I'm not feeling the need to "get so defensive," I just merely pointed out that the morals and values, IMO, of the posters on this board are backwards. I don't feel badly about parking in stork parking, as I have said over and over again, when I have many, many packages to carry into and/or out of the store. I don't think it's discourteous. I also think those that are trying to justify my discourtesy by stating that I am taking a spot away from an imaginary nine month pregnant woman who HAS to get a carseat from BRU with a crazy deal coupon are r-e-a-l-l-y s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g to make me seem like some villain.
In no way did I try to paint you as a villain. To me, *that* is really stretching. I was nice and agreed with your opinion, but was just posing a situation where maybe you could see the other viewpoint, as most would understand your part of the view of the hassle of schlepping around constantly.
IMO, villains need to have karma come around, which would mean:
one day you will be without your DC, with tons of packages to carry into the store. You will feel self-entitled to priority parking, and go to use the parking spot you aren't supposed to use, but will attempt to anyway.
And instead of you making to the spot first, a car will pull in that will contain a person with no packages, bags, or boxes. And you will likely feel a brief moment of annoyance. You will think to yourself, "But *I* should have got that spot; I have all these packages and that lady has none!! I deserve it more than her!"
And i'm sure *that* is what every pregnant woman or lady with a child feels when you take a spot that is deserved to her.
Eh, I doubt it. But I love how you can see into the future and know how I will FEEL in another IMAGINARY situation.
Look, ish happens. Sometimes you get the spot, sometimes you don't. I don't sweat it if I don't get the spot, it's just another schlep out of the 86537856738567 schleps I have made in my life. No big deal. But I'll tell you one thing, if I am ever 9 months pregnant in August, unable to walk or breathe, I would NOT be headed to BRU and getting myself all worked up over stupid stork parking. ...laughing...

But that's my point! Why, if you are so pregnant that you have trouble BREATHING, would you possibly have any reason to go to BRU? You can have it delivered to your door! I know BRU's S&H is outrageous, but it's worth its weight in gold when and if you are in that delicate condition.
I can answer this: Many of us are *not* married to attorneys.

Not that it's anyone's business, but my husband is the head of the Brooklyn Bar Association's Volunteer Lawyers Project. He dedicated his career and JD to helping those who are less fortunate and can not afford legal help. He works more pro-bono cases than he does paid ones. He's not some fat cat, cigar smoking, 350 an hour lawyer sitting in a leather chair in his corner office, but since you brought him up, that's who he is.

It has nothing to do with entitlement, it has to do with the way it is. Look, in my neighborhood parking is scarce, people "hold" spots for others by standing in them, putting a garbage bag...whatever...is it right or fair? Who is to say?
But I'm done with this thread...too many of you ladies are getting a bit too moist for my comfort...
Ack! I've never been the victim of the gang before...I feel like I've been de-virginized! Not in a good way. Blyat!

That's not what I'm insinuating at all. What I'm insinuating is that YOU have the option. Many do not, simple fact of life, and I'm sorry you don't get that.

If you have a car that you can pump gas into, you can afford BRU's shipping and handling charges if your pregnancy is preventing you from BREATHING. It's a simple fact of life and math, if you really want to get down to it. I'm sorry you don't get that.

Nope, sorry, I disagree. You can make that assertion as vehemently as you like, but that doesn't make it true, and THAT is a simple fact of life and math, IMHO.
Look I don't even have a problem with you using the damnstork spot, do whatever you like, if you're prepared to do that and deal with the evil eye from the moms2b and moms with little ones, go for it. But don't claim the moral high ground for it, that's ridiculous.

Re: Spinoff to the non parent thread...
It's COMMON COURTESY and DECENCY. That's what it comes down to.
Who gives a damn if you have no help? Everyone's got a sob story.
It's just disgusting really.
I do 70 on the Southern State. I lie. However something as SIMPLE as NOT parking in a spot clearly marked for someone else - it's a no-brainer. Just because I'm not perfect doesn't mean I'm a discourteous asss in all the other areas of my life.
It's not like I go home and say to myself - well I blasted the speed limit on the SS so I might as well be a schmuck and park in stork parking.
I really can't believe that you even admit to doing it. Like you're proud.
Same with low emissions parking at the outlets - the amount of SUVs and Hummers I see - it's mind-boggling.

I don't see why you feel the need to get so defensive. The truth of the matter is that you stated you do what is best for YOU and your life, regardless of the "rules". So with that, move on. It's your life and you apparently do what you want in this situation. You can't possibly be surprised that people passing judgement comes with being discourteous to others.
Forgive me for my ignorance on the subject, but "Stork" parking is a RULE? I never saw it when I lived on L.I.(granted I've been gone for 2 years). I've never seen it down here in S.C. If it's a "RULE", why isn't it at every store? I thought it was a courtesy, sort of like holding the door, giving up a seat, or cleaning up the booth at a restaurant after your kid trashed it. Courtesies of society but not rules or laws (i.e. handicapped parking). Could someone please explain? You actually get a ticket? Car gets towed? What?
By "rules" I meant rules of etiquette which is something enitrely different from the law.

Re: Spinoff to the non parent thread...
It's the "me, me, me!" mentality that is so disturbing to me.....Courtesy has flown out the window for some people, it's sad, really.
I have 10-month old twins and I take them to the store quite often. I have tendonitis in BOTH elbows and lifting even my lightweight stroller out of the trunk hurts, lifting my own children hurts....but I deal with it. I never use the spot because I leave it for others who need it more than I. Would it be more convenient for me? It sure would.
When I was PG with my twins, I think I used the stork parking spot at BRU once....It was hot outside and I had a few things to return. It was nice to use it and I appreciated it.

Maybe that Shipping money is money needed for GAS....for many thats reality.
Once again, your logic makes no sense.
I feel you thought you would not be alone in your behavior and now realizing you are and are being attacked...for good reason...your just grasping at straws to defend your actions.
Your right this thread went on long enough, hopefully it opened your eyes...I doubt it did...I'm just glad you don't live near me and my BRU

Re: Spinoff to the non parent thread...
The smart, caring, and unselfish person would not park in stork parking, leave their item with the cashier until they pulled their car up front, and then "shlepped" the item to their car. See? It's easy! I do it ALLLLL the time if I have something that I can't carry. I am in pretty good physical shape and I still park as far away as possible when I go shopping. Not only that, but I am a snot and I do not like parking next to people if I can avoid some dings and scratches.
