Daily Tech: Why Did Steve Jobs Park in a Handicap Spot?

August 27, 2008

Steve Jobs's health has been a topic of concern this Summer and tipsters spotted his car in a handicap spot recently. We hope he is just breaking the law or transporting a handicap friend and not sick.—Switched

I've read a couple of articles where it's a known (and joked about) fact that Jobs ALWAYS parks in the handicapped parking at the Mac offices because there's no assigned parking, and employees often stick notes on his car saying "Park Different". So regardless if this was taken at the Mac offices or out in public, I don't think he cares about parking in handicapped spaces to be honest.

Ah you're right it is a private campus. Oh but actually it doesn't say here or in the linked article if this pic was from the campus or not. Still hope he's doing ok.

Just FYI to all those saying he's breaking the law — it's a private campus (Apple), and I'm pretty sure the parking spots are marked as a courtesy, not as a requirement by law.

This scares me a little bit :-/ He has already had pancreatic cancer which is usually a death sentence. I sure hope he is OK- but I hope he isn't one of those sucktastic "I'm god and I can park in the handicapped spot" guy either ;-)
