"But those parking spots are VIP..."

I'm currently in school at Ross College. All is going extremely well and I am excited to graduate and start working. Every month, some people begin, some quit and some graduate. Because of that, we go over the rules and "orientation" every month. The only thing that bothers me is the parking situation. There aren't any handicap parking spaces near the school entrance.  The very front row closest to the entrance is unofficially reserved for people coming to look at the school. When I started at Ross, I got specific permission to park there as long as I put my handicap placard up where its visible.  Now, every month, we get told over and over that the spots are off limits to park in. Even though I know I can park there, its really ridiculous when I have heard people complain that I am there and shouldn't be or see people give me a nasty look. Listen, I deserve to park there. I am not breaking any rules or laws by parking there. In fact, they could get in trouble for not accommodating people with disabilities. 
Before you judge someone when they look fine on the outside, stop and think.  Ask me! If I'm not in a crazy big hurry and you aren't condescending, I will tell you about it.  I'll explain.  I promise that it isn't what you assume it is.
