What's the deal with fat people getting the blue pass?!

Why is that nearly every fat ass out there who can't stop eating cheeseburgers or walk a few extra hundred miles each day can stand in line (for a few hours) at the DMV and register for handicapped plates or hangers?!  I just don't understand the mentality.  Wouldn't you want to walk the extra oh I don't know, 25 feet each way?  I understand your knees may hurt but c'mon, who's fault is that?  Almost two thirds of the time I'm looking for a space I see Sherly and her three obese children getting out of their Buick or Oldsmobile.

Now on the flip side of this argument, I don't see why someone like me who is simply in a wheelchair and fully capable of rolling the extra 25 feet should get a plate or hanger either.  I typically only park in the blue because it's easier to get my chair out of the side of my van.  Yes I could park farther back in the lot but their is always that one person who parks on the side I use to get in.  Then I "have to" scratch their car trying to get into my car and wonder if I'm supposed to feel bad or accomplished.  I just don't think obesity should ever be a reason to get to park in the blue.  Or old people unless of course they can't walk or something like that.  Either way, once they are on wheels, it's less work.  I guess it's hard for the DMV's around the country to say who "needs" one and who doesn't.  Really it's the doctor's fault for writing a letter of recommendation.

Another thing that gets me is why their is usually a shopping cart in the blue spot?!  Every time I see one I think to myself, now what does the asshole look like who thought the big ol' spot next to them was a place for lazy people (probably fat or getting pretty damn fat) to roll their carts.  Not to mention the fifteen year old who has to walk around and collect rouge carts.  It's simply rude!  Return your damn carts people.  What I've learned from years of watching this happen is that it's everyone ... big, fat, small, tall, short, old, young, the works.  No stereo type is left out.  So that makes me feel a little better.  I'd hate to have to blame a certain race or ethnic group.
