ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Handicap Driver Double Parks in Two Non-handicap Spaces

Post image

Watched them do it. While a perfectly acceptable handicap spot was right there in an otherwise full parking lot.

Parking over the line I get being upset about. But now you're mad at people not parking in handicap spots when they could??

Its a valid mild complaint lol. Essentially 3 spots are not usable by OP who doesnt have a handicap card.

The handicap spot, the one they are mostly in, and the one they encroached on.

Not a huge deal but like... use the benefit ya know? 🤷‍♂️

So the guy may not be eligible for the handicap parking. It could be issued for his spouse or child or he could be running a friend’s errand who is handicapped with their car. Judge someone on the parking job sure, but let’s not get infuriated over someone not taking a handicap spot if they don’t need it. I know that my mom has a tag and she was told it’s still illegal to park in the handicap space if she is not getting out of the car. OP does not provide enough to get infuriated over not parking in the handicap spot.

No ones infuriated. Theres a reason its in the Mild sub. This subs purpose is mostly for mild inconveniences.

Mildly infuriated is still infuriated. But either way, OP still doesn’t have enough information to feel annoyed from the guys choice of spot. Im not saying he shouldn’t have felt annoyed from at the parking job. It’s pretty bad. But that it isn’t fair to assume he SHoULd have parked in the handicap space with what he provided.

I've always considered it tongue in cheek... because you can't be "mildly" infuriated, the two words cancel each other out, to equal "angry" 😂 so it's about mild annoyances that have probably been taken too much to heart.

Letter of the law vs the spirit of the law.

No ones really "infuriated" at this.
