CBS 46 has the same pet peeve that one of our listeners, Allison, has as well. Okay. And I think we have all seen it, and I've got to be totally honest with you, I've done it before also. Not often, but at least one time I was guilty at doing this. I can never, ever do it. Yeah. It's karma to me me i can't even remember what my excuse was in my head

0:21.8

for doing it but i borrowed my mother-in-law's handicap no i remember us being mad at you and she

0:29.3

wasn't in the car with you she wasn't in the car with me what was i using that for it's horrible was it

0:33.5

was it christmas shopping at the mall or something no it wasn't that so something like that. No, it wasn't that. So I've never borrowed anyone's sticker, but I'll never, I will never, even if it, and it bugs me because the post office near my house has three handicapped spots right in front of it that are always open. And then for whatever reason, it's a huge pain in the butt to get to any other like all the other parking spots are way down the aisle and I'm tempted

0:57.8

1:04.5

two handicapped spots with the big I think it's for the van you know what I

Yeah, I remember what the circumstance was now. It was during my knee rehabilitation. Do you remember that? And I was driving around my mother-in-law's truck because it had more leg room. I couldn't get into my

1:28.4

350. Right. So I had the crutches in the back and I was late for one of my rehab appointments.

1:33.7

And at Northside, they have, or it's saying Northside, I have a whole bunch of those handicapped

1:38.2

on. I did it in a hospital. I did. I did. And I justified it by saying, look, there are 15 handicapped spots here, and they're not going to miss one.

1:48.4

Plus, I got a bum knee.

1:49.8

1:51.7

Now, the bum knee, I will say you do get more points for the bum knee.

1:55.8

A little bit, but not.

1:57.4

A little bit, but not totally.

1:57.8

Not much.

1:58.6

No, no.

1:59.6

It's a slightly more. No. No. You're right, I don't. No. But I mean, you probably could have. There's a little gray area, but not much. You probably could have gotten your own. Yes, I could have. Because of your knee. CBS 46, tell me about this, Jeff, because they are doing a feature on this very thing, right?
