I starten af Wired mega cover artikel om Apple beskrives Steve Jobs'ss afslappede forhold til parkering;

If there's no easy-to-find spot and he's in a hurry, Jobs has been known to pull up to Apple's front entrance and park in a handicapped space. (Sometimes he takes up two spaces.) It's become a piece of Apple lore — and a running gag at the company. Employees have stuck notes under his windshield wiper: "Park Different."

Dette er ikke et nyt fænomen, se denne gamle gamle historie fra det legendariske Folklore.org;

One day Apple executive Jean-Louis Gassee, who had recently transferred to Cupertino from Paris, had just parked his car and was walking toward the entrance of the main office at Apple when Steve buzzed by him in his silver Mercedes and pulled into the handicapped space near the front of the building.

As Steve walked brusquely past him, Jean-Louis was heard to declare, to no one in particular - "Oh, I never realized that those spaces were for the emotionally handicapped...".

You're not an engineer? You're just a writer? Wow. That kinda sucks then doesn't it?
