Something I Really Can’t Stand
There’s always one. One old broad who can’t bear the thought of walking 10 feet to the store. One who thinks that because she was there when the Grand Canyon was simply “The Large Pothole,” she only has to follow laws when they’re at her convenience.
Such is the case with this spectacular example of human inconsideration.
1. She parked in a handicapped spot without a tag on her mirror or without the plates, either of which is required in New York State.
2. She parked well outside the boundaries of the actual spot she’s not supposed to be in, blocking at least partially the ramp for the handicapped people who need it for their wheelchair, etc.
3. She parked at least 3 feet from the curb and left the rear of her car sitting in the aisle where cars need to pass.
And most notably, as far as I can tell, she got up out of the car and walked into the store.
Why do people think it’s okay to do this kind of crap?
Anyway, it’s all well and good. Maybe a little internet shame will change this waste’s ways.

Somehow I doubt internet shame will have any effect. Not that actually having the handicapped tag would have made any of it any better. I always looks at those cars and think “If they’re so handicapped that they can’t park properly THEY SHOULDN’T BE DRIVING!”
Bottom line, if you can’t handle your vehicle - don’t.

You seem to have missed the most disgusting fact about this picture, something so heinous that everything else pales in comparison.
Whoever it is, they drive a Kia.

There are a few Flickr groups for these kinds of asshats…

I have a good line that I’ve used — if you happen to see the offender: Say, “I don’t think you are going to win any awards for parking.” It’s humorous, disarming, and not overtly aggressive, and yet it seems to get the point across very well.
Also bewildering to me is when people try (maybe to the point of waiting) to get a close-in parking space to avoid a long walk to an exercise or fitness facility….
