    Font - Handicap Spaces Are About Accessibility, Not Convenience As I'm loading said chair, dude pulls up next to me in a new Corvette still with paper tags on it. Convertible, containing dude and his trophy, er, significant other. I casually mention that he's pulled into a row of handicap space without a handicap tag or placard. He's says yeah, I know, and saunters off to shop with his SO. Well I'm a little pissed at this moment, but don't want to do damage to such a beautiful car.

    Font - Many years ago my daughter has been fussy all day long. My wife was ready to pull her own hair out, therefore, I took my daughter with me to the store. She was very young, and pretty, with the cutest little purple wheelchair secondary to Spina Bifida. We get to the store, unload her wheelchair from the Chevy Suburban, she climbs down into said chair, and off we go. After shopping is done, we're back at the Suburban reversing the process to load her up and stow the chair.

    Font - I go to the cart storage, just in front of where we're parked. I put carts in a loose formation around his car. Security guard comes out, but just watches. An off-duty city cop also comes out, and also just watches. I proceed to put several layers of carts, tightly packed together, 360 degrees around his car. I approach the guard and city cop, and explain that dude was using handicap space for

    Font - convenience, not due to an accessibility problem. I point out that no carts are touching his car, so no damage, but that he sure as hell has an accessibility problem now! They both crack up laughing at this point. The cop says that he hopes the guy complains, because he'll write a ticket to the dude. I laughed quite a bit over this, and quite frankly, still do every now and then!

    Font - ETA: To answer a common question as to why the cop wouldn't just write a ticket straight away, he couldn't. In Texas, at the time, on private property they couldn't write one unless the property owner/manager called, or the person otherwise engaged with the officer. He was hoping the guy came to complain so the cop could then engage with dude, then write a ticket.

    Font - KalamityKait2020 Nice! 13 hr. ago I worked at a skilled nursing facility and our maintenance guy would park his very nice Mercedes in the handicap spot every day (actually only 2/3 in the spot 1/3 blocking the walk way). No handicap placard or plates. Just a p k that didn't want his nice car to get damaged.

    Font - I finally got fed-up and reported him to the Handicap Parking Violation department of my city's law enforcement. I anonymously reported him every day for a week, with pictures. My coworkers were delighted when he got a ticket and he never parked there again. 1.7k Reply Share

    Font - ithadtobe 12 hr. ago Shamed a man who parked in the adjacent spot of a handicap spot. You know, the one that is left with blue diagnol lines so people can load and unload a wheelchair. Yeah. He tried that whole "I'll only be a minute " after I politely yet directly told him he couldn't

    Font - park there, and started to walk away.... hey, a: e, you still can't park there. He was actively blocking the next car from unloading a wheelchair. He eventually moved, and proceeded to come find me inside the grocery store and attempt to condescend to me about how I shouldn't swear because he didn't want me to get in trouble. Mothe :r, it

    Font - is not illegal to swear. It IS illegal to park in a handicap spot without proper documents. Worry about yourself. Then he wanted me to "move out of his way... B 1, you walked up to me, you had to search for me too. You can turn

    Font - your happy a around or go around me. Then I did that obnoxious "BYE BYE BYE" from the video of people arguing at Disneyland from a million years ago. It was great. 10/10 would shame again. 53 Reply Share ...

    Font - Curious PenguinSocks - 12 hr. ago I've been blessed with not needing accessibility like that but my husband had a foot surgery so they gave us one since he could still drive but walking long distances was not happening.

    Font - That's when we really noticed how many people use those spaces and have no indication they need that kind of space. Made me really think about how hard navigating life is for people who already have need of accessibility. 49 Reply Share
