First it was handicapped. No problem. Even though it seems like there's way too many and they're always empty and now it's just a bunch of fatties abusing what handicapped means.

then you had expectant mother slots. Sure. You're dealing with a lot.

Then it was veterans. Eh, ok. Sure. You gave time to the military, I'll walk an extra 10 feet for you.

Now it's curbside pickup. Hell no. I'm parking In Those spots 100% of the time.
 
I never understood why some people are so averse to walking. I know people who will literally drive around a parking lot for 5 minutes so they can park 50 feet closer to the doors. I'll park away from everybody and walk the extra 30 seconds.

Yup once I developed the beer belly I started parking far away on purpose just to get a few extra steps in.

It's great. Not only do I get a tiny bit of exercise, but it completely removes any stress about fighting for parking spots.

Yeah me too, I love the luxury of opening the door up fully to get out, plus to get the kid out the back it's even handier.

It’s one of the key examples of the fat lazy brain rot that has completely taken over today’s society

I'd rather park at the end of the lot where no one is so there's less of a chance of some moron opening their door into mine.

This. Or considering the state of my old clunker , I'm not afraid of hitting someone's pride and joy...

So you’re the asshole parked in my spot while I’m trying to pick up my order!?!?

This one place had nice wide stalls and suddenly they changed them to "reserved" which I realized too late and just left my car there like normal.

My issue is the places that are just obnoxious with reserved parking to the point where you go there at night and none of them are being used and main parking lot is now far more crowded than it should be with people squeezed towards the back(since fewer people who use handicap spots are going there later). Some lots are too small to begin with.

one of my old co workers was like this. Whenever we’d go get lunch I offered to drive to avoid that shit. They’d get road rage battling other people for a parking spot up front rather than just park two rows further lol.
 
Handicap?: respect for sure
Curbside pickup? respect, do you know how bad curbside pickup would be if the person bringing out the order had to walk all over a huge parking lot?
Expected mother? I respect, but part of me thinks they should just get a handicap pass from their doctor. If I was a woman I'd probably not respect it, but I don't want to set off a Karen.
Vet? Nope, not at all. I don't believe in giving special rights to soldiers--I typically only see this at business that cater to conservatives, it's virtue signaling to get more customers.
Green / Electric vehicle (without a charge station)? No way, I actually go out of my way to park my gas guzzler in those spots. My 20+ yo 13mpg car pollutes less than people who buy a new tesla every 4 years.

As a Combat Veteran i am 100% with you on this one. Companies like that are "doing something" without doing anything. Theres no real benifit to vets by letting them park close....other than the visual virtue signal...

However, if i find out a company gives heavily financial or product support to veterans charity/groups that actually help, i support that. Extra points if they do it quietly and not make a spectacle of themselves....
 
I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't seen anything except the handicap parking spots.
