The only specialty parking I have a gripe with is green spots - spot designated for low emission vehicles. They have these at the closest liquor store to me, and it's an absolute joke. I've got to amend this: I'm also against take-out only parking at places like Chili's, Uno's, etc.

It makes a lot of sense for stores like Toys R Us/Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby and other stores where expecting mothers might take several trips to.

While we're at it, I'm never holding a door open for an old woman ever again.

While we're at it, I'm never holding a door open for an old woman ever again. Yeah and while we are at it, lets remove all brail from the walls. Why should blind people always get to massage their fingertips on the little bumpy brail dots along the wall? And why should they get to bring their seeing eye dog into a place that doesn't allow animals? Why can't everyone have a seeing eye dog? And Dr. Hulk guy, if kindness equals weakness then that tells me somewhat the kind of person you are.

I see no reason why pregnant women should get preferential treatment. Theres 3 pages of in depth explanations of why pregnant women should get preferential treatment. The explanations are broken down for you, into simple ideas you should easily be able to wrap your head around. And yet, you choose not to.

I find it ironic that the only place in my area that actually has stork parking is Lowe's.

I would also be okay with closer parking spots for the Elderly. I would also be okay with not giving handicapped parking permits to the obese. When I go to the store I always park at the end anyways, its usually quicker than trying to find a spot or trying to park where there are more people and cars. A little walking for us young people isn't the end of the world.

That's the problem I have with handicap spots being in the front of the lot, why does it matter where they are? I know they need the extra room to get out but, they have wheels. 1. Not everyone handicapped is in a wheel chair. Some use walkers, canes, and other devices to help them be more mobile. 2. Pushing a wheel chair isn't as easy as you might think. This place has always been full of idiots, but christ, lately everyone has become a bunch of selfish bungholes. it's not like the stork parking is at every store. It is almost always only at maternity stores, specialty stores like Babies R Us, Toys R Us, and at a few shopping malls. It's usually no more than 1 or 2 spaces. How dare people inconvienance me by 10 feet by being curteous and helpful to the freaking handicapped and pregnant. And obviously, none of you have been close to anyone who is pregnant, because even if they aren't HUGE, it is still very difficult to get around. Seriously, maybe take a step back and look at yourselves, and think about if you really want to be "that" guy. Ive been in a wheelchair, not bad and most are electric these days

The only place here I have ever seen stork parking is Toys R Us. Which makes total sense to me. I don't think that it really deprives anyone of a spot. Let's say a woman is 8 and 1/2 months pregnant, and goes to Toys R Us with her husband. If it just so happens that the baby wants out, it's nice to know they can get to their car quickly, and not spend extra time going through the parking lot.
The thing that kills me is people that will sit and wait for someone to leave their spot for 15 minutes, when there is a spot just a little further away they could park in. That has gotten really bad recently here. Where I work, every aisle has a car just sitting idle, waiting for someone who is packing their bags into their car. The time spent waiting on them is huge compared to the time it would take to park 5 spots down, and walk. Insane.

Not to mention when I'm eventually backing out of a spot, I can't go the way I want to because they're blocking my way. In some cases, my mom would do the same thing and I would simply get out of the car and walk into the store.
