BUFFALOTONE Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 <channeling FiSD>handicapped people should really not leave their houses, then no problem. California gets 2.3 million extra parking spaces for illegal aliens. </FiSD> Clapping loudly! Excellent!
BUFFALOTONE Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 ok ok...give the freakin Dali Lama a parking space and be done with it, for goodness sake! Who the hell is Darfur Burma? Guess we could give her one too! She did that show on ABC with that guy Greg, Darfur Burma and Greg I believe.
Lori Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Heh my heart is bleeding ! Keep the stories coming you fucjing mopes ! Check your meds. Seriously.
shrader Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 I love how fat is the new handicapped. If anything, these people should be forced to park farther away and walk. This reminds me of something that I always get a good laugh out of. I work in the 9th floor so I'm taking the elevator most of the time. The 2nd floor of this building has a weight management center. Just about everyone going there always takes the elevator. You know, maybe you wouldn't have to go there half as much if you took the single flight of stairs. Yeah, there are a few people where I understand that they have to use the elevator, but I'm always rolling my eyes because of all the others. But then again, since I work in diabetes research, these people are keeping me employed.
MarkyMannn Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 I can sympathize with the handicapped. Take my bike to work today, and a car squeezed into the MC parking area which left no space for me. F'ing BASTARD!!!
John from Riverside Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 That's just wrong. I might idle in a handicapped spot (though I can't recall ever doing it), but if someone with a tag needs to park there...yeah, you better believe I'll give up the spot. A woman in my office somehow has handicapped parking privileges for a rotator cuff injury... I have a torn medial meniscus and patellar cartilage. Frequently, I have to use a cane. I have to part 200 yards away. Maybe I should tear my rotator cuff so I can park closer... DC....I feel I should also preface my comments that if a person need to park closer to the store because of an ailment then they def should be able to do so. I am just thinking of those who get the permits and dont need them could do with some time on the treadmill. I have members in my own family that have those permits and dont need them but def some people do.
Thirdborn Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 I think it's stupid to have handicap spots to start with. Park in a regular spot like the rest of us. If you really have mobility issues then get dropped off in front of the store in the unloading zone. So I should pick up my quadrapalegic 5 yr old and his chair with 60 lbs of equiptment that helps him breathe, and pack him into my prius , and wait behind the guy idling in front of the store waiting for his fat wife, so that it's fair to everyone? Why didn't I think of that?
Steely Dan Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 If FISD is really like this, and I think he may be jerking us, then he's not much of a human being.
Fan in San Diego Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I love watching you pathetic mopes twist around in your own bull sh--. It's really hysterical from my perspective.
Pete Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I love watching you pathetic mopes twist around in your own bull sh--. It's really hysterical from my perspective. Parents with quadriplegic five year old children are pathetic mopes? If you believe that you truly are a pathetic POS!
MarkAF43 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Parents with quadriplegic five year old children are pathetic mopes? If you believe that you truly are a pathetic POS! wow i read this whole post and there are some sick people, i totally agree..... but next thing you know he and longlive raplh will come back with another comment showing all we are doing is profiling because the person getting the ticket was in some tricked out vehicle and not a 1990 hoopty........ come on..... you must be kidding me---- good to see so many of us "normal" people defending what shouldn't even need to be defended in the first place

tennesseeboy Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 The way I see it handicapped spaces are a very small price we pay for including the handicapped in society. Far better than the days not so long ago where many of the handicapped couldn't get access to education or employment or pretty much anything else because of lack of physical access. Handicapped parking, TTY's curb cuts and all of that aren't all that big of a deal and the result is many people with disabilities can work, get an education etc.. It also gives those not handicapped the opportunity to work and be educated with people with disabilities and work through their own prejudices. Good for you stuckin...
Fan in Chicago Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I fully understand that the original poster felt what he was doing was right...I just am a little wary of the way everyone thinks that EVERYTHING that occurs is their business. There are plenty of valid reasons why a person without a ADA parking permit would park in that spot, and I listed some of them above. I wonder if the poster would've been so cavalier about busting this guy if he had a 1994 Dodge Caravan, rather than "a spiffy ride with tricked out wheels." He made PLENTY of assumptions when he decided it was his place to hand out a $250 ticket. I think you are missing the point. First of all, a couple of cited incidents in this thread do not imply the posters think 'everything' is their business. Secondly, one can rationalize just about anything and any action of people in this world. But there are some laws which are rooted in humanity and intended to assist those less fortunate than most of us. While I would not call the cops about someone going 10 miles over on an open road, I would not hesitate to draw the cops attention to a guy taking the purse of an elderly lady (no matter how badly the guy needs her money). Thinking that you have a reason for doing something does not imply you are correct or lawful in activities. And the OP did not hand out a ticket, he brought the apparent infraction to the attention of a cop who then made a judgment of right or wrong. If say the guy in the spiffy ride was physically impaired but simply forgot his tag, do you think the cop would have ticketed him ?

If say the guy in the spiffy ride was physically impaired but simply forgot his tag, do you think the cop would have ticketed him ? I'm not missing the point...I agree with every requirement brought on by the Americans with Disabilities Act, and firmly believe that it is in EVERY business's best interest to make their facility as accessible as possible for all people. I suppose I would just give the "tricked out ride" the benefit of the doubt...Maybe it's a 19-year old kid who drove his grandmother to the store. Maybe it's just some lazy prick. Either way, there is a sign right in front of his face warning him that parking without a permit is a $250 fine. I guess I would let the cop on duty locate him and write him up. I personally wouldn't make it my business, and I certainly wouldn't brag about getting someone busted after the fact. I agree completey with your statement that having a reason for doing something doesn't qualify that something as legal. I too would make every attempt to stop someone who stole a purse or was assaulting somebody. I guess my line of thinking is...If stuckincincy is such a champion of the disabled, there are hundreds of other, better, MORE REWARDING ways to help....And then coming to this message board and discussing those activities would sound much better than, "I just ratted someone out to the cops who was parked in a handicapped spot. HOORAY FOR ME!!!"
Bullpen Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 This is starting to rank up there with "Volunteer Firemen are arsonists" We've just recently passed "I talk to janitors and people who ride the bus all the time" territory and rocketting ever higher.

I dont know if we have gotten to that point yet..... getting close though..... ah the good ole days of big green tub o crap and billdo.... wherever have they gone?

Beerball Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Maybe your next heart attack will be the last. You're such a POS!! Rectal cancer might be appropriate.
shrader Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I'm also annoyed when people use that button that opens doors for the handicapped. That's more of an issue with the general laziness of people though.
