I always leave notes for non-handicapped drivers who park in handicapped spots. If I see the person I make it personally insulting, like my most recent: "This spot was reserved for individuals with disabilities. Being fat and self-entitled doesn't count."










Fiat justitia, pereat mundus.
BTW, while we are on the subject, is it needed to point out the obvious: That it is just possible that if you are willing to judge the worth of someone simply by what you read on a website about them it might say a whole hell of a lot more about you than it says about the person you are judging?

man that's funny!
Um, not every legitimately handicapped person is visibly so. My mom had some back trouble from ruptured discs and couldn't walk very far on asphalt, so she had a handicapped placard for awhile, and she used to come home in tears from the verbal abuse people would give her for parking in the handicapped spot. You don't have to be in a wheelchair to have a legitimate handicapped placard.

I had to LOL at a couple of those. Very cute. Im a bit passive agressive so I can totally relate to leaving some...




The subtle attention whore in me thanks you for noticing and commenting!
Yekhefah, I agree. I have had more than one friend or family member who a) legitimately qualified for special parking and b) got called on it all the time by people who didn't "see" the handicap. I stopped thinking bad thoughts about people whose situation I did not entirely know a while ago. At least I hope I have.
Ook!, there does appear to be a difference between humor, snark and true passive-aggressiveness. But ya gotta admit that blog is funny!

I would never attack someone with a handicapped placard who didn't *look* handicapped. I'm talking about people who have no placard and no special license plate. Of course I check. I'm not ignorant. I don't go around checking to see that they're limping sufficiently.
My mother is in a wheelchair for life, not just injured for a while, and has had people cuss her out when she asks that they move out of the handicapped spots so she can use them. I have hatred in my heart for such people. One guy even called her a "gimp with an attitude" because he wanted to sit in the handicapped spot to wait on his wife who was shopping. So now we call mom GWA.
I want to start a GWA Instant Karma Brigade to go around and embarass the FUCK out of people who illegally park in handicapped spaces. We'll have party hats and noisemakers and hand out "Douchebad of the Century" awards. Anyone wanna join??![]()

I know I already "used" this link in another thread (hi, Grace!) but I'm really post-whoring today. I think some (if not most) Some eCards are definitely passive-aggressive.

Yeah I have pre-printed cards the size of business cards that say stuff like "leave me a can opener next time"!
I also get really pissed at people who park undeserved in handicapped spaces(yes, I check for the plate or card too). I qualify for a handicapped plate(asthma, back problems, etc...)but I dont have one. I can walk. Dont get me wrong...days where the lot is full and the 300 handicapped spaces are empty(yes, some places have a SHIT ton of handicapped spots here in retirement village!)...but until I really cant walk the distance on most days..I refuse to get one. It just isnt fair for people who REALLY need them.
They wanted to pass a law here(it failed thankfully) that allowed people with kids to use the handicapped spaces(marked "family" spots). THAT pissed me off. Pregnant women? Absolutely..they should get a temp card if they need it...but take up handicapped spaces just because you have kids?? Oh HELL no...having kids was YOUR choice...why should the cancer patient or mom in a WHEELCHAIR have to maybe NOT get a spot because its too much trouble for you to walk with your 3 year old???? Grrrr....people with overinflated entitlement issues PISS ME OFF!!





It takes a lot to move me to a point where I'll take some sort of action but when I do I don't use cards.
My fav is to open my trunk and dip a finger in a small tin of wheel packing grease given to me by a mechanic friend that I keep for just such occasions as this. I then write on the windshield, in reverse so s/he can read it when s/he sets behind the wheel, some lovely short bit of business that reflects my true feelings. This can not be gotten rid of with wiper fluid and blades. You have to scrub it off with a glass cleaner.
My favorite recipient of such treatment are those who, particularly in packed lots, have the audacity to use two parking spaces because they believe their car to be "special". I drive 50G's worth of car and wouldn't even think of parking it in two spots in even an uncrowded lot.
Quid pro quo.
The problem is who does the qualifying and under what criteria? There are many people, as pointed out by others here, who need those spaces but you couldn't tell it to take a quick look at them.I also get really pissed at people who park undeserved in handicapped spaces(yes, I check for the plate or card too).

^^Well, it seems the state does the qualifying and the criteria are medical conditions as verified by a doc...? Again, I don't harass people who walk away from handicapped spots looking healthy and unhandicapped. I put notes on cars parked in those spaces that have no credentials to be doing so. A cop could give them a hefty fine for just that.
I think putting a note on a car that is illegally parked is at least as acceptable as smearing wheel grease on a car that is only annoyingly parked.




Dear Lunar Obverse,
Thank you for filling my dinner hour with smiles and laughter. Except I've had no dinner. I am no longer smiling or laughing. Thanks a lot.
Wishing you the best,
