Great Expectations?
I think this sign is dumb. What about moms with newborns? Or dads who tote them around for that matter? You can get some thin, first trimester Jazzercise instructor bopping in and out of this space, but the mom with the 3 month-old twins and 3 year-old tossing a tantrum has to park elsewhere? As long as stores are going to have signs setting aside preferential parking spaces for people, they should make them all say "Have Pity On Me Because I Need This Space More Than Most People" and let people decide for themselves if they truly want to put their fellow citizens out by snagging this space for themselves. Just because you've got a handicapped tag or, in this case, are pregnant, doesn't mean you have to take the fewest possible steps. I understand there's a medical study that actually says that exercise and movement is actually beneficial to humans. I park well away from these spaces, not because my car is so awesome (it's a minivan...ugh) but because I'm in good health. And a small way to stay that way is to not drive up and down rows of parking lots, with the blood pressure set to boiling, trying to save myself an extra 24 feet of walking to the entrance of Lane Bryant, the Big and Tall Store or the Cheesecake Factory. Next time I go to this store I'm going to help a pregnant woman and her child by parking here and letting her do a little extra walking.
