Disabled car park.

I would never park in a disabled parking spot wherever it was.

Likewise I never park in a parent and child space unless I have the youngest GC with me.

If there comes a time when I or DH become disabled it would be good to think that others are like minded.

I personally wouldn't have used the disabled parking, especially as you were able to park elsewhere. I would always leave the disabled spaces for those who really need them.

Sin? Some of the Jesuits I know would class it as a venal sin, as if one is not disabled, parking in the lot reserved for those with disabilities is acting a lie and therefore being dishonest.

A sin?
Hardly BUT, quite possibly an offence considering
1) private land
2) you are not disabled (I assume)
And also
3) you were able to park on the grass
What are you complaining about?

I will probably get abuse for my take on this but anyway. Yesterday we decided to do a walk starting from a car park at a leisure centre and walking through woods. When we arrived we were surprised to see the normally quiet park completely filled up and discovered it was because a children's event was on. After driving round my friend parked on grass a distance away.
As we came back I noticed that the disabled park at the back was empty and said we could have parked there without a fine as it was on private land.
My friend disagreed.
Would it have been such a sin?
