Ok people. Let’s talk about handicapped parking. If you do
not have a placard that allows you to park in a handicapped spot, DON’T PARK THERE.
If you see diagonal stripes on the ground in between or beside a
handicapped spot, DON’T PARK THERE.
This is a huge pet peeve of mine. Listen, if your lazy ass
doesn’t feel like walking the 2 extra spots it would take to get from your car
to the 7-11 door, then stay home. If you’re at Wal-Mart or the mall or at the
Piggly Wiggly and the parking lot is packed and you don’t feel like walking
that far, then stay home.
“I’m really late”
How is your being late my problem? Perhaps if you didn’t
snooze the alarm sixteen times/spent less time applying the caked on make-up/hadn’t
stayed out too late last night and woken up with a hangover the size of
Cleveland, you might be running on time. But again I ask: how is your being
late my problem? Now, because Your Royal Highness has decided it so, the spots
designated for people who cannot walk as far, as fast or at all due to their
disability are a free-for-all and I have to drive around the lot trying to find
a spot that will allow me to get my daughter out safely.
“This will only take
a minute”
It never takes
just a minute…and even if it really did take only a minute, why should I have
to wait on you? Ah yes, Your Royal Highness feels we should wait until Your
Majesty has procured a mocha-capa-frappa-latte with just the right amount of
sweetener and a carton of Pall-Malls before we, the commoner, the lowly simple
folk can have the same opportunity. Wait; allow me to roll out the red carpet
upon your exit, Your Majesty, lest your Louis Vuitton’s be soiled!
All joking aside, it is so infuriating when I see people
park in the reserved areas and don’t even think twice about it. I know there are folks
with invisible disabilities that use handicapped parking and they get the evil
eye because they don’t look disabled. But then you have those who use their
granny’s or aunt’s or brother’s placard. If you are somebody who uses a placard
when you know you’re really not supposed to, I hope you get fined. And I hope I’m
the reason you got fined. Because I looove calling people out on their
douchery. That word is so gross and anybody who knows me knows I hate that
nasty word but that’s how I feel about people who refuse to walk the extra 10
feet.
Stop being a jerk!
