As of today I can contribute.


I went to a Home Depot type place and there was only one park at the place but it was 1/3 taken up by a late model Alfa. Me being me I knew I could squeak my Corolla wagon into the park, and did so with millimeters to spare on the Alfa side.

When I came out with an armful of stuff there was a 20 something Greek girl in heels etc standing there with a coffee in her hand, and THE LANGUAGE coming out of her. I popped the back of my wagon and started loading things into it and she shouted at me "Is THIS your car?" I said "Yes, and that's the problem with taking up two spaces." She stopped swearing and said that she had trouble getting into the parking space. I just looked doubtfully at her and took my time loading stuff into my car, checking receipts etc, then drove off.

Took this picture about 5 minutes ago. How about a d'bag that takes up four handicap spaces?

It would be SOOOO easy to block that dork in, all ya need is a beater to park directly in front of him and one behind.
Then start selling tickets.

If SMART is the brand, you must be STUPID to have purchased one.

I saw the handicapped enforcer pull in and thought he went over the line, he didnt, but was close.
