Don’t you just love it when you see a Mercedes parked where it blocks the disabled ramp to the bank while the able bodied young male owner visits the neighbouring convenience store? Never mind that someone actually needed to use the ramp…

Wish I was able to see the license number clearly… —WTF???

  1. I’m pretty sure when people buy a Lexus, BMW, or Mercedes it comes with a card saying “as an owner of a luxury vehicle traffic laws no longer apply to you, and as such you may park anywhere you wish”

  3. You just know that a bunch of old white guys in suits are sitting in the back toasting each other with 100 year old cognac and saying “Gentlemen, To Evil”

  5. I used to (in my slightly greater..don’t give a fuck days) carry around notes that I would put on the windshields of cars parking/blocking handicapped spaces/access.
    eg. This zone is to facilitate the handicapped, it is not reserveed parking for assholes!

    either that or spit on the door handle.

  6. People with expensive vehicles don’t care about traffic laws. When you own a $50,000+ vehicle, you can easily afford the parking tickets, speeding tickets, and higher insurance premiums. That’s why they don’t care. Next time, walk by, just happen to fall/trip with your keys in your hand and let the key hit the car.

    THere’s another one I found of an actual Mercedes…but there seems to be some controversy over whether or not it was a set up shot for a movie. It is also full of water & that seems more contrived than real like the photo’s in the above thread

  8. Or *gasp* the person may have a disability. Did the vehicle in question have a handicap plate or display? If not the bitch is valid, if so then it may not. Not all disabilities are obvious. Or did you stick around and see if they picked someone else up.

  10. Bro Tim: I wrote this bitch. It bothered me that in a barely busy parking lot the guy chose to inconvenience someone less abled by parking in their way. The driver was parked across the entrance to the ramp leading to the bank. It is a no parking zone for EVERYbody. Even disablity plated cars are not allowed to park there.

    I stuck around to see the very buff able-bodied young male driver return to his regularly plated car (no disabled tag hanging on the windshield either) and drive away.

  11. Ok no problem but I’ve seen people assume a lot of shit (many people have no visible signs of disabilities) and leave out pertinent parts of the story (Like no tags, LOL).

    This guy was a douche.

  12. What the difference between a BMW/Mercedes/Lexus/Etc and a porcupine?

    The porcupine has the pricks on the outside.
