My grandma died in 2009 and at the time I was driving a worn out pathfinder and my mom and aunt gave me her 05 impala. There was a handicap tag that didn't expire for about 6 months. I didn't even consider using it. So I promise Eric, this isn't jealously that that guy got a good spot and I didn't.

Ok, so let me ask you this, are you assuming that the guy who parked in the handicapped spot wasn't the one the tag was issued to?? If he wasn't the one it was issued to, I can see where that might be a tad annoying, but again, who am I to say anything at that point??

I'll also say that if it's truly about making it easier on the handicap person then if they're being driven by someone else then drop them off at the door. That's what I did when I went places with my grandma. We drove her car and I dropped her off and picked her up at the door.

That's a very good gesture too.

Yes. I obviously don't know for a fact but I seriously doubt it was for him. He had a permanent license plate one. Sorry but that guy wasn't permanently handicapped.

If he wasn't the one the tag was issued to, then that's on him. If he was the one that it was issued to, then honestly this shouldn't even be an issue to you, but that's coming from my eyes and experiences.
