You’re referring to the part where I’m not actually preventing a handicapped person from parking in a handicapped spot, right? Why then yes, I’ll continue to justify it. 
And the rest of us will continue to think you’re a complete jerk
Oh, by the way - if you get caught expect zero sympathy if you come here to whine about the fine.
Do bear in mind that the majority of handicap badge owners are simply being lazy. There are far too many spaces that go wasted anyway just because noone else is allowed to use them. This is why I make a point of using them if they are free but regualr bays are taken up. I apply the same principles to using disabled toilets as well. Survival of the fittest 
And even if you are in the wrong parking there. Having your car towed/being fined is a completely disproportionate reaction for such a minor indiscretion.
On what do you base that statement? Really, I am curious how you came to that conclusion.
You know, with your amazing omniscience that can determine people’s disabilities and limitations without even having to see them, you should be doing far better things than posting on message boards about parking spaces and toilet stalls.
If you want to be a Bad-Ass, park in the spaces reserved for families and expectant mothers. Until they’re willing to admit that having kids is a handicap, I think those spots are bogus.
Oh don’t worry I have so much contempt for those spaces that I park in them even if there are regular bays free. They’re not legally enforceable bays anyway.
No, we can hope that karma catches up with him and he gets damaged in some way that inhibits his mobility for a period so he can learn how lazy we are being …
I don’t get this. I said MOST not ALL. There are genuine people that need to use these bays, and I would never take them if I didn’t have to. But unfortunately there are plenty more who are issued the blue badge frivolously without any real need. When regular bays are completely full I don’t think twice about using disabled bays.
Wait. Swirlface thinks what I’m doing is OK?
That’s it. No more parking in the handicapped spots for me.
I’ll give you a reason. When I was about 19, I briefly dated this one guy. One of the things that decided me against dating him longer was when I came upon his car parked in the handicapped spot. I remember thinking that it showed a couple things about him that I didn’t like: he was inconsiderate and entitled, and he was too lazy to walk 100 feet across a parking lot. So he no longer got the pleasure of my company.

Yeah, we’re all fully aware that you don’t like kids and think that virtually any concession to them is bogus, since you rarely miss an opportunity to bring it up.
Like it or not, some businesses have decided that they’re going to designate those spots for pregnant women or people with small children. When I was eight months pregnant, fat, swollen and uncomfortable, I appreciated them. You’re kind of a douche if you park there, whether or not it’s illegal. If you don’t like them, complain to the management of the stores that have them, take your business elsewhere, or just park farther away.
Well, I’m coming to my own enlightenment here. There was a douche in the handicapped parking at Ballard Locks today without plates or a tag. the other 3 handicapped places were taken with legit vehicles at least and I had the pleasure of manhanding china bambina an extra 200 yards.
Waiting to hear back from the dmv on the proper response since 911 is probably uncalled for, keying the dickwad might get me in trouble. I did however think about letting the air out of all tires. Any good ideas on the Dope for some appropropriate behavior other than waiting for karma?
Probably best to call the police nonemergency number, though that can be tricky if you’re in a different jurisdiction and don’t know the correct local number.
Now, I suppose one COULD pry open the gas cap flap, remove the gas cap lid (placing it nearby) and dump a whole lot of sugar on the ground just below the flap (with perhaps a few grains right near but not in the opening).
But that requires either extra time, or a lot of forethought…
Someone parks in a handicapped spot and you want to key his car, pour sugar in his tank, etc? Wow. And you guys say I’m the douche.
And you know this HOW? Provide a CITE. Give us something other than your enlightened wisdom-based assumptions about how one even gets a handicapped permit. (Do you even know?)
I used to have some fake tickets that I’d stick under an offender’s windshield wiper. There are templates online if you search for them. I should print out some more.
Yeah, well, we want to, we don’t actually do it. You might have noticed that China Guy was asking what he should really do the next time.
Also note I did NOT say to put sugar in the gas tank. I suggested (tongue in cheek) making it look like it had been done.
Also regarding the whole “zillions of empty handicapped spaces” thing… when my mother was ill, which was the last time I paid much attention to the issue, we ran into quite a few times where there were insufficient spaces. Some businesses might choose to err in the opposite direction and have too many, which I think is an improvement. So there are a few unused spaces? I think it’s sheer laziness to use one when you’re able bodied.
I read it hastily and missed the part about it just being dumped on the ground.
I’ve said that I’ve never come close to taking the last handicapped spot and I’ve said that I park in handicapped spots infrequently. Either you think I’m lying or you’ll take my word for it. It won’t bother me either way but there you go. As far as I’m concerned I’ve not once prevented a handicapped person from parking in a handicapped spot so I’ll have no trouble sleeping tonight.
