the unbearable banishment: no friend to the handicapped

I have never—and would never—park in a handicapped spot. I thank jeebus I don’t need one and curse anyone who would do something like that.

But while at A Company Called Malice, Inc., I always use the handicapped stall in the men‘s room. It’s more spacious and usually cleaner.

While in disposed yesterday, I tapped out a few text messages. I like to multi-task. Took my time doing it, too.

I finished up, opened the door and the new compliance officer—the one in the wheel chair—was giving me the evil fish eye. I didn’t hear him wheel in and have no idea how long he’d been waiting. I heard other people walk in and out so he had to sit through that.

Poor Ed McMahon. Even in death, he's a second banana.

Too bad the guy in the wheelchair didn't have a cell phone jammer - that would sped up your texting.

Sid: You can imagin how I felt.

Jeff: I think that EVERYONE should have a cell phone jammer. They're so cheap! Why not?

Jason: I was particularly sorry that I peed on the seat.

Jimmy: I think I was hell bound long before this happened.

When the child was younger, I always used the handicapped stall in the washroom. Always. You can't manage baby/toddler, often stroller and large bag plus usually shopping bags in those knee-knockers that pass as toilets. I was militant about it. If place didn't have the foresight to have a family washroom, I used that biggest stall. Everywhere. And only a handful of times did I get the evil eye which I met squarely with my own "don't eff with me right now" glare.

Pissing off the wheelchair guy is going to be bad kharma for you at some future date.

Annie: I didn't do it on purpose! I had no idea he was out there. Won't the fates take that into account?

Bad karma is bad karma, regardless of whether you knew or not.

Ignorance is no excuse.

You are screwed, mister.

I'm a big fan of handicapped access and respecting their parking spots; but I'm with you ... I feel not shame at using the handicapped stall. I sometimes have to wait ... they can too. That's called equality.
