I must admit that one of the very few things I anally hold sacred is handicapped parking zones. My mom has one and if we're in a car with someone else and we're stopping at, say, a store and it's only me getting out and going in for something quick, I insist that they park away from the zones, even if my mom wants to use it. I can walk a few more feet and I can just picture some old dude collapsing in the last few feet to the doors because he had to park a slot further back. :D
