My mother is a disabled blue badge holder and often has trouble parking in one of our local supermarkets because of the selfish mothers who think having a child is the same as disablement.
Nothing makes me angrier to see these fully able bodied, (mostly) younger women who've chosen to have a child take a space from someone who is unable to walk but had no choice in the matter.
Please ..... don't get me started on this subject.

I usually don't need sleeping pills on the plane. Any mode of transport puts me to sleep as long as I'm not eating.

Would not be a surprise with Tylenol PM which seemingly contains some kind of ingredient to assists people in getting to sleep.

They both said that they had heard of cases where this combination had created these results in a small percentage of people. Not sure of the exact variant of Tylenol that caused this reaction.

Even if it's *only* taking parent and child spaces rather than disabled spaces I can't see how knowingly doing something which may cause inconvenience to others in greater need is a good example to set.

For clarity there's regular Tylenol Extra Strength. This is a pain relief a 500mg with main ingredient being acetaminophen, known as Paracetamol outside US.
The recommended dose for an adult is 2x500mg.
There is also Tylenol PM, which is exactly as above however with added 25mg Diphenhydramine.
I'm a fairly big guy (189cm 86kg/6'2 190lb) so x2 is not really a heavy dose. I am most certainly not a pill addict, however I do find it very difficult to get constant sleep on planes.

And of course if you are climbing stairs with a lady, you should walk ahead of her on the way down lest she fall, but allow her to walk in front on the way up. I wonder if anybody has devised a "gentlemen proficiency test" involving a complex course of stairs, roads, seats and doors.
