I have often seen legally occupied handicapped parking spaces. 
I have also seen parking lots which were not full, with illegally occupied 
handicapped spaces.  Meanwhile I spend twenty minutes escorting my mother,
who is handicapped, from the far end of the parking lot. 
(Often I just drop her off and go park the car, but she does travel by
herself quite often.)

So, if it really pains you not to be able to park in those spaces, I suggest
you step in front of a car and join the privileged class of the handicapped.

(If the parking lot is full, stay home! That's what many handicapped people
must do if they can't use the special spaces! But I bet you can ride the
bus easier than they can...)
