You conveniently leave out the part of him waiting outside for him, but that it took too long and he had to go in for the appointment. We've said all along if the truck is there for 60 seconds or so, it's no big deal. The fact that in his example he was there for quite a while is completely different.

 

Keep trying RTS, sooner or later you'll make a relevant point.

 

Your putting in words here. He didn't say he waited "too long" and had to go back in. Seems to try and conveniently help your argument though.

I'm making the assumption that he didn't come out and wait for only 10 seconds...He said he went in, then came back out and waited, but had to go back in before the driver came out. I would assume "waited" means he was out there for more than just a "quick second". :idunno:

Maybe and maybe not. I may be wrong but i would like to see what he says about how long he waited though. Just for clarification.

If you truly had respect for handicapped people or their situation, you wouldn't be showing your derriere like you are in this thread. But, as it is...

But there should be patience shown if the truck blocks in an able-bodied driver, right?

Apples to oranges. I'll let you do some soul searching to figure out why.

I talked about this to the UPS driver that stops at our business. His opinion? Inexcusable, no matter how quick it was. That's from a driver of over thirty years with UPS.

^ I stand corrected as it was a delivery driver. BUT, blocking three? Bad.....blocking one? Not bad, IMO.....some patience could have been shown by lawildcat as well....sounds like it all went down in about 3-4 minutes.

 

You try being patient with someone when someone you love is struggling just to get out of the car while hooked up to oxygen, it's cold, and you have to get them inside the building from farther away than you anticipated. I thought I handled it extremely well with lots of patience. The younger me would have been marching into the building and hunting this jerk down while calling to track down who he works for so they would know as well. I waited a good 10 minutes after getting my mom inside just to wait for the guy to appear. Imagine how many other people were denied those spaces in that time frame.

That's inexcusable.

In part I blame the businesses themselves as well for this. If they are going to be expecting deliveries on a daily basis, can then not have a deliveries only parking spot? Ive seen them before, we have one here, where 4 buildings share one parking lot.

BTW - thankfully there were 2 wheelchair ramps because he was blocking one of those as well.

I find it sad that it is okay for anyone that is not legitimately in physical need to choose a handicapped spot based on convenience. If you're not doing it yourself, but excusing the actions of others - equally sad.

LA, I have been in a similar situation with my mother when she was alive. There are so many things to worry about. Someone taking a HC spot when they shouldn't just adds to the overall worry and angst.

I'm ok with that.

This doesn't make any sense. Why is it okay in your book for a delivery driver to block one spot but not 3?

1/3

Why not just get rid of handicap parking then? I mean if its not a big deal to block the spots then why have them.

 

Look....paint me as the bad guy....I don't really care, NOR DO I PRACTICE IT....but.....to take a handicap spot, for 1-2 minutes...is ok with me......anything longer? I have a problem with...same as blocking the road for a delivery, etc....
