Last week at the Halifax Shopping Centre there was a cab from the company with the VERY hummable theme song. He was parked across two parking spaces designated for people with physical disabilites, so that they may not use unsafe conditions to enter/exit their vehicle, or have to drag their bodies any further than necessary to do things, like shop.
The guy he was talking to was parked across the ramp up to the sidewalk next to the door, blocking access on that side of the building. Now, when I was freshly injured in Toronto, I would spit on cars who pulled moves like this, got into confrontations, and even keyed a door or 10.
If I see your taxi parked like that again I am coming out of retirement, and I will cause a giant scratch to appear on yourcar, you selfish asshole POS. And if someone with a disability asks you if you know you’re in a blue spot, don’t say, “I’m going to be a minute” or “I didn’t see the sign.” It doesn’t work in a no-stopping zone, and we shouldn’t have to ask your permission to safely park in a spot zoned for our benefit. Don’t be an asshole. Look where you’re parking.
Thanks, fuck you. —Guy who called your dispatcher and had them tell you to not do that dumb shit, you asshat

I’m sorry, but people who key cars piss me off. Grow up.
lmao @ the internet tough guy…gonna key every car in the world until he achieves social justice!
“A chicken in every pot, a bicycle on every lane, and wind powered pedestrians making their way to leeward along Barrington St…”
What a stupid post.
Well, I’m no internet tough guy OP…but I DO have security cameras in my vehicles* and if they catch your lame ass vandalizing my beautiful high-gloss finish you’ll get your 15 minutes of fame on youtube…
Personally, I think the Coast should pull your name and submit it to the RCMP for prosecution based on your confession…
😉
Yeah OP…. there is such a thing a “voicing a complaint”…. if your cell phone happens to have a camera, snap some pics of the culprit cab driver in the spot and contact the company, claiming you have evidence. If it doesn’t, write down the information that will incriminate the cab driver and contact the company. I am sure they will be quick to take action….. Seriously- spitting on cars… getting into confrontations, keying doors? You’re as bad as they are…. so shut up.
You park as close as you can to the taxi, start waving your blue handicapped card and yell: ‘GET OUT OF THAT FUCKING SPACE OR I CALL THE COPS!’ – far better than keying someone’s car, turdbrain.
You have nothing to fear if you don’t park like a dick, Frosty.
You don’t park like a dick, do you?
I have to agree – keying is a tad extreme don’t you think? and a good way to get punched out.
If I saw someone keying my car, they would get a 3 inch heel up their ass.
Your an idiot OP… Simple as that… Your idiocy preys on the legitimacy of your bitch…
PS… Your soooo scary…. pfft…
so because they break the law, you decide to break it as well?
I don’t quite follow that logic….
If someone robbed a bank and as they came out, you ran them down, you’d condone that?
I’m not sure anyone else (including the robber’s lawyer) would see it the same way.
That’s nothing, OP. I once saw a Simpsons episode where Homer was parked across FOUR handicap spaces and Marge was a cop.
lol NGF, to my recolection his ass got busted!
OP, I’m grossed out by the idea of keying a car. What an immature, ridiculous response to seeing a taxi parked illegally. If I knew you, I’d happily stick my foot up your ass. But I totally get your vitriole.
The rest of you people make me vomit. A stupid post? What an ignorant person you are, Frosty. I’d like to see you survive for one day having to push a wheelchair around town, get in and out of your piece of shit K-car, and listen to bullshit from assholes like… ummm… well, assholes just like YOU.
High-gloss finish, my ass. Oh wait… you meant your bike?
I wish terrible karma on anyone who is not handicapped or picking up someone who is handicapped that parks in a handicapped space.
he probly normally drives a stretch limo.
you keyed a car…that makes you a POS OP. in fact, it makes you a bigger fuckhead than the taxi driver. i hope someday someone catches you damaging their vehicle and breaks some more of you.
while i dont agree with parking in handicapped spaces if you arent disabled…i disagree less with the terribly cowardly move of keying someones car. idiot.
Taxi drivers in the city are idiots. Except a few. There’s always exception, but mostly are frankly a little too self-righteous in their usage of the road and lack of usage of the laws.
“You don’t park like a dick, do you?”
Well Matthew, I’m not parking my taxi, probably waiting for a customer…maybe even a “disabled” customer – ever think of that?
Thought so.
“”” I’d like to see you survive for one day having to push a wheelchair around town, get in and out of your piece of shit K-car”””
Unlike you, Desert Princess, I don’t “feel sorry” for people with mobility issues. They have hurdles to overcome in their daily lives…just like you and I or any other person, because that’s all they are to me: people.
In fact, if I have to have a shit, and only the “handicapped” bog is free…I use it. Just because you use a chair to get around doesn’t mean you never have to wait in line like everyone else. Somtimes I use it anyway…it’s cleaner and more private.
Parking spaces? That’s a (slightly) different story only in that they provide extra space for the doors to swing. IMO though, people like you and your ilk have gone TOO FAR with this “equal access” bullshit. In the UK, for instance, there is a ridiculous “formula” based on the store size used to calculate the number of ‘handicap’ spaces. This has lead to the totally bizarre situation that the Costcos have between 16-24 ‘handicap’ spaces girding every store!
Of course people are going to park there, if they see 24 empty spots, and maybe one or two wheelchair people each day come in…They’re gonna park!
And why the fuck do restaurants have to build expensive mini “elevators” now just to stay open? If there’s a level that some people can’t eat on, so what? If I ended up in a chair, like can happen to any of us…I wouldn’t fucking care if I couldn’t eat on level 3 or 4 or whatever…just show me where I CAN get to, I don’t give a fuck!
And I certainly wouldn’t need bleeding-heart people like Desert Princess fawning over me protectively like I’m some fucking brain-dead comatose …I’d be like : “I’m in a wheelchair, so what?”.
Go “save” someone else with your lily-ass granola-eating, bong-sniffing, sandal-wearing able-bodied, vitamin-addicted, coffee-swilling, huge yoga-arse middle-class pity so you can feel better about YOURSELF, you selfish hypocrite…
and I’m sure if they accidentally rolled over your foot and scuffed your kicks, you bootfuck em all the same.
jerk.
“.I’d be like : “I’m in a wheelchair, so what?”. “
Like maybe just because you use a chair and *need* a wider space to get out safely without wiping out and breaking bones, you wouldn’t like to ask *permission* to use a space designated for this use by people who actually *need* it.
I’m not going to pull an asshole move like scratch a car door, but parking over 2 blue spaces is worse than parking over one. Parking crooked to say “I get it- I’m not supposed to be in this space. Look, see how crazy I’m parked?” doesn’t get past the fact people have a real need for those spaces, and if they aren’t always full up it doesn’t mean you can park there until someone has to *ask* you to move.
Has nothing to do with pity or “granola-eating”. Why do you take this all so personally?
Me, I just call the police and they come tow the car away. If I’m going to have to wait for you to come out so I can leave my car without breaking bones and spending any more time in the hospital, I’m going to enjoy the show as you cone out and attempt to explain to the police/tow driver why you should be able to park there without being a “dickmitten”.
Thanks for the new word, Jonnoman!
The drivers are unionized so they truly don’t give a fuck.
