Pet Peeve #2: Treating a Handicapped Door Like a Toy

Here's my pet peeve number two. Number one is people who park in handicapped spaces when they shouldn't. But my number two pet peeve, is people who think its fine to allow thier small children to play with the door switch that operates the accessible door. Or adults who are too lazy to open the door manually.
There is a reason there is a handicapped accessible door there. It's to allow those who are wheelchair users, or perhaps use a walker, to easily open the door and wheel themselves in.
What's the big deal? you ask!! For one, it wears the door out and yes, there are even times when it causes the door to break. Do you know what happens when the door is broken? It means those who are wheelchair users, now will have a difficult time in getting in and out. All because of someone else's stupidity. Yes, I'm the parent who will yell at you when you allow your toddler to keep hitting the automatic button. Because 9 times out of 10, when the door breaks, its parents like me who have to utilize that door for our child who uses a wheelchair. Have you ever tried wheeling a 70 pound kid in a 60 pound wheelchair through a door with one hand, cause your other hand has to open the door?
I don't know how many times the accessible door on my daughter's elementary school is broken. All because of stupid people who allow thier kids to play with it. Even adults who think its okay to play with it. The custodian of her school has fixed the door countless number of times. And as of late, the door is now so screwed up he said that its going to take a technician to come out and fix it. All at the exspense of the school dept. Whose budget is already strapped for cash. Yet the same parents who allowed thier kids to play with the door, would be the same ones who bitch and complain about the county costing them so much money!!
Okay, my rant is over!!
