I have a disability and want to smack these jerks with my cane.
Fun story time that, for legal reasons, is a complete fabrication:
Was going food shopping one weekend. No smaller carts inside so walked out and went to one of the drop offs to grab one. On the way back, I see someone put their car into reverse from the “ramp”. Some people stop and wait for them to leave. I just keep walking and pushing my cart while considering my speed “just in case”.
They IMMEDIATELY peel out and smash into the cart. It goes under their tire and rips off most of the bumper and pops their tire (which was fucking terrifying). They get out and start screaming at me and threatening to call the cops and kick my ass. I explain “So… you are going to call the cops and explain to them you didn’t look when backing up from an illegal parking space and hit a pedestrian? I’m in a bit of a rush but I guess I can stick around for that”. Lady who was trying to get her walker out of her car even volunteers to be a witness.
Had a good old laugh and walked to get a new cart. They were still there freaking out when I left the store.
You’re one of my new favorite people.
That shit ain’t immune to keys
Call the police non-emergency number and report someone in a handicapped parking spot that doesn’t have a hanger or tag. Look for Tow Truck numbers posted in the parking lot.
Hit them where it hurts. Their pocketbook, and having to figure out where their car is, how to get there, how to pay, etc… Don’t use illegal means when legal means are readily available, willing, and waiting.
Take a picture, and complain to the internet? IT’s simpler to take care of legally. Then post a pic of a cop writing them a ticket, or a tow truck hauling them away on the internet.
I mean, if someone did this to me in Minecraft, I would be highly tempted to remove their trailer hitch, and put it though their back window for them. Building a window in Minecraft takes a while. Got to mine the ore and such.
Window ore
“sand”
With a dealer tag on the vehicle, as well. This dillweed is specifically doing this because he believes he is untraceable due to not having a license plate.
I see this one frequently in my part of the world. Also, those people who park in the fire lane to “just run in for a minute or two”. It’s next level laziness and entitlement…and for what? To save on walking 20 to 30 feet? If I saw a friend do that, I’d have to stop being their friend.
I work in retail and one time we had someone take the firelane parking to the next level. They pulled up directly in front of the sliding door, like less than 2 feet between their driverside door and the entrance. You couldn’t even get a cart out.
You couldn’t even get a cart out"
No harm trying though
Please do not commit a crime in retaliation to someone commiting a crime. The best answer is to report them so they can be ticketed.
Wait until this guy realizes the police don’t give a fuck and people wouldn’t consider vigilantism if pigs actually did their damn jobs.
I live in a place where the police do care. Its almost all automated.
Laws should permit people with disabilities to legally scratch and dent the hell out of a vehicle parked like that.
Ever seen what firefighters do to a car parked in front of a hydrant they need? Handicapped people should take note.
We live in a society, and all must do our part to enforce the social contract.
It should be legal for anyone to key the shit out of cars that park like this
Remember kids, if you see a guy in a wheelchair keying a car…go help. He can’t reach up high.
Not that it’s necessarily the case here, but I destroyed my knee and had crutches etc for a while, and I just got a tag to hang from my mirror.
Someone walked up before I got out of the car yelling about how I can’t park there, and then I got out with my crutches and knee wheelie and pointed at the handicap tag on my rear-view mirror.
Again, probably not the case here, but I had that thing for about a month, and I caught a ton of dirty looks and stuff because people assumed all handicapped indicators are on license plates.
I hate citizens who play cops. To them I say: Unless you are the person looking at the X-rays and medical clipboard, you cannot make the judgement on what someone else is going through. If you are bugged by someone in the handicap parking space and didn’t even take the time to look over to see a sign on their vehicle, go talk to the manager in the building. Don’t target the person struggling to get out of their vehicle. That’s not your job.
OP is talking about the car in the yellow striped zone, which is not a parking space. It’s space reserved for ramps for the adjacent handicap parking spaces.
Devils advocate, how do you know they’re not disabled?
I seldom take my grandmother to the shops because she’s adamant we go in person and I don’t have a disabled sticker on my car.
I will park in the disabled spot anyway because she needs a fucking wheelchair.
Be careful whos cars you vandalise kids, you better be absolutely fucking sure because I would go ape shit at you.
The white car isn’t parked in a disabled spot. Its parked in front of the ramp for a wheelchair, which isn’t a space
