Too many people don't understand this when parking

  It’s not stupidity, but arrogant selfishness. They know they’re in the wrong, but there’s so rarely ever any consequences for doing it that they just don’t care. “Me, me, me” is simply the American Way.

  I’m thoroughly disgusted with this shithole I’m stuck in, can ya tell?

    so long as you know there are pricks who would park there from every country. this kind of asshole isn’t isolated to the US.

    I do admire countries that have better laws for dealing with these jerks tho.

      You also need effective enforcement. In my country in the EU people park in disavled spaces all the time because “it’s just for a minute”. Some even make counterfeit disability cards (you need to have a valid one displayed behind your windscreen). The fines for that are huge but the actual enforcement is non-existent.

    Stupid person here, sometimes us handicapped folks just forget to hang the tag or it falls off the dashboard.

    Not all of us are in wheelchairs or are even visibly disabled, so I get the frustration when you see someone who looks ‘normal’ walking up to their car in handicap spots.

    Please don’t yell at us or give us the stare. I’ve had people yell at me for using it, even with a valid tag. I have chronic pain, and just want to make doing groceries a little easier.

    When laws are no longer enforced people stop obeying those laws

  Do they expect a wheelchair driver to hop out and remove the chain before they park?

  Intellectual Disability is a disability, but it’s really considered quite regressive to talk about it that way.

    If you are mentally disabled you shouldn’t be driving a car

      Autism is a mental disability. Most autistic people can drive as well as neurotypicals.

      But I agree that nobody should be driving a car, because cars are bad.

  Here’s another. If two people are parked like this and the spaces are tight:

  _____________  
  | F |   | F |   
  | B |   | B | 
  

  Then you should reverse into the space between them, like so:

  _____________  
  | F |  B| F |   
  | B |  F| B | 
  

  so your passenger door is close to the passenger door of the car next to you and there’s a bigger gap between your car’s driver’s door and the third car’s driver’s door.

  Or like this if you drive on the wrong side of the road:

  _____________  
  | F |B  | F |   
  | B |F  | B |
