Why do certain inconciderate yobs find it necessary to park in disabled bays in the supermarket car parks?

I see Tesco is now getting tough with these numbskull's. While waiting for my wife to come out of Matalan I noticed all three disable bays were taken up none had permits and none of them were disabled , what morons.

1. its lazy idiots who cannot park in the correct bays and walk a few metres to the front of the store i have seen idiots park on the road as close to the store front as possible blocking fire and emergency crews
2. I'm alright Jack pull up the ladder is their philosophy.
3. Because they are lazy, inconsiderate, selfish, and wrongfully feel entitled to park in Handicapped Parking Spaces.
4. Call the police and also get a photo of their license plate on Your camera phone as proff. I'm sure they will stop parking there once they have paid a few hundred in fines for being azz holes.
5. Unblievaby even some of those that do have disabled permits are not disabled.
6. We could also ask how fat,lazy people manage to exploit the system to obtain disabled badges for their cars.Cars paid for by the tax payers. It can be quite irritating that once these slovenly malingerers convince some Urdu speaking locum that they are disabled they immediately develop such a sanctimonious attitude towards the able bodied. Perhaps if they walked to the supermarket for their daily supply of cigarettes and cakes then they wouldn't be in such poor health that they would require disabled parking. To all the wheelchair bound people that use the supermarkets(though I have never seen any) i do apologise. However,as long as people continue to open their doors on to my car and allow their brats to bang trolleys into my motor then I will continue to use the ample wide spaces offered by the disabled parking. If its any consolation to all the considerate and public spirited shoppers out there then I do use the mother and child spaces as first option.
7. Because some people are lazy, selfish, inconsiderate pricks with no respect for other people's rights and needs. I see it way too often too. I wish more was being done to stop people from parking illegally in the disabled bays. They should all get a fine or have their cars towed.
8. Because we live in a society where the anti social, inconsiderate and worse have as many rights and are treated with as much respect as everyone else.
9. why don't you speak english. Tesco, Matalan??? Because half of the people with these disabled passes are not disabled and scamming the system. The only people that should have these are ones in wheelchairs. Umm i don't think that is what i said. If you are not in a wheelchair there is no reason you can't walk an extra couple feet like everyone else. Just because you are disabled doesn't mean you can't walk. I think the exercise would do most people some good. It is good for your body and would help your disability.
10. yeah we have the problems. my mum is disabled and like all the time there are jumped up twerps with sports cars or cars with massive exhausts parked in the spaces i think its cuz the cash point is right by the disables bays so they all go there and cant be arsed to park a few meters away so my mum gotta walk it. sorry had a little rant there lol.:) yh i find it annoying!!! just to inform you snorkel_susie that not everyone disabled is in a weelchair. :)
11. One of my local shopping centres have taken to putting big bright orange stickers on cars windows in disabled spots that don't have the proper disabled parking permits. The stickers point out to the driver that those parks are for cars with the permits. those stickers really stand out so its a shame job for the drivers when they get back to the car to find a huge bright orange sticker on their windscreen & its been in the paper about the centres stand on disabled parking so most people in my town know what the stickers are for. The same centre have just done a major renovation of the centre & car park putting up shade sails & more the tripling the amount of disabled parking spots & i still see jerks parking in the spots. They are just lazy people that park in those spots if they truly are disabled then they should get a proper permit the permits are only about $13 a yr here. My husband said the other day hey we could have parked in the pram bay & gotten away with it as we have a baby seat in the car so he got a mouthful about how many jerks i've seen park in spots they aren't suppose to. No he doesn't even have a licence so he's not parking in the spots when i'm not with him. I'm the only driver in this family & I park where I want not him.Yes I have child I still use a pram for every now & then but I don't use the pram bays our trolley bays don't use a whole car park space so I park next to the trolley bays & make the kids stand behind the trolleys so they aren't on the road or touching other peoples cars. If you don't want your car hit by trolleys or touched by other people then leave the car at home catch a taxi or use the bus & trains. Chances are if you use a car then chances are that it will get scratched or dented at some point where ever you go. & that includes you "PRIVATE" Maybe we should start messing with mirrors of cars that don't display proper permits i don't mean rip them off just adjust the view the driver will have on the passenger side . theres nothing more irritating then having to readjust my mirrors. If by chance I'm in a bad mood when I see some one park in a disabled spot or pram bay I can't help myself I have to say some thing to the driver about their chosen parking spot. & if it happens the person is disabled but haven't got a permit then I tell them sorry but you should go get a permit so it doesn't happen again. Just being disabled doesn't give an automatic right to park in those spots if they don't have the proper permit. If they want the right to park there then they can do what all the other disabled people with a permit have done & get one. unless you have a permit its illegal to park there whether they are disabled or not. I have friends that use the disabled spots due to having disabled kids & if they cant find a disabled spot they go home because they can't get the kids in & out of the car in a normal spot with a wheelchair so its not just adults that need those spots. & why do some elderly people think they can park where ever they like just because their old. Some of them can move faster then me & i'm able bodied not small mind you but still able bodied just slower then some of them old folks
12. inform the local police or sheriff. if the spots are marked with the blue signs denoting disabled parking, the "yobs" are committing a crime & it is punishable by a fine.
13. I don't know how it is in the UK, but in the US cars can be towed away for that - just call up the non-emergency police number. I once saw someone park in a handicapped space and detained her in the grocery store with conversation to give the tow truck ample time to do its job.
14. Its because they are very lazy about walking them few extra steps to get to the front door. I have a son who is disabled and never once have i ever used the handicapped spots to park in. I would carry him from the south forty to get to the front door or if a cart was close by i would get that and use it. It does irate me to death to see normal people abuse the system like they do.
15. I'd never do that for two reasons. 1: it's inconsiderate and impolite. I am more than capable of walking thirty feet on level terrain, and don't need more than three feet to open the door to my car and exit. 2: it would deprive me of being able to do my dramatic pimp-walk across the car park and into the store.
16. Who knows.. how long is a piece of string? My partner has a disability which requires him to use an electric wheelchair. This evening I went to pick him up from work, and found all of the spaces taken (there are 9 spaces, there were about 11 cars parked in the spaces [some spaces had two cars in them!!!] and only 2 with permits) - I pulled in behind one of the cars where there was a woman waiting.. I pointed to the wheelchair sign, and asked her if she was picking up someone with a disability. "No, no, I'm just picking up my husband.. is there a problem with me being parked here?" "Well yes, there is. There is a pick up zone over there where you could stop to pick him up and this is a wheelchair accessible parking space. I am picking up my partner who uses a wheelchair and has the appropriate permit, so can I ask you please to move so I can park in the spot to pick him up?" "But what about all the other cars parked in the spaces?" "Well the fact that there are other cars parked in the spaces illegally does not make it any less wrong for you to park here. Do you think it's okay to do something wrong just because everyone else does it?" "Stop picking on me. I'll move okay?" Attitudes like this woman's are all too common. They don't think of the people who legitimately need the spaces. THey figure that it's a parking space.. hence anyone should be able to use it. They don't understand the difficulties of living with, or caring for someone with, a disability. They are selfish, they are pig headed and they don't give two hoots about anyone else except themselves. I don't know what frustrates me more though.. people who use the spaces with no permit, or people who abuse other people's permits.
17. They are just really lazy and I hope they become disabled too and then find they cannot find a disabled parking space.
