Not here in Canada!

I once saw an argument in the street between a non-handicapped idiot, and a non-handicapped gentlemen with high moral standards

Here in the UK you would be extremely lucky to get a response unit to attend an unlawful parking call.

Best ring in and say you are witnessing an actual attempted theft of a vehicle.....the response would/should be quick and on arrival the officers will sum up the situation themselves and blister (fixed penalty ticket) the windscreen automatically

Heh, that's pretty messed-up. A little funny, but messed up.

I'm not gonna lie, though - there's nothing more annoying to me than going to a store with a full parking lot and empty handicapped spots.

Why would you claim the other two vehicles could not enter or exit their vehicles? There is clear enough room on both sides to drive a motorcycle thru.

Meh, I'll bite.

The whole reason that the yellow striped "No parking" zone is there is to give people in wheelchairs room to use the car elevator to get off. Because someone parked there, whoever's using the handicapped spot will be unable to enter their car, and will have to wait until the other guy comes back.

The handicapped don't use motorcycles

It is just a few rows.

And if you think you are having a hard time. Imagine how difficult it is to struggle through the entire lot because *******s think handicaps are nothing but old geezers. Now add to that how you can't instantly jump out of the way if some drunk or madman screams down the lot.

I most seriously beg to differ, you should try parking in London Borough of Camden, they'd fine you for stepping on the cracks in the pavement.
