I was at Walmart with my mom today.  Mom has a bad leg so she has one of those handicapped stickers that I put on my rear view mirror.  We park in the handicap stalls.  Well, as I was helping mom get into the car, some women started honking her for me to hurry up so she could have the spot.  Mom is well--handicapped, she moves slower than some people want her too.  This person also has a handicap sticker but was REAL impatient, she kept honking, I smiled and wavved at her, what else could I do?  I had the legal right to be parked there, but I guess the honker didnt think so.  Some people.

(((hugs)))  Yeah, its that time of the year again.

Oh my!  I can't imagine what was going thru that woman's brain (if she had one)!  The handicapped parking spots are there as a convenience - they are not an entitlement!  Shesh!  I would assume that most everyone that uses the handicpped spots are probably a bit slower than the average person.  I've used handicapped stickers for myself, my mother, my MIL and my grandfather.  Believe me - we were ALL slow at getting into and out of our cars!

You and your mother were doing nothing wrong - your response was the correct one - acknowledge the person and continue on with what you were doing.  No reason to hurry on her part.
