This idea started a couple of months ago when I where having breakfast with my wife at our local Wimpy in Centurion.
So here is the scenario:
The parking lot where empty bare for 3 cars including my old 1997 dust bucket. There are 2 parking bays for
handicapped users and the centre management have small sign boards that they place on these spots to ensure their availability when a person with a real need gets to the centre.
Well, whilst having breakfast I saw a brand new extremely expensive
German vehicle pull in to the parking lot, eventually stopping right
in front of one of the little sign boards mentioned. All of a sudden the driver started to hoot - worse than any taxi driver would ever be able to - at the security guard standing right next to the
handicapped parking bay. The driver where
adamant to park in the said spot,
even though there must have been
at least 200 parking bays open all around this spot. The security guard walked up to the
driver side door and I assume
preceded to explain to the frustrated driver that the parking spot where for a specific use only.
At this point I started to scan over the vehicle to see if there might be one of those stickers displayed that would indicate that the driver where
indeed a handicapped person, but didn't have any luck to locate it.
The security guard eventually gave up and moved their reserved sign to grant access to the parking bay. When the blond
stepped out of the vehicle I immediately realised that she had an invisible wheelchair, and from then on I
always thought that I needed to do a site / page where we can get people like that exposed.
