All I care about is that someone who needs them more than I do should park there- I can walk, it doesn't bother me-

I do as well.

Personally, I don't mind it when other people who might need a bit more help get it. I thank my stars that I am healthy enough to park further away and walk it. But there might come a day when I need to use those spaces and I hope that others don't begrudge me.

I think they should be labeled "For the Disabled." Most pregnant women don't need it any more than someone who's gone through a tough day at work. However, there are many, young/old, married/single, who are disabled by illness or injury who could really use a shorter walk in.

Yes, me too! And like biancardi, I hope people won't get cranky about my special parking if/when I need it. Hopefully, I won't be driving any more by then anyway.

They'd be labeled PITA spaces.

Actually, the PITA spaces would be fitting for a lot of people.{#emotions_dlg.devil2}

Really. Talk about fighting or waiting for a space to open. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Seriously it seems like the issue is how do they decide who to provide special parking for?

I can walk, doesn't bother me....but it is still curious to me how they decide who merits them.

Utterly ridiculous to have a spot for women who are preggers.
