Very annoying
Cherry Bomb:
:twisted: :twisted:
My wife is disabled, she had polio as a kid. We live in a terrace in town, about 2 mins walk from the railway station and 5 mins from the town centre. Parking is on the road outside the house, so you can guess what happens between 8am and 6pm!!
It took her over a year to get the council to put a disabled space outside the house, but now she has one. Does it stop the *@+!!!!!! holes from parking??? :evil:
The other morning I caught a suited and booted git in a big BMW parking in it and walking off towards town. When I asked him if he could move it he told me to 'F**k off and get a life!!!'
I then 'suggested' to him that if he didn't I'd do it for him, pointing out the ton and a half of lifted jeep parked right behind his new BM.
After a very cilvilised!!!!! :shock: exchange, he agreed and [!Expletive Deleted!] off.
As you can probably tell, this is one of my pet hates. and they reckon 4X4 owners are a threat to humanity!! :roll:

Oh dear, it looks like we have all been there one way or another !!
Mind you I very often think that I have seen it all, only to find out in very quick order that I was wrong AGAIN.
People in Ford Probe sports cars with blue badges parked in disabled bays getting out and running into the shop.
Old age pensioners parking in mother & child parking spaces.
Disabled badges parked on double yellow lines causing blockages for emergency vehicles. (Sometimes they were in a vehicle, the badges that is).
As for hospitals well what can I say, 29 years in the nhs and the parking is worse.
Just for BTM I'm one those green meanies that run in & out !!
Well we try to around here but the girls & boys in our A&E usually know we are coming and get very busy all of a sudden ( joking) :D
Then of course I can't deride the nursing proffesion cos I married one :?
Snowie.
Remember; this is not a rehearsal for life. This is it !!

I'd like to dip my oar in here as well if I may (having only just noticed this topic) I agree there is nothing more annoying than someone parking in a disabled space in bmw/merc etc and then carrying golf bags out of boot etc and yes I have on some occasions (when its outside my house) used my vitara (yes, even those can scare people if you do it right) to persuade people.
I think the simple problem is the fact that there is no fool proof system for issuing these things in the first place.
My grandmother who has unfortunately now lost the use of her legs refused point blank to have one when they offeref her one after she had a pacemaker fitted saying there was no reason. She loses the use of her legs and now the bar stewards aren't interested. However, people with dyslexia around our area have been given them. I'm not saying that this is or is not a disability as it causes far too much fuss but what I am saying is where do you draw the line?
If you have a disabled parking space surely that is by definition for everyone with a disability, physical or mental. But then we come to the problem of PC and we would end up if this were the case with half the car park full of spaces for moderate learning difficulties, severe learning difficulties etc.
At the end of the day if you see someone parking in a disabled space and you don't think they should be (or parent and child) then surely there is some justification for saying something to the driver or reporting it as if people can get away with something then they will keeo doing it.
:shock: i feel better now
