Yes, but the number of spaces is not arbitrary. It is defined by the ADA and building codes based on the total number of parking spaces in the lot.

I've come to terms with it, accepted it. ...sometimes, the ramps annoy be a little still, though.

I'm never annoyed at numbers. I save my annoyance for people.

I can admit I do get annoyed but I do think it's good to have many handicap spaces. It's just human nature, you can't help but get annoyed if you can't find somewhere to park.

No.

I get annoyed at the people who park blocking traffic because they don't want to walk a few feet.

What's the problem with having to walk a little?

I've found that state regulations are in place to help ensure there are the appropriate number of spaces for the venue. If the regulations are being followed, then there's no reason to get annoyed. You will find more spaces outside, say, facilities for offering physical therapy, because more are needed. You'll find fewer outside hair salons or exercise gyms. And, frankly, I suspect that the people who are annoyed that there are so many handicapped spaces would howl with rage if they were someday handicapped and not enough handicapped spaces were available.

No, apart from at my local tram stop; there's a park and ride scheme for handicapped perople only. There's about 8 spaces, and only ever seems to be 2 people parked.

Only once, that I remember. It was at an outlet mall in Florida. They seemed to have way more than they needed. Very few of them had people parked there. Mostly, I don't notice, though. Most places I go have the first 2 or 3 spots on each aisle reserved. That doesn't bother me at all.

No, but it depends on what their "handicap" is. The law these days says you can't even ask someone about what their handicap is, even though you have to provide them with proper services for something you dont even know what you're providing.

I just read that they now have this thing called "emotional pets" disability where someone "deeply" distressed is supposed to be allowed to bypass the no animals policies in most areas. I would think its pretty reasonable to ask that if you want to be able to park in the handicap space, your disability should have somelthing to do with your ability to walk.

I really like Carlos Mencia's resolution to the problem  * yes *

Sure as hell do! I think if all the handicapped people in my town were at Walmart at the same time, they might still have a couple handicapped spaces left over. At least the rest of us are getting more exercise, so if we don't get too steamed up about the inequity of the situation and have a coronary over it, maybe we'll outlive them because we're more active and therefore more healthy.

Yeh, I mean, just cause they might only have one leg it doesn't mean they shouldn't walk like the rest of us. Tsk.
