When we first got a holiday home in Fl , it was near Disney.

We then noticed a couple of things. They managed to get out of them to shop and eat.
Technick esposed the theory "they are just too enormously fucking fat to walk around!!!"
In the UK at that time the only people in Wheelchairs were pretty fucked 
This led to my theory of always going to the wheelchair area and get one for "poor old auntie"..it is great for carrying shopping and allows you to get better seats for the shows 
Fortunately Technick and myself have expanded into the role of "too fat to walk around"

Oh, I hear you with this story. I *never* expect a wheelchair to be available *anywhere.* (Besides, I couldn't get there from the car, wherever it is.) I've seen perfectly capable people thinking it's just fun to ride the motorized carts at the grocery...leaving some poor elderly person with a cane to just sit on the little bench and wait until the assholes are finished playing bumper carts.
I always check for the placards or license plates on cars in the handicapped spots...and become enraged when they're not there. Just some asshole who decided to use the spot. (A Russian Roulette maneuver, since the fine for that is very high. I live in fear of forgetting to hang the damned placard from the rearview mirror and coming back and finding a ticket.)
I know it doesn't apply to me, Nick, and wouldn't have taken it that way.
