My good friend Scott replied to the post titled 'Rules of the Sidewalk.' He brought up the subject of people using handicap parking spaces. Now I'm not going to touch on that specifically, but it did remind me of a trend that I find disturbing.
A local mall that I've visited has put in parking places for expectant moms. Now this seems like a good idea, but the question that must be asked---how is this going to be enforced?! Many times I might think a lady is expecting, but I'm sure not going to bring this up to her unless I know with absolute certainty that she's with child. And now, women everywhere (at least ones within driving distance of this mall) have got great parking spaces lined up for them. Do you think I'm going to be brave enough to challenge any of them..."Ma'am, I don't really think you're expecting..."
It does make me chuckle to think of the mall security guys approaching a lady getting out of her car. Instead of 'license and registration, please' it'll be 'license and ultrasound pictures, please.' And of course, there's no more sobriety tests, instead a pregnancy test could be administered. I'll bet you'd eventually find someone who's stuffed a pillow under the shirt...especially with the holiday coming up. Those parking spots are valuable!
And if it seems like I'm bitter about it, I probably am...
Oh, and by the way....a few more Dr. Pepper caps collected....still no prize.
