I am a senior and I run a business. My car has the identification of the business on it. It turns out I am also handicapped due to a knee operation. I parked in a handicap space, with my handicap sticker visible in the front window and when I got back there was a note that said “Shame on you.”
Well shame on you, you bigot. You must think you know more than the doctors and the officials who gave me the permit, or you must think that either seniors or handicapped persons can’t run a business. Or maybe you think handicapped people can’t walk. Whatever, you know nothing of my personal circumstances and yet you have the sense of moral outrage to leave this note on my car.
Well SHAME on you, for not even being brave enough to leave your name and number, so I could confront you over your fake moral outrage! —Ashamed of You
This article appears in Jul 12-18, 2012.
Shame indeed. It is only acceptable to leave anon notes via the internet. Like this one.
I feel angry for you.
Was it really a handicap spot or was it an expectant mother/small child spot? If the latter, then the note was apt. Otherwise, the note makes no sense since you have tags to park there…
The note-writer probably thought the OB wasn’t actually disabled (because they’re obviously medical professional psychics who can come to a conclusion on someone’s health just by looking at them for 30 seconds by using their special powers (which is usually an indication of ‘head up your arse’ syndrome)) and was using someone else’s tag or that the plate was for someone else.
People who make assumptions like that and figure they’re authorities on these matters are arseholes and just look like idiots.
Decals and plates for handicapped parking aren’t just handed out. You need to have paperwork filled out by a doctor. If you didn’t need one of those spaces, a doctor wouldn’t fill the fucking paperwork out. And there are more disabilities that warrant decals and special parking than just those in wheel chairs or those with walking issues.
Why can’t people mind their own business?
PS: parking spots for preggos and people with small kids is the most ridiculous concept on the planet. Making pregnancy/having small kids out to be practically a disability is insulting.
Personally, I don’t agree with “expectant mother/small child” parking spots. The woman is pregnant/pushing a stroller, not disabled. They aren’t controlled or regulated by the province/municipality and you don’t need tags to park in them so they can’t very well enforce anything. What can they do? They are only offered as a convenience by the business establishment, not the law, so they can’t ticket or tow you. I personally think it would be a bit foolish for someone to put a note on someone’s car for parking in one of these expectant mother/small child spots. Aside from actually watching the person getting out of the car, there really is no way of knowing if they are in fact an expectant mother or have a small child. And even then, what if she is only 6-7 weeks pregnant? There won’t be a baby bump, so what, would she have to take a pregnancy test upon exiting her vehicle? What if it was a guy parking there to pick up his pregnant wife or small child? Would he be in the wrong? Again, how do you enforce this?
These spots are almost as bad as the “Hybrid Vehicle Only” parking spots I’ve seen in Dartmouth Crossing. Pffft! Whatever! I park my standard cumbustion engined car in these spots every chance I get. Ridiculous!
I DO agree with Al about this note not making any sense if the OB did in fact have disabled tags/permit displayed in her car and was using a designated parking spot.
.
PK your right on some people just don’t think.Of course there are those who are just pissed that they don’t have a legal right to park close to mall door’s.I can think many of my friends that have a ‘handicap’ pass that would gladly give it back inorder not to have to use it.
First OB I would like to say out here in the boonies I see too many “handicapped plates” in the handicapped zones & perfectly healthy people jumping out & I have actually observed people Running across the traffic zone to the liquor store !
That’s right running !
IF you can run motherfucker ….YOU AIN’T HANDICAPPED IN MY BOOK ! ! ! !
THat’s the problem as I see it,
Too many LAZY self rightious flaming assholes with the I AM BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE & I HAVE A FUCKING HANGNAIL…..SO I DESERVE SPECIAL TREATMENT…SO LET ME PARK IN SIDE THE FUCKING STORE !
I myself have been told I am entitled to a handicapped sticker, I was first offered one, when recovering from surgery to save my lower leg… I have a pin & a plate in my lower leg holding all that shit together, & the soft tissue damage has never recovered almost 7 years since the accident. I now am dealing with another medical problem that also allows me to have a handicapped plate….BUT I CAN STILL WALK !
I’m not in a chair, or on crutches, or in need of a walker YET !
SO I am not at all handicapped to the point where I should be taking up the space for say someone like Wheelie P !
Unless your ability TO WALK is impaired , you IMO are not entitled to park at the fucking door – period.
In Closing I also would like to point out if all these self rightious flaming assholes lost their “Handicapped” permits we could get rid of 75% of the handicapped parking spaces & we would still have plenty left for the real handicapped in our society –
“PS: parking spots for preggos and people with small kids is the most ridiculous concept on the planet. Making pregnancy/having small kids out to be practically a disability is insulting.”
If you can’t see why there is courtesy parking for pregnant women then you are more of an idiot than I originally had thought. Actually to be completely honest that was the dumbest thing I have ever read in your comments. That’s Daniel level stupidity you are spewing out.
Yeah yeah fuck off. I know…it’s all you got.
awww… a note by some stranger pissed all over your day?
you’re a business owner and near retirement…
relax and forget about it. You’ll give yourself a heart attack getting all worked up over nothing.
more’s handycapable… more credit than I would have given you.
Do they make you lay down in the scanner when you go through airports?
I suppose zilla’s in favor of obesity spots near the store entrance too…
and senior spots… and spots for people with pets in the car….
and with all those specialty groups getting some, we’ll have the gay/lez/tranny spots to put in there as well….
and celebrity spots so they don’t get mobbed walking the 45 rows of cars away where the actual general public will be parking now that all those designated spots are in the fucking way.
mothers got along just fine before those stupid spaces were created…
get a grip.
Why are they stupid spaces? Explain that to me. I want to hear why you think courtesy parking for pregnant women is stupid.
Also I hate fat people. I think treating anyone with a self inflicted condition with any sort of pity or acceptance is pathetic.
More-on: I agree that there are lots of people who don’t need the disabled parking, but use it anyway, however, there are some situations where you can physically perform the task (running, for example), BUT, you’re advised not to.
My dad’s septic infection has moved into a bone in his ankle that was already arthritic. He has to have surgery to remove the bone and have a bone from his hip taken out and moved to the ankle, then have it fused. Right now it’s a waiting game because he’s still on the IV antibiotics (and has six more months, which will make 10 months of IV antibiotics). He wants NOTHING MORE than to go back to his work outs or go running like he used to. The orthopedic surgeon and infectious disease doctors along with his GP ALL TOLD HIM TO FUCK OFF WITH THE EXERCISE because it could do further damage to the infected bone. They told him he has to get a decal for disabled parking (he’ll certainly need it after the surgery). He’s walking like he was before the infection/first round of surgery (slight limp from the arthritis). You wouldn’t think he would require a decal, but according to his doctors he does. Thing is, my mom and I have to stop him on a regular basis from going back to the gym. He can physically tolerate running and working out at that moment, but it’s doing damage to his bones and risking the infection moving back into his blood stream. This is why he’s been told to get a decal (he still hasn’t gone to motor vehicles to get the paperwork).
I’ve seriously never seen someone so determined to get back to the gym. He’s miserable because he can’t work out and oh so fun to deal with when he’s all “going out for a run!” and we have to actually yell at him to keep him from going.
My point? Not everyone who appears to be ‘faking it’ is actually faking it.
Zilla: I don’t begrudge the concept of courtesy parking for preggos and those with little ones. Not in the least. What I DO think is that equating them to handicapped parking spaces is ridiculous, but that’s what people do. To the point where moms have had pissing contests on here in bitches past to prove they’re more deserving of the spots.
They’re a courtesy. Nothing less, nothing more and treating them like they’re on the same level as parking for those with physical disabilities is ridiculous, because if pregnancy/having little ones WAS anywhere near the same league as a ‘disability,’ they would be regulated by the government and you’d need a decal to prove you were legally entitled to park there.
I’m pretty sure that if my non-pregnant ass parked in one of those pink spots (not that I would), I wouldn’t get a fine. Even if I did it in front of a cop.
“I don’t begrudge the concept of courtesy parking for preggos and those with little ones.”
“parking spots for preggos and people with small kids is the most ridiculous concept on the planet.”
You should probably start reading your comments before you post them. You just completely back peddled into contradicting yourself. I wasn’t trying to debate the fact that they are courtesy spots. I just don’t see how you are coming to the conclusion that they are equal to handicapped spaces or in some way imply the people using them are handicapped.
Eh, whatever you say, zilla.
You still haven’t explained why you think courtesy parking implies the people utilizing it are handicapped. I’d really like to hear your reasoning behind it.
Its okay if you want to admit you were talking out of your ass. You don’t have to be ashamed about it. It happens to the best of us.
I honestly can’t understand why anyone would have a problem with a couple of parking spaces, in a massive parking lot, being reserved for Moms. They certainly deserve it!
And they’re not equal to Handicapped spots. As you might notice they come second, after the handicapped parking.
perhaps it was better when there were no designated spots. drop off/pick up areas are useful when someone has trouble getting around, you can dump them at the front door, go park, help them in the store and go get the car when you’re finished
“You still haven’t explained why you think courtesy parking implies the people utilizing it are handicapped.”
I was referencing bitches past where people have come on here and basically argued that the preggo/small kids spots were the same as the disabled parking and that pregnancy should be classed in the same category as someone with a physical disability.
It’s nice to give pregnant women or people with little kids the COURTESY of parking close or having a seat on the bus, and I’m the first one to give up my seat on the bus for a preggo, but being pregnant or having little ones is NOT a disability.
“I think treating anyone with a self inflicted condition with any sort of pity or acceptance is pathetic.”
What if this was someone who decided to dive into a lake or river before checking the depth of the water, as one example, and ended up with an irreversible spinal chord injury? Is that not self inflicted?
What if this was someone who got their leg caught in a piece of farm equipment or industrial machinery? Is that not self inflicted?
Are they not entitled to a disabled parking space?
They probably wouldn’t want any form of pity, but I think not accepting them based on an unfortunate accident is bordering on prejudice.
“You should probably start reading your comments before you post them.”
Just sayin…
That should have read, “…not accepting them based on a narrow minded opinion of their unfortunate accident is bordering on prejudice.”
When I have a car and have the displeasure of dealing with parking lots, I park as far from the door as I possibly can because I’m sick of scumbags flinging their doors open and scratching my car, dumping out their sticky gross Pepsi where I need to stand to get in my car, leaving dirty diapers behind, McD’s wrappers, etc. Preggos or people with dumb kids can have those spaces, it prevents them from scratching people’s cars while trying to get their big bellies/little brats out of their car.
many people do this mel http://1000awesomethings.files.wordpress.c…
“Just sayin…”
Just saying what? All you did was ask what I meant about self inflicted conditions. You didn’t do anything else. To answer your question though….By self inflicted I meant avoidable as in not an accident. You can’t accidentally get fat. You can accidentally hurt yourself through stupidity.
Do I pity someone who gets lung cancer after smoking their entire life? No. Do I pity someone who lived a generally clean life and gets cancer anyway? Yeah.
Before you post a comment that you think is a slam dunk to discredit someone you should probably provide more substance than saying “HE DIDN”T CLARIFY SO I”LL ASK HIM TO THEN SAY I SHOWED HIM!!!!!”. Get off Pks dick…she can easily take care of herself.
Juts sayin…
speaking of back-peddling…
“Also I hate fat people. I think treating anyone with a self inflicted condition with any sort of pity or acceptance is pathetic.”
I didn’t realize those preggo spaces were only for Rape victims.
I like the unoffcial parking spots at most Walmarts, usually in the Fire Lane, the drivers and passengers are normally PORKERS – they should paint a big sign saying RESERVED FOR LAZY FAT CUNTS
Dear “Hlfx He Man” or Godzilla or whatever you call yourself.
I was excited, and on the verge of marketing my own cereal with eyebrow shaped crunchy pieces and I suddenly lost popularity. I thought to myself, hey I only have to shave twice and sometimes only once a week (it’s the wood spick), I have minimal chest hair and bike to work without sweat in my eyes because of my eyebrows (you see that’s my cereal gimmick for the commercial.
Now mr “He Man”. I wonder how well you ass hair shaped manly shredded wheat cereal would do. Would you have a commercial for your ass hair shaped shredded wheat where your dog runs up to you in your parents’ rich house and smells your ass. Maybe you could teach people what shampoo you use to wash your massive amount of ass hair safely without developing leakage.
zZz so desperate to try to discredit me that you completely ignore context.
No I’m just trying to piss you off

desperate? when it comes to you, the only people that are desperate are your crack whores…
essentially though, that is the reason those spots are stupid.
and I don’t see context on this site… just plain text.
you must be on some shitty apple product that has a context app for that.
Eyebrows. Either you’re really as stupid as I suspect, OR you’re really that pathologically narcissistic that you read other peoples’ names as your own.
Zilla was talking to zZz. That’s why he started out his comment by saying “zZz…”
*sigh*
Fuck sakes:
zilla. zed. Why don’t you two just butt fuck and get it over with.
You’re both dying to get inside each other’s asses so just DO IT already.
Gawd.
Crack whores? You shouldn’t call your mother a whore….she really isn’t. I mean…I haven’t had to pay her once yet for her services.

It’s good that he openly stands up to me PK. Someone has to keep me in check or else I’d run wild and start harassing the good people in our community….like PG.
To be honest, PG is probably the shining light of our shitty community. I rarely see her say anything bad about anyone. Next summit…give her an award or a cookie or an award made out of a cookie.
If I wanted to discredit you I would simply point out that someone who smokes his or her’s entire life is addicted and usually crying for god in pain before they die. You ever watched a friend who went through that cock fuck.
Or maybe you don’t realize that people can change and see what they’ve done wrong when it’s too late. Your just an asshole.

Xmas is HOW far away?
Well son of a………….
I’m a troll so its my intent to make this place shitty. Luckily I don’t have to do much work due to the regulars fucking this website daily.
s’amatter kitty… upset you’re not getting all the attention?
looking up context for me!
thank you so much!
I’m shocked you didn’t actually just lmgtfy

“s’amatter kitty… upset you’re not getting all the attention?”
No. I’m perfectly ok with laying low these days.
I’m merely pointing out that you and zilla are making this place extra shitty today by acting like complete tard faces. I expect the bickering, but your display of dumbassery in this thread is just sad and pathetic.
Probably should expect it from you both anyway.
That and the sexual tension between you two is so think it’d have to be cut with a knife.
*thick
If it wasn’t us then it would be someone else. I fancy that we are the two people who are capable of keeping it up for long periods of time (sexual) which is pretty impressive. We could easily set aside our differences and gang up on you (sexual), but that wouldn’t be fair.
‘Petty K’ the problem ain’t with the handicapped, the problem is with their Loser family & friends driving their fuckin’ vehicles & instead of parking elsewhere they take advantage of the plate & park in a handicapped zone.
Also WOW ;
5 flaming assholes gave me a thumbs down dislike…I guess even suggesting they lose their FUCK YOU ALL I GOT A HANGNAIL aka-Handicapped plate, really pissed those over weight fat fucks off LOL
THat’s another thing that should be made a parking law…your obese, you gotta park in the farthest parking place their is from the door of the store or you lose your license & have to waddle every where you need to go for a year !
Where do these great ideas of mine come from ?
Must be from God ~;p
an Lov’in it !
You know, the funny thing is that there are a lot of people out there that have disabilities and unless you were a medical professional or were forewarned somehow, you’d never be able to tell just by looking at them, that they were disabled.
Take you for instance, More. I’m sure if I saw you out in public
somewhere, I’d think that there was nothing wrong with you. But then, all I’d have to do is logon to the Coast and read your last couple of posts on this topic and the jig would be up. It will have become abundantly clear just how disabled you are. It’s obviously acute brain damage. How else can you explain such blatantly ignorant, assinine, backwards and idiotic garbage like that being vomitted by you?
It’s too bad they don’t have a special plate or tag for being such a complete and total ASSHOLE FUCKWAD like you, eh More? They’d even have special parking for you and everything, 10 feet past the end of the nearest wharf or pier.
And don’t worry folks, if you happen to see drool coming out of BOTH sides of his mouth. That just means his chair is level.
eyebrows – God is normally spelled with a capital G – as in Go fuck yourself.
Fire-I can take people downing fat people,I do have a sense of humour. but the Prggo handycap space only for RAPE VICTUM’S THAT WINS THE PRICE FOR THE MOST INCONSIDERATE,RUDE DOWN RIGHT PIGGISH POST I’VE READIN THE 5 DAYS I’VE POSYED ON THIS SITE..YOUR REMARK HAS OFFENED ME TO MY CORE.
I DON’T KNOW IF YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER OR SISTER’S BUT GOD FORBID THEY GET RAPPED.THERE USED TO BE TIMES I WISHED I WAS DEAD RATHER THAN CONTINUE LIVING WITH KNOWING WHAT WAS STOLEN FROM ME, AND I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT MY HYMAN.BUT SERIOUSLY IT’S A TERRIBLE THING FOR A WOMAN TO LIVE WITH ,SOME NEVER RECOVER.But I’m sure you already know that,being an educated man.
^^ just think of how pissed off I was when someone said I looked like a “sex offender”
Um holy overreaction, boru!
I’m not one to defend what zed says on here because a lot of it is wanker-talk, but he wasn’t mocking rape victims, he was saying the only time someone gets pregnant against their will is if they are rape victims and if they’re not, pregnancy was the result of consentual activity and thus self inflicted. I don’t see how stating a fact is the same as mocking rape victims.
Perhaps you should deal with your issues before you post on here because if that makes you go apeshit, posting is obviously detrimental to your health and this place is supposed to provide entertainment, not mental trauma.
Boru – I think you need to read your posts prior to hitting the send/enter button
“GOD FORBID THEY GET RAPPED.”
So what’s your opinion on the comment of me looking like a sex offender “Pretty Things”. Please fly in to my late rescue.
We need old guys like this;

I like how we pretty much ignore Daniel now.
Oh hi Mel your back!
Fire-I didn’t read your post close enough assuming you were making light of the subject of rape,not that you condon it.I AM SORRY
Authur-I will do that.
Me too, Mel.
PK-I am fine.Yes I can get snakey at times.There’s subjects I feel passionate about.
I try not to pussyfoot around while talking with people.I am usually a direct person.Some don’t appreciate that.
“There’s subjects I feel passionate about.”
Tell us what they are so we can make jokes about them now so you can get the rage out of your system. You can’t have thin skin when posting on the internet….even more so when posting on a website that allows multiple accounts, has no ID verification, and is just generally shitty.
Zilla-Child abuse. –

Oh yea!

There Zilla that’s all of them.Have ather..
Hmm…
Whats better than one dead baby? 10 dead babies.
You should never hit your kids….that’s what your wife is for.
Rape is such a nasty word….I like to refer to it as surprise sex.
Roofies shouldn’t be considered an illegal drug….it should be considered a sex aid.
Drugs are only bad when they don’t manage to knock her out completely.
Thats all I got.
I was going to put a disclaimer on this comment so people know the context, but I’ll just let people rage naturally so I can stroke my troll ego ever so gently.
Ha ha ha…that’s all ya got Zilla.Thanks I needed to laugh.I do tend to take things to seriously at times.
Yes Ducky69 that was a rather wimpy post.Zilla must be becoming a nice monster in his old age.
Avasto…you tried to make a funny !
Too bad its a pathetic knock off of a much better joke.
What do you call Avasto when shits running out of both ears ?
;
Full .
THou protests about the handicapped view I have a bit much there Avasto…been using someone’s vehicle with a handicapped plate there ?
Or you one of those who pulls into the preggo spots …because you don’t feel they are deserving of a ‘special’ parking spot.
Or did my waddling from place to place remark cut too close to home ?
I suppose I am narrow minded especially to self centered ,the Universe revolves around me assholes, who take advantage & truely believe they are entitled to do so. And I make no appologies for it either.
So what are you going to do ?
Insult me again ?
Trust me that is a complete impossibility. I have to care about you for anything you say to even slightly insult me & seeing as we don’t give a flying fuck about each other, you fill your boots. I enjoy the laugh.
“the Universe revolves around me asshole”

If Vastie’s knock-off was “pathetic” it was because he was being faithful to his source material; the essence of good satire.
