Further Things That Are Wrong (Part 1)

What’s the forum’s view on parking in disabled spaces. There are 4 such spaces in the place I get my morning coffee and I notice a lot of people use them like they are ordinary parking spaces. They’re never all full at one time but it’s still something that irks me.

Are you disabled?

I tackled an able bodied lady about parking in a disabled space in SuperValu in Killester ( cc @Bandage ) and she very firmly told me to fuck off and mind my own business. I slunk home with my tea in a mug.

Be careful tackling what you perceive to be an able bodied person in a disabled spot. Always check for the disc. Then you can lay waste to the horrible cunt and for a finish, piss in their diesel tank.

There was no disc. I had laid my ground very carefully but I was still outgunned.

Thats disappointing to hear. You should have punched her in the babymaker.

I’d never question anyone just in case they had a valid badge but I noticed a person from my work parking in one this morning and they’re not disabled. I guess their justification would be that there were still 3 other spaces left if an actual disabled person did show up.

how did you approach it? Passive aggressive, aggressive or like a pussy?

I do on the other hand think there are valid questions to be asked about the number of parent and child spaces. Why do nimble agile people in the whole of their health in the prime of their lives get the best spaces.

In my usual gentlemanly fashion.

[anon78624367]

you should have told the cunt she’d be permitted to park there the next time if she spoke to you like that again

[myboyblue]

You need to piss in their diesel tank.

I wholeheartedly agree. Park away in those I say.

If car park bays were a reasonable size, they wouldn’t be necessary

If people didn’t insist on driving ostentatiously large cars like Range Rovers smaller bays would be just fine.

[Ambrose_McNulty]

I wouldn’t park in a disabled space, but there are a ridiculous amount of them designated nowdays. You’d often see 5-10 of them in a row and they’re always empty. Are planners expecting a boom in disabled drivers in the next few years I wonder.

[Corksfinedtboy]

Personally I think it’s not acceptable- for any reason unless you’re disabled

[Corksfinedtboy]

Have never seen more than 5/6 in a row

What are lads views on disabled jacks? I got caught short, badly, in a public place a few years back and the other jacks were engaged. I had to use the disabled ones. I wasn’t proud, but felt it was necessary
