Do I Look Pregnant To You?
After my lab midterm, I took a little detour to CVS to get a Go Lean bar, and a 7UP Plus(very good by the way). When I pulled into the parking lot, I searched for a place to park. I bypassed all of the handicapped spaces, and took the first available spot. When I looked up at the side of the building, there was a sign that read, "For pregnant mothers only". I had already taken my key out of the ignition, and was not in the mood to find another spot. I hesitated for a minute, and said screw it. I was wearing big clothes, so I could have been pregnant. How could they have proven it anyways? "Here miss, please pee on this stick so that we can verify your parking location". I have respect for pregnant women, don't get me wrong, but will the spot stay empty all day if a pregnant woman does not shop? I respect handicapped spaces, because I live with a slow moving 80 year old, and because I don't want to pay the ticket. How about a sign reading, "Parking for tired college students". We could use some of those at school, so much so, that I have considered purchasing a 4X4 vehicle simply so that I can off- road with the monster trucks. Why has parking become such a large part of my day? If you ever need me first thing in the morning, I will be driving ring road aimlessly, in search of a place to put my PT Cruiser.

Those spots are not legally enforceable. I often park in the 'person with infant' spot at the Stop & Shop. It's almost guarenteed to be open and right up front. And I can't legally get a ticket, so it should be renamed "parking for Rebe".
