    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 have no sympathy for you if I'm honest as my sister is full retard. Next time use the normal spots!

    Sounds like the same woman I met, accosted me when I had my head in the boot. She didn't look so smug though when I closed the boot and got into a different car and drove off :) I was only was only getting a childs buggy back from someone that had borrowed it :pac:

    I don't drive myself but her carer is always giving out, the eejit doesn't even have a permit though :rolleyes:

    I dont condone parking in a disabled space but I have to say, I fuucking hate busybodies like her! If she did that to me, she'd need a disabled parking
    space by the time I'd finished with her :P

    Can't believe the lengths people will go to to squirm their way around a well-deserved fine after they've been caught acting the maggot.

    NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR LAME ASS EXPLANATIONS!
    => MAN UP
    => PAY UP
    => SHUT THE F UP!

    Or something like that.

    I thought disabled people wanted to be treated like everyone else?
    Let them drive around for 20 mins looking for a spot while there's no-one in the ones beside the door.

    OP, you should have run that b*tch over.
    Then she could have availed of the spots


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61 ✭✭NotVeryHappy


    Fair play to you OP. It's a free country and looking after number 1 is important

    I do the same from time to time, and have never been caught

    One time some old lad went mad at me because his wife was in a zimmer frame and he had to park about 10m away

    I told him to **** off and smashed my door into his knee. That was the end of that

    If they had a lame ass maybe they were entitled to the disabled spot tbf

    Her actions blocked the space for longer.

    I wouldn't park in a disabled space & it annoys me when people who don't need the spot park there out of laziness... but that woman sounds like a right busybody & I'd love to see just how many times she has broken the rules out of convenience herself

    ...why didn't you just say to the warden that you hadn't parked there, just pulled in 2 seconds ago & was just dropping someone off or something, therefore not actually parked...then this righteous busybody got all up in your business, using herself as a human barricade? It'd be your word against hers, then you could drive off all smug

    No sympathy for you OP.

    When I have my head shaved I used to pull that Polish stunt when I was in work (bouncer) and laugh when I'd get a load of abuse about f*cking off back to my own country.

    I use disabled toilets all the time :)

    You should have done this when the warden arrived.

    IT crowd clip
    That episode is one of the funniest half hours of television ever
    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.
    Ah, come on. It's not the end of the world.

    Fair play to the OP for trying the Polish accent!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,518 ✭✭✭✭GreeBo


    OP I declare SHENANIGANS!

    If the traffic warden didnt arrive until you were in your car trying to leave then they cant ticket you.
    Its not illegal to stop there, just to park there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,485 ✭✭✭Donnelly117


    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.

    Jesus you are a terrible human being...Im glad you got a ticket


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,457 ✭✭✭✭beauf


    Curious what is on the ticket.

    Was the space on private ground or public. If its private I wonder what the legal status is.

    You're a gas man, you really are! The only trouble with your plan is, they're not always totally ga ga just because they can't walk, and they usually know the difference between the doctor's office or the A&E and a quick scoot round the garden! But you do make me laugh so you're worth forgiving.......this time!!! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 307 ✭✭Mrs W


    You deserve a ticket for parking there, end of story. Whether it was only for a minute, first time doing it, whatever, there's no excuse for being so ignorant and thinking you're above anyone else.

    I'm delighted that the woman said it to you, standing behind you to block you was a bit much though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,977 ✭✭✭SCOOP 64


    your first mistake was as you say "walk out fully able" i always take on a bad limp until i get back to the car. if any body ask waiting for disable badge, but rarely ask if you use the limp.

    He was wrong and deserved the ticket but some random busybody getting involved is worse.

    How does your car fit? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 201 ✭✭username_x


    I reckon you deserved the ticket. The woman behind the car seems a bit much though!!

    The real question is, why a polish accent? I laughed so much when I read that

    Stupid bitch, you shouldve run her over.

    That might have disabled her.

    But handily, she would have been in the disabled spot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,185 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    Wouldn't park in a disabled spot myself but I also despise busybodies.

    I pulled in to the mother and baby space one evening and this wan in the next space started to voice her disapproval.

    She annoyed the hell out of me but I said nothing and just kept walking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,917 ✭✭✭JimsAlterEgo


    OP, I think you were justified in parking there, you just need to get your permit for next time.
    People keep forgetting they are not just for the physically disabled


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 906 ✭✭✭Eight Ball


    Disgusting thing to do OP. Delighted you got caught.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,703 ✭✭✭Mr.David


    What to do with people who park in disabled spaces ?

    Make them eligible.

    Yeah, same for mother & child spaces too....

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

    I fogged her off pretending to be Polish & not understanding.

    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.
    .


    That is the worst part of what happened! :eek:(From a purely selfish point of view only)
    Well, I laughed anyway :)
