DEL MAR, CA - Apparently since he was just in the striped area, he
didn't feel it was part of the handicapped spot, or that he was
obstructing the view of a narrow driveway.

I never used to see businesses hijacking handicapped spots, but over
the past few months it's become quite commonplace in the San Diego
area. Is this a new trend, or did I just never notice what
inconsiderate jackasses people are?

I've seen it for a number of years.. It's the folks for whom logical
thinking is a pipe dream..

If you feel like it, call the police.. the striped area is considered part
of the handicapped space, and carries the same penalties (currently
about $300 in Palo Alto, your rate may vary depending on how greedy the
county gets with admin fees, etc..)

I suspect you could do the same if the space is blocked with boxes, or
other store crap, unless they have additional spaces temporarly designated.

People who are dropping somerthing off or picking something up seem to
feel they have the right to double park, park in the driveway, park on
the sidewalk - basically park wherever they want. From the UPS truck
driver to the guy in the F150 who's delivering pizzas, these people
feel they are "special" and are entitled to block everybody else for
the sake of their own convenience.

A lot of us don't believe in special treatment for handicapped people.
More discrimination.

And yet this guy was there when I got there, and still there when I
left. And I had time to legally park, go figure...

That makes no difference to these IBJAMs. A legal parking spot could
be 5 feet away, but they'll never use it - after all, that's 5 extra
feet they would have to walk.

BTW, since I know someone is going to ask, IBJAM stands for I'll Be
Just A Minute. It refers to the people who believe that temporal
brevity is the equivalent of diplomatic licence plates, allowing them
to park wherever they want as long as their vehicle is blocking
traffic for "just a minute."

The worst seem to be around hospital entrances. The are signs all over
that you can only load and unload passengers, yet, there are those that
park and leave their vehicle right there. When I come across them, I try
to manuver so my wheel chair lift will block their leaving but allow
other traffic to pass.

I was in San Francisco yesterday, and I parked on the sidewalk.
