Faking disability to access a sold out event

[Buck]

On my flight from Las Vegas to San Diego a couple weeks ago, this lady who was like 40 years old was in a wheelchair so she could get on the plane first. Someone pushed her on and put her luggage in the stowaway bin for her. When the plane landed she was the first one to stand up get her bag and walk off the plane.

I was pissed.

I think it's funny when people rush to get on the plane. It's like, where are you going? To sit in the seat you're going to be in for three hours?

I've never quite understood that, either. I guess they want to cramp up their knees as soon as possible.

Well, if you fly Southwest, it's open seating and I almost always carry on so I want to make sure I get my bag in the overhead. So get the hell out of my way!

I see a lot of 40 somethings driving Caddies around here wearing bedroom slippers and PJ's that park in the Handicapped zone. They don't look too handicapped other than the way they dress in public.

It's two things for me:

1) To make sure that I get overhead space.

2) I'm usually asleep before the wheels are up.

When it's boarding time I gladly get on first. And if you seen me trying to walk you'd understand. When the plane lands however I stay seated until the last able body gets his shit together & gets off the plane. I know folks are more excited to get off a plane & I'm used to sitting so what's another 5-10 minutes.

But parking...it's all about the parking. I don't have to park in the stalls any more but with my other ride I needed to build/dismantle my chair with the drivers door wide open. I won't say anything to someone that looks physically fine if they have a permit. It's the ones parking in the stalls w/o anything that I enjoy mentioning some thing to.
