disabled parking

[tradey]

ive just come back from shopping with my brother he has a disabled badge as he has ms and finds it hard to work very far,well we couldnt find a space anywhere,i got out and went looking round,you know what a woman with her two kids went into one ,she had no badge on her car,so i went up to her and said,do you know these spaces are for the disabled,she said yep i know but im not going to be long,well that did it for me,i said my brother has been driving round for 20mins looking for a space and he needs this more than you do,are you going to move the car,she said no you park somewhere else,im not really a nasty person but she was being cheeky infront of her kids so i said if you dont move your car ill move it myself.she just walked away laughing into the shop, i waited 10mins she never came out so i and a passer by who was a very nice man we pushed her car out of the way and we parked there ourselves,my brother went into the shops i waited incase she came back,my bro was back before her,he got in and we drove off, as we were driving away we saw a warden going up to the car,i hope the stupid selfish cow got a ticket,some people are so cruel

madham what a brilliant idea! Drivers must understand that disabled spaces are for the disabled even on a sunday.

drestie, you AGAIN failed to answer my question, i,m trying to see if you would move a car of your driveway?

I,M fully aware of the question, Are you and dotty, i think not

[madham]

Dotty.. Just my personal opinion, my best friend dumped her new date, because the 3rd time she went out he parked in a disabled spot because he had a sports car, he didn't want in getting scratched in a slimmer space, so he thought it was ok.

I am not a criminal, just makes my blood boil when people (i.e. illegal parkers) are so selfish.

[drestie]

Do you really honestly fail to see the difference between moving a car out of your own driveway and moving a car out of a parking spot you'd like to use?

[drestie]

madham, I totally agree about people parking in disabled spaces. I would never ever do it, even if I was running in to return a movie for 20 seconds and there were other disabled spots available. It is completely immoral and illegal as well. But... two wrongs do not make a right in this case, and moving the car is illegal and unnessary and this was not the right thing to do, morally or legally.

[laurence2]

Madham, well said, it seems a couple on hear are struggling to understand why people like you/me tradey etc get annoyed and stand up against these idiots

[laurence2]

drestie, answer the question or move on

[beryllium]

I really feel for your bro tradey, I know myself how frustrating and how utterly selfish these inbreeds are..... and your brother would have been knackered after driving around for 20 mins looking for a space.
The woman deserved to see how your brother would have struggled out of the car in a smaller space.
I too, have ms, and when I need my wheelchair, I really do need the bigger space to get the ruddy thing out.

I personally would have keyed the car..... much more satisfaction.....

[drestie]

I have no problem seeing why they get annoyed, as I do too. But getting annoyed and saying something are very different from committing a crime in retaliation. It is immature and irrational.

[laurence2]

beryllium, your going to be in trouble with drestie and dotty now

[dotty.]

criminal damage, can't do much from inside a magistrates dock

[laurence2]

dotty {snow white} and drestie {snow white}

you whiter than white law abiding i,ve never done or said anything wrong in all my life,

OR HAVE YOU ??????????????

[dotty.]

no wonder we have such a problem with hoodies and vandals in the UK, normal decent people like yourselves advocate criminal damage as a response to a problem like this, and then pat each other on the back over it!!!!!!

[drestie]

Again making it personal, laurence?

At issue is not what I would do or have done. Tradey posted a "question" and opened up her actions for comments, which is what we did.

[dotty.]

with eloquence and honesty, as is the norm on this site,

[dotty.]

laurence u are seeing double, i am Snow White, estie is Cinderella

[laurence2]

drestie, your post are getting rather tedious now.

GO AWAY PLEASE

[beryllium]

lol, I'm a hoody and this is ma boody.....
I'm not really condoning criminal damage,
anymore than the psychological damage and exacerbation of lesions this woman might possibly have caused tradeys brother by her actions.

[dotty.]

laurence estie has gone as she is busy, it is early in New York and she has gone out, why are you attacking her so personally on another persons thread, you have both been members a good while, estie was on cb and never had treatment from anyone like you have dished out just now.

[Ethel]

It worries me than a person with MS to the point he finds walking difficult has a driving licence.

I am also concerned that a total stranger got involved. Why should he? For all he knew that could just have been a personal vendetta.

And a busy shopping centre - so busy there were no spaces - there was enough of a gap in the traffic to push a car far enough away to park in it yourself? Wasn't there a queue of traffic?

And brother walked on his own into the shopping centre? WHY oh why didn't brother just park in a 'normal' space, stay in the car and let sister carry out the errand?
