This Moment With Brad is Handicap Complient.
April 30, 2012
Here’s another one of them comics based on a whimsical observation. I have whimsically observed that there are fourty eight handicap parking spaces at my local Home Depot. An observation that’s not all that whimsical on it’s own, but the whimsy grows as you think about. Everyone needs to go to places like grocery stores, or department stores, but Home Depot? All sensitivity aside are the physically handicapped really doing do it yourself home repair? Are they buying lumber, or chainsaws, or bags of cement? How could they?
Now don’t go say something like, “Jared you insensitive twat, how dare you say such things about the handicapped.” Remember I am legally blind, I myself am handicapped. I could get one of them handicap thingers for anyone that drives me anywhere. I choose not to because my handicap doesn’t really effect my mobility that much, and I’d rather have the space go to someone who really needs it.
My point is if you have a handicap that limits your mobility to the point you really need to use a handicap space, you’re probably too disabled to do your own household repairs, or more likely too handicapped to safely transport heavy and/or awkward things like the aforementioned lumber, heavy power tools and fifty pound bags of cement. I understand not everyone goes to Home Depot for stuff like that, but ask yourself, when you look at all the empty spaces in front of the store, do we really need forty eight of them?
