If you park in them, and you can walk fairly well (even if you have a temporary handicap placard), you're an asshole. If you park in the lined area to either side of the spot, you're an asshole, especially if your vehicle is sort of half in/half out of the spot.
Basically, unless you're in a wheelchair and have a vehicle that requires extra space on the sides so you can get in and out, or you have a legit problem walking, DON'T FUCKING PARK THERE. It's not fucking rocket science, and the extra fucking walking will likely do some good, you fucking lazy fucks.
Everywhere around here, people with temporary placards take up van spots with their little econo-shitboxes because they're fucking lazy. Most of them can walk just fine, either without assistance or with a walker or cane. THOSE SPOTS ARE NOT FOR YOU. The lined section is so fucking wheelchair lifts have room to work. And there's a very limited number of those spots in public places, so if they're all filled by lazy fucks, it's that much more difficult for me to actually get into the public sphere so I don't lose my fucking mind staying at home.
Don't do it. And if you have done it, stop.
This is why I haven't applied for disabled plates, though I could easily get them. With a cane or walking stick, I walk passbly well.
