I don’t think you made it clear that the person your friend harassed didn’t have any handicapped plates/tags/stickers, as opposed to bothering someone who merely didn’t “look” handicapped.
I think the problem is that your post upstream did not specifically state that your friend did not target non-sticker-bearing cars.
I was left with the impression that your friend wasn’t as discriminate, too.
See, kids? This is what happens when you don’t submit right away and come back an hour later.
Man, when I have some really good car insurance… It’s my dream to find one of these idiots and carefully scrape my vehicle all the way down the side of theirs. Hopefully while they stand there watching, just so that I can get out, scratch my head and say “Gosh, you were right to put those lights on. Turns out it really is hazardous to park there.”
You have reminded me of the actions of a friend of mine. She was a new mother and was walking to the supermarket while pushing the baby in it’s pram. A car was parked almost entirely on the pavement with no driver around - there was enough room to squeeze past but the wing mirror was stopping her pushing the pram through.
So she backed up a little, stood in front of the pram and KICKED the wing mirror off! Then calmly collected the pram and continued on her way.
Damn right it’s hazardous to park in front of mother-tigers
You left out that part, and I see that other people mentioned that. And I wasn’t horribly offended…it was, after all, kinda funny. I tend to fly off the handle when people park in the spots without a tag at all. Maybe humor would be easier on my blood pressure!
But if I see a tag, I don’t judge, unless I know for a fact that it belonged to Grandma but now she’s dead but the tag is still good so why not use it?
I do have one, for fairly visible (though non-wheelchair-using) reasons.
Coolness, all’s well that ends well.
