    My husband wouldn’t put the cart away.

    But he has cerebral palsy which made walking back to the car without the cart for stability difficult when he was shopping alone. He actively liked if someone left a cart in the handicapped hatch mark area because then it would be close so he could grab that going into the store and be balanced against it.

    He did know it wasn’t ideal though, and I’d take the carts back when I started shopping with him.

      Anyone parking in a handicap spot is the one type of person no one should judge when they don’t put their cart away.

        Shouldn’t, but people absolutely do judge them! They also judge if they think you shouldn’t be in a handicap spot period. So many people get huffy when they see my (what appears to be) able body get out of the car then…oh shit, my visibly disabled husband!

          People getting upset about handicap spots are morons. I’m sure there is some overlap between them and those who don’t return carts.

      Every rule has its exception, it makes sense that physically handicapped people shouldn’t be treated as strictly with rules concerning physical activities.
