i was leaving the parking lot he was in the lane next to me in a prius....roflmao...there is a god....i rolled forward placing my exhaust as close as i could get it to his door and let her rip....all 500ci running through a borla exhaust....banged it of the rev limiter a few times then dropped first and left 2, 12' wide black stripes down the street in a cloud of fossil fuels and burning petrolium products...... i dont know bout you guys but, destroying theenvironment is just plain ol fun sometimes....
