My roomie last year had knee surgery. We used his handicap pass to park EVERYWHERE on campus. It was sweet.

What really grinds my gears is the non-specific use of "fuel efficient" and "low emissions" terms on parking.

GIVE ME A FUCKING NUMBER

I love it when someone else says what I've also been thinking. High five!

It's just businesses trying to make a nice gesture towards pregnant women that they hope will be appreciated and result in more business. When someone tries to make pregnancy spaces the law of the land, that's when you should be worried.


:thumbup: It's called courtesy, same as why I didn't go into that Acura thread and bash how ugly dipping the front end of the beaked car looks. Oh whoops.

Passive aggressive trolling doesn't win the race Jake / DJ! Stop being typical millenials and work hard for your glory. Frankly, I don't know how my age group gets lumped in with you generational commoners.

I never said I have a problem with other people getting perks I don't get. I have no problem with people getting a perk because they earned it (military, frequent flier status) or because they didn't have a choice and need the help (handicapped). It seems silly to me that the only 12 spaces in the entire parking lot that are open right before dinnertime at a Harris Teeter are reserved for pregnant people instead of handicapped people, or in lieu of that the general population. What I do agree with is G's comment about the reasoning for it, that's no surprise. HT is a client of ours and they are legitimately scared of Publix's move into this market because they are getting dominated.

It seems there are others, intelligent women included, who agree with me :dunno:

Sooooooooo park in 'em? I feel like this is the same shit as the painted "stop" in a parking lot. Guess what? A stop sign is a red octagon, and just because you spraypaint something on the pavement you'd like me to do don't mean I'm gonna do it.

What's someone gonna do? See your able-bodied, big-dicked self trot out of harris teeter with your chard and gluten free cookies and call the cops? Man, fuck 'em. When I had the STI I parked in the "fuel efficient" spots all the time at best buy. It was more fuel efficient than a lot of cars, so, you know, fucks given: 0.

If you'd like to tell me how I haven't worked hard for the great job, nice house, and weekend track car setup I have, I'd love to hear it. Go right ahead.

Also, I'm pretty sure there's no "passive aggression" going on here. It's pretty obvious that our views on nearly everything are 180* apart.

He is trolling on that. If he isn't he is far more stupid than I thought. Don't fall for it Jake!

Heh, I'm not really falling for it in the sense of getting butthurt. I guess I'm just tired of trolling that isn't really very good (not exclusive to Lee) lately.

Eat a 9lb dick. Our generation graduated into the great recession and we bust more ass than anyone. We can also spell millennial.

For all the shade you throw about the pussification of America, do you not see the hypocrisy in bitching about "coddle culture" in the same breath you bitch the grocery stores are infringing on your freedoms by suggesting certain spots be reserved for certain people?

Shut the fuck up and waddle your ass 20 more feet. Or be an asshole and park in the spot, it's a sign not a cop.
