What do you think about fit people who park in disabled spaces at supermarkets?The stores should take actions.

Answer 1

They are lazy, despicable people, yes the stores should slap really sticky notices all over their windows that take weeks to get the glue off

Answer 2

without a permit, it is illegal to park in the disabled spaces. I have seen people do this, however, and unfortunately not get caught. Where I live, you can get fined just for parking over the line into a disabled space, and the fines are really big!

I think it might just be too hard to enforce. It would be nice if the stores could keep an eye out though. :)

Answer 3

How do you know they are fit? Some people requires these spaces for reasons that might not seem obvious to you.

A person who has a hypersensitivity to the sun needs to park close because they can't be exposed to the sun for more than a few minutes.

A person with a heart condition may be able to walk just fine, but become tired very quickly.

A person who has asthma may not be able to be outside breathing too long.

Too many people think these space are just for people who use wheelchairs or have trouble walking, but there are lots of medical reasons for people needing them that only a medical doctor or family member would know,

Answer 4

I hate it. I usually mutter something like "yeah, really disabled aren't ya" as I walk past them. Sometimes I leave sticky notes on their windshields. Doesn't do jack but it makes me feel better.

One time, gotta love her, my friend saw this lady park in a handicap place, get out of her car and sort of limp in. She got her cart and as she walked along, lo and behold, the limp disappeared and off she went. My friend let out a "it's a miracle Mame. When you got out of your car you could hardly walk and now look at you walking along better than I am". The lady got beet red and slunk off.

One time I saw this sleek looking chick part her humongous van in one & haul out 4 kids. Nobody was handicapped. I lfet her a big note. My 86 year old legally blind mother walks into the store from a regular parking place because she likes to talk even though she has a parking pass that I can use when she's in the car. We've used in twice in two years. No like.

I don't think the stores can do anything legally. The police probably wouldn't bother ocming either. Too busy.

Ruby, you are disgustingly selfish. Just because you have an unruly, uncontrolled brat that you cannot control doesn't mean you should blantantly park in a handicapped area. Don't subject others to your screaming mistake. Someday your mother may need to park in a place like that and some ignorant fool will take her place. Bet you feel different then. That man was right to blast you. Too bad he didn't report you and get you fined.

Answer 5

Icall it laziness as these spaces are meant for people who are genuinely disabled. Certain big stores do come down on people who do this. As a disabled person l remember my badge slipped down the screen out of sight and l was asked why l had used this space and told not to park there again but l showed them my blue badge and they were ok otherwise l would have got fined they said.

Answer 6

I don't think its right.
But I will say that I have parked in a disabled car space once as all the parent/baby spaces were taken. There tends to be a lot more disabled spaces than parent/baby.
Its too tight to fit in a normal parking space. And also I do notice that people with no babies/prams/babyseats/and that are fit do park in these spaces as well as disabled,

Answer 7

If the person truly isn't in need of the permit, then it's completely unfair and an abuse of the system.

However, often times you can't tell if someone "needs" the permit or not. There are some disabilities that aren't obviously, but still prohibit the person from walking well or for long periods of time.

I'd say, don't worry too much about it. Karma will bite them if they're doing wrong, and if they're really disabled, then it'd be silly to worry.

Answer 8

If you see someone park and then enter the shop, you should follow them around the shop, repeating at the top of you voice and telling all and sundry that they parked in a disabled spot and there is nothing wrong with them. It may be childish but hopefully it will make them think twice about doing it again.

Answer 9

It does wind me up but what winds me up even more is when the disabled drivers take up a mother and baby space. There are always loads of disabled spaces and maybe 4 mother and baby (sorry parent and child) spaces but they insist on going for our spots. Aaaaaahhhhhhh!

Able bodied people/those withou kids should park in normal spots-there are hundreds of them!

Answer 10

There always seems to be more disabled spaces than normal spaces >_> I don't think it's right though, I'd never park in one.

What I HATE is mother-child parking spaces, as if you can't drag your lazy *** 5 year old 20 metres across a car park...

Answer 11

First,don't assume because someone appears fit that they are--some disabilities are not visible.

However, if the person does not have decal indicating that they are disalbed, jsut ask the store manager to call the police--or do it yourself. If a few of these jerks started getting tickets, they might start behaving themselves.
