handicapped spots are reserved!!

So, I have this friend whose name i will leave anonymous...everytime she goes in a public bathroom she heads straight for the handicap stall. I always found this interesting and one day i asked her why that was the case. Well, she felt like it was just more comfortable--a little bigger and more room to meditate in! Well, that makes sense, i guess! All i can think of now is a funny and kinda embarrassing thing that happened to me and a good friend in high school...and it had to do with a handicapped stall, but not in the bathroom!
Katie and I pulled into Target and couldn't find the perfect parking spot...in other words we would have had to walk across the whole parking lot to get into the store. Well, being the lazy Americans that we are i just zipped into a handicapped stall thinking it would be no big deal. Heck yes, Front row! Plus, we were only going to be in the store for a few minutes. HA! Not if some old man could help it! Just as i stood up out of the car, barely long enough to shut the door, there was this ticked off old man in his car who blew his horn at us. He proceeded to lift his right hand off the steering wheel and shake his index finger at us. AAgghhh. He KNEW that was his spot! I busted up laughing...of course, the one time i DO park in the handicap spot i get busted!!! It's not like there weren't 12 more of them all around me! So, Katie and i got back in the car and parked in outer darkness and made the hike into Target! HA HA
The moral of the story is: Crystal, you better watch out where you park that thing, cuz handicapped spots are reserved!!!

LOL! That is too funny. It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where George's car is vandalized because he parked in a handicapped spot.

I always go for the handicapped stall in the bathrooms, especially at WSU. The one upstairs has an automatic flusher, which is great for lazy people like me. The one downstairs offers complete privacy for when you really need it. Trust me, I spent many a clinic session down there...

Ha!
Jami, I love this post! I have to tell you that i do get really disappointed when I go into the bathroom and my beloved stall is taken. It's just not the same sitting in a cramped little space and then having to stand up and flush the toilet myself. I have to conquer with Maria, one of my motivating factors for the handicapper stall is the automatic flusher, YAY!!
