I always assume some asshole peeled off the handicap sticker when I see that. And anyway, do people NEED a label to know that’s the handicap stall? What else would it be, the luxury stall for VIPs?
My chair won’t fit into a normal stall. So I cannot use them even in an emergency. Many times I’ve waited while some able-bodied man comes out “Oh, sorry.”
My reply “That’s OK, I just soiled myself out here while I was waiting.”
According to MLS you are supposed to just say “excuse me please” and not grab hold of their cart and see how far you can shove it for distance. Apparently I’ve been doing it all wrong.
And forget leaky headphones, what about those who leave their thumping music cranked up to bone jarring levels with the windows down and even the door open as they go inside convenience stores. The girlscouts selling cookies on the corner just love to hear what Lil Jeezy does with his nasty parts.
You 99 percenters can just suck it up.
Well there were no disabled people waiting for the stall when he happened upon it, so it’s all good…
Airing your domestic disputes in public.
Look people, I really don’t need to hear about what you think about each other as you are stomping up and down the main street. I don’t want to have to listen to your profanities and watch your kids cringe with embarrassment. It ain’t nice for anyone concerned, and doing it at the top of your lungs is just plain rude.
Ditto for cellphone arguments on public transport.
Don’t give a toss about wet hair, but I do find ladies doing their makeup on PT a bit disconcerting as well. Maybe not rude per se but there are some things that people should do in the privacy of their own home or office. Make-up, filing nails and having an argument are high up on the list!
Rule: Don’t be fucking stupid.
Perhaps the people who don’t get this never have to travel on packed, standing room only trains, where long wet hair generally ends up in my face. Which reminds me… please take off your backpack when you’re on a packed tube train.
Wearing shoes indoors is good for your health if you’ve suffered Plantar Fasciitis. That said, taking them off when you visit someone else’s home for an hour or three won’t hurt.
These are both common setups for pickpocketing attempts.
Agree wholeheartedly!
One day on a crowded bus, I saw an idiot walking along the aisle with his backpack on over the seat side, bonking each person on the head as he walked by. :rolleyes:
Whenever two or more people are gathered for a single purpose, talking on your cell phone is plain rude. Also those people who get so wrapped up in their conversation they don’t notice you trying to get by them. I always scream in their other ear “What am I…FUCKING INVISIBLE???”
And if you use your iPhone on a public bus, don’t tell me I shouldn’t be looking at it.
Fuck that. That backpack’d get a big yank from me if he passed me.
I don’t leave close parking spaces free if they aren’t labeled. I guess it would be stupid to leave an unlabeled stall unused.
I parked in a handicapped space the other day inadvertently - they only had the handicapped sign painted on the ground. In Calgary. Where the ground is covered with snow six months of the year. I did notice the sign after I got out and moved my car then, but you have to put signs up somewhere other than the ground here.
Im not sure about Canada but in the U.S., you wouldn’t have been subject to any ticket had a police officer come across your car parked there. That’s because in order for a handicapped parking spot to be legally enforceable it must have a sign, separate from the parking spot itself. The sign painted on the ground itself wouldn’t have been enough to make it legally enforceable.
What are you even talking about? Why are you trying to make a parallel between handicapped parking spaces (which are legally enforced) and handicapped bathroom stalls (which aren’t)?
He’s looking for a loophole next time he’s caught selfishly using the big stall when others are available. “Well, stall wasn’t marked, sucks to be you!!”
My brother works for the state as a traffic engineer. He says that people that do the above slow down everyone and cause unnecessary traffic backups because the line of traffic is twice as long as it needs to be. If everyone used both lanes and played nice with a nice weave the backups are smaller and go faster. If the folks that close a lane of traffic didn’t want both lanes used, the would have blocked one of the lanes a lot farther back than they do.
Why *would *you look at it?
