Took this photo yesterday.

This required everyone to get out of the car to figure out how to solve.

these folks, my neighbors, park like this all the time. and no, it wasn't just to run the groceries into the house. i took this picture over two hours ago, the car is still right there. it doesn't really bother me, i just find it interesting that they feel so entitled. these folks would line the front of my house with three of their cars, with two empty driveways and nothing in front of theirs. every day. until i had words with the homeowner and explained that the territorial pissing contest was over.

Anyone else have issues with a car with a handicap permit, parked in one of the front non-handicap spaces, right next to 8 empty handicap stalls?

He could have got even closer to the store, if he used one of the spots designated for him...

In front of my shop today. Idiot had to block my truck in and consume two spaces while he was at it. And he wasn't even here to see me.

no issues at all

maybe the handicapped person was not in the car AT THE TIME

MAYBE the handicapped person is recovering and wanted to walk a bit further for therapy

maybe all the spots were full when the car was parked

a permit holder is NOT required to park only in a handicapped spot

Yep, better to leave the spots for those who really need the spaces.

walk a bit further? He was in the first spot next to the bank of HC spots

And there is always at least 15 empty HC spots

Are these some new mentally challenged parking spots? If so, they faired pretty good.

Maybe he thought he was driving a shopping cart?




Out of curiosity, did the Chrysler have a handicap placard?

Why are so many people concerned about somebody not parking within the painted lines when in practically all posted pictures there are plenty of other free parking spaces available? I don't get it.

No one is "concerned".

We are just pointing out they are d'bags.

OK ready.....

The analogy is...some who post here are d'bags too.

But we are not "concerned".

See the connection?
