I have had thoughts similar to the co-worker. I once saw someone park in the only handicapped spot in front of a bank, while there were other regular spots just as close still open. I remember thinking, if that person only took the regular spot, at no further a walk, it would have left the handicapped spot open for someone else who needed it as the regular parking spots filled up. (Since the regular spots fills up far quicker and the handicapped spots are far fewer.) Had that guy taken a regular spot that was really no further than the handicapped spot, the only precious handicapped spot would have been available for the next person. I mean, just because you are entitled to a handicapped space doesn't mean you HAVE TO use it if there is another close spot available. I try to think ahead of how my actions will affect others.
