Hey, Lazy People, Stop Parking In The Handicapped Parking Spots

If you don't have one of the handicap decals, then keep driving and find a new spot.

As we all know, there is a very limited number of handicapped parking spots compared to regular spots. Depending on the size of the parking lot, there is roughly two handicapped parking spots and the rest of the parking lot is normal spots.

Now, I know we all know that there are requirements to be able to park in those handicapped spots. There are some drivers that need those spots. They filled out the proper paperwork and acquired one of those decals, or have it on their license plate because they needed it.

However, you lazy people who park there to avoid a walk do not need a handicapped spot.

One morning, I watched a lady have to use a remote control to open the door to get herself into her wheelchair because she couldn't do it all by herself. This is the kind of person who needs those handicapped spots. She needs that extra room provided to be able to get out and into her wheelchair. She needs the ramp to be able to get from the parking lot onto the sidewalk.

As a college student, I know there is a struggle to find parking spots sometimes, but there is a reason these spots are specially marked.

Just this morning, I had to hike like a mile from my parking spot to my class so I understand, trust me. However, I would never even think of taking up a handicapped spot because I know that those are reserved for people that need those extra spaces and ramps. I don't need those things.

There is no reason that someone like me should be taking up a spot that I don't need. Being lazy is not a reason to park in a handicapped spot.

So, stop being lazy. Walk if you have to walk. Come back at a later time if that's what it will take for you to get a closer spot. But whatever you do, do not take a spot away from someone who really needs it because you don't want to walk. You can deal with the walk like the rest of us because there's nothing wrong with you, other than laziness.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
