One time I used a disabled parking space I got caught

Shiraz 4.99

Some people can easily sail through life, anytime I try & take a shortcut I get caught.

At lunchtime I'd only 30 minutes to get a bank lodgement done, all spaces were full & I did the wrong thing but I've never known anyione else to get pulled up.
As I came out of the bank it looked as if I was in the clear but then came a tap on my window from a concerned citizen who'd seen me walk out fully able.
She asked me about some permit thing but I fogged her off pretending to be Polish & not understanding.
She stopped me pulling out by standing behind the car & as luck would have it a warden arrived.
I haven't even read my ticket yet such was my rage, had to give up my Polish act aswell with your one standing there.
She nearly died from a smugness overdose.

I've come in here to lick my wounds, on the hit list of offences this has to be near the very bottom, Yes ?.

Only scummers park in a disabled spot if they're not disabled.

Edit

Glad the woman did that . its something I wanted to do to someone for ages!
Usually its the smug/selfish/ignorant pricks that park in the spaces when they're not supposed to.

You should have done this when the warden arrived.

Stupid bitch, you shouldve run her over.

Admittedly, some consistency in matters like this would be nice but that would mean we would live in a perfect world and that would be truly awful too.

Hopefully you get locked up in a Peruvian prison or fined by a German copper.

Would have tun over the cnut.

At least you didn't hit a disabled person in the head with a Frisbee or call them names at the front seat of a rollercoaster!

Should have put on a stutter.

Did you make the **** lodgement in full public view?
It may not be a ticket,just an invitation to a threesome...

Luckily, I am perfect and own a large equine. From his back I will look down the spine of my nose at you; for I have never made an error of judgement in my life, ever. Never.

I'm suer all other posters are the same OP

tough break op...the woman from your story seems like a proper cnut...

How many disabled spaces were there? If you parked in the only one, then serves you right. If there were more than one and you made sure to leave one free, then tough break.

Gran Hermano

Some people have no consideration. OP you fully deserved your comeuppance.

Should have used the mother & child space instead.

Next time just crap your pants and say throw the poo at the ticket guy

What to do with people who park in disabled spaces ?

Make them eligible.

Let them without stones and all that op

You'd think, wouldn't you? And I do understand your frustration but if you'd ever tried to manage an incapacitated person in a wheelchair, in the rain, unable to access a designated parking space, you'd understand why some people make it a mission to stamp out the practice! I've struggled many times to transport a very elderly, blind and immobile person in and out of the car and wheelchair and "it ain't easy". The chair itself is heavy and perpetuates the tennis elbow pain every time, before you ever get to lift the patient!

You're just unfortunate that you were apprehended by Wonder Woman today; if it'd been me, I'd have been too afraid to say anything to you. After all, if you're going to park in a disabled space when you're fit and well, you could be capable of anything!!! Maybe even punch my lights out!!!

I was telling someone the other day about the time I double parked on Rathgar road to go in to the chippy. The garda came along, gave me a wag of the finger and told me to hurry up. That was in the late 80s.

Nowadays I would be doing time in mountjoy.

How do you make sure you leave one free? By not slewing the car in sideway with the hand brake and taking up two

manonboard

I've always thought it is not considered parking if you are still in the car when the warden/parking person/clamper gets to you??

Could you refute the ticket?

Jaysus, hardly worth the bother in fairness, just wheel them round the house & tell them it's Disneyland, not going to know the difference are they.

I had considered to go full retard but my Polish impersonation would be better.
Also, people may have questioned what a obviously incapacitated person was doing driving a car, I feared a lynch mob if it went wrong.

I work with people with disabilities - and I cannot underestimate how f**kin infuriating it is to have a disabled parking space taken by someone who doesn't need it.. the standard spaces are too small to load wheelchair in and out off

You should have ran her over and when the warden showed up claim ya didnt see her because you are partially blind and hence why you were using the space.

anncoates

I'm so outraged.

That woman has some cojones. Fair play to her.
Op, you were clearly in the wrong. Hand in your permission to drive at the nearest Garda station, do not pass go.

Hahaha you're gonna burn in Hell son. See you there.

That made me laugh so hard that some pee came out. Worth it though.

Shame I'm on a teleconference with my American overlords.
