I have a disability and want to smack these jerks with my cane.
I accidentally scratch those cars with my keys every time.
You sound clumsy AF.
I should be very thankful that were I live, people rarely park on reserved spots and pretty much all shopping carts are being returned.
Laws should permit people with disabilities to legally scratch and dent the hell out of a vehicle parked like that.
There are certain behaviors I feel like should mean the perpetrator forfeits the protection of law. Parking in bike lanes is also one.
If I was on a jury where they were prosecuting someone for smashing up a car parked in the bike lane or handicap spot, I’d probably find not guilty.
Well, if someone was illegally parked in a bike lane and their car was hit by a cyclist, what legal protection would they have? I’d say zero. 😄
We live in a society, and all must do our part to enforce the social contract.
It should be legal for anyone to key the shit out of cars that park like this
Remember kids, if you see a guy in a wheelchair keying a car…go help. He can’t reach up high.
Ever seen what firefighters do to a car parked in front of a hydrant they need? Handicapped people should take note.
Schrader valves can be easily removed with a cheap tool. The valve cores aren’t expensive, but remove one on 2 wheels, and they aren’t going anywhere and won’t actually cause damage.
You should always travel with a baseball bat and a shot gun for exactly this scenario. Some lives don’t matter.
(Sarcasm…I guess)
Food delivery (e.g. Uber) vehicles that park in disabled parking spots make me so angry. I’m always tempted to steal their license plates.
Fun story time that, for legal reasons, is a complete fabrication:
Was going food shopping one weekend. No smaller carts inside so walked out and went to one of the drop offs to grab one. On the way back, I see someone put their car into reverse from the “ramp”. Some people stop and wait for them to leave. I just keep walking and pushing my cart while considering my speed “just in case”.
They IMMEDIATELY peel out and smash into the cart. It goes under their tire and rips off most of the bumper and pops their tire (which was fucking terrifying). They get out and start screaming at me and threatening to call the cops and kick my ass. I explain “So… you are going to call the cops and explain to them you didn’t look when backing up from an illegal parking space and hit a pedestrian? I’m in a bit of a rush but I guess I can stick around for that”. Lady who was trying to get her walker out of her car even volunteers to be a witness.
Had a good old laugh and walked to get a new cart. They were still there freaking out when I left the store.
You’re one of my new favorite people.

Did everybody clap?
Has it become legal in America to park in the fire lane in front of shopping centers? Last couple years most of them around me are just full of cars.
Under normal circumstances, the parking lot is private property, meaning that police do not have jurisdiction there regarding parking or traffic. In other words, you can’t get a ticket in a parking lot. Unless the property owner has requested that the police patrol the lot and write tickets, and the police agree to do so, and are allowed to (or not disallowed) by local ordinance. That’s going to be pretty rare, though.
In cases like yours, and OP’s, the resolution is for the owner of the parking lot to have the vehicle(s) towed. At a standalone store, the store is not going to be eager to anger a customer by towing their car. At a strip mall, the operators of the stores probably do not also own the parking lot, and so wouldn’t have the power to tow.
Apparently it’s legal here as long as the drive puts on their hazard lights.
In fact everywhere in the states apparently it’s safe to park if you just put on your hazards now.
This is infuriatingly common where I live.
FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY:
If you wanted to pierce YOUR OWN TIRE for some reason, if you place a nail under a tire, (assuming you considered roll angle) it would pierce a tire quite nicely.
Rubber would seal pretty well to make it a slow leak, but cutting a channel into the side with an angle grinder or dremmel would help.
For maximum air leakage, take a 1/4in or 3/8 in steel pipe, then cut it into 4 in bars, then cut those bars in half with a diagonal cut. Place sharp end into tire groove.
Again, this is for educational purposes only if you wanted to get air out of your tire very quickly.
you can just pick up a bb sized pebble, unscrew the valve stem cover, drop the pebble into the cover and screw it back on. The tire will deflate with no damage over the next few minutes. Free, easy, nothing to connect you to it if you kneel down to tie your shoes between the cars…
Please also remember that technically, there is nothing stopping you from buying a giant permanent marker
If you happen to accidentally draw a massive cock and balls on somecunt’s windscreen that would be unfortunate
Please do not commit a crime in retaliation to someone commiting a crime. The best answer is to report them so they can be ticketed.
Do USA have mall security? In my country they will get their car clamped if reported and have to pay the fine to get it unlock.
Wait until this guy realizes the police don’t give a fuck and people wouldn’t consider vigilantism if pigs actually did their damn jobs.
I live in a place where the police do care. Its almost all automated.
So people are aware: If you are handicapped, you CAN park in the striped lines. In many cases, it’s the only feasible option for that person to safely exit.
For example: If directly to the left of the spot is a wall and your vehicles’ automated ramp deploys to the left, they have to park in the stripes.
Adding insult to injury in this case, it’s possible the handicapped person can’t enter their fucking car.
Are you sure it’s legal? Why can’t you just back in if it’s on the wrong side?
Reverse in? Like everyone should basically do anyway?
You can’t back into a spot in a diagonal parking lot.
Devils advocate, how do you know they’re not disabled?
I seldom take my grandmother to the shops because she’s adamant we go in person and I don’t have a disabled sticker on my car.
I will park in the disabled spot anyway because she needs a fucking wheelchair.
Be careful whos cars you vandalise kids, you better be absolutely fucking sure because I would go ape shit at you.
The white car isn’t parked in a disabled spot. Its parked in front of the ramp for a wheelchair, which isn’t a space
judging from the plates its also a dealer car or at least not street legal
I would get so much satisfaction seeing it towed.
