Or are disabled parking spaces used by any twat who can’t be bothered walking more than a few yards?
I was sitting in a car park today with the lad asleep in the back of Jude’s car, about 20 yards from the disabled parking spaces. In the 20 minutes I was there I saw one car with an orange badge out of 7 or 8 people who parked there. One!
All sorts of cars, all sorts of people – all happy to pull up and dump the car for a few minutes to save themselves a short walk. Finally, a family pulled up in an older car, found no spaces and parked in the normal area. The woman driver who got out was clearly disabled and hard a hard time covering the ground to the store. When she passed the bottle blonde who’d dumped her Audi TT in the disabled area I wanted to scream at them – “That’s her! That’s the cow who took your space, there’s nothing wrong with her. Look, she’s healthy” And there wasn’t anything wrong with her. Nothing that a good dressing down couldn’t have fixed.
As per usual I said nothing…..
I’ve never used a disabled space, but if I drive to the all night Tesco’s after 11pm, I always use one of the ‘family spaces’ nearer the brightly lit entrances. I figure any decent family won’t be carrying their kids into the store at that time of night.
Hi VJC
You’re my first commenter, nice one!
There was a letter in Viz a while back, saying that if parents are fit enough to do the whole shagging, gestation, birthing thing they they’re obviously fit enough to walk a few extra yards. Good logic really. The disabled bay thing gets on my wick though – Jude’s Dad was registered disabled and and times had terrible problems getting about. Seeing some lard arse with a beer gut nicking ‘his’ space would drive her mad, but at least she had the balls to have a go at the offender..
You’ll have to develop an exaggerated limp to back up your vigilante credibility.
You still read Viz!!! :-O
I can’t see myself at Homebase doing the full-on Bronson-style hard-man. Couldn’t grow the required moustache for a start…
As for Viz, I mainly buy it for the pictures, just to show the little lad.
He he!
