Exactly what I was thinking!

I feel like doing what you did Luke, every time I shop at my local Asda supermarket. They don't have the deposit system there, and the amount lazy-ass sons of bitches that park illegally in the disabled bays and then leave their fucking trolley in the adjacent bay make my blood boil. My fiancée is disabled, so we use those bays for a reason, she really can't walk for long at all, the supermarket run is enough, having to park halfway across the car park because some self-important asshat wants to park his piece of shit car 1 metre from the entrance because he's too fucking lazy to walk another 5 metres just takes it too far. I feel like people who illegally use the disabled bays should be fucking made disabled. See how they like it when able bodied people abuse those bays.

I think you did fucking right Luke, I'm glad there's somebody out there who will say something. You're the man. I wish I could speak my mind and give these people the telling off they deserve.

for the people nay-saying, perhaps you don't understand what it's like being disabled. Every day tasks are such a hurdle for disabled people. It breaks my heart when my fiancee can't get out of bed because it hurts too much to move.

Not to derail too much, but is this a typo? Or do the British actually always pluralize meter?

Luke, while I don't think in the long run your tirade was worth it, I fully agree with your opinions on the subject and it was a hilarious read.

Type-o, well spotted. It's fixed now.

I absolutely love this idea. If they wanna use the handicap parking spots, fine. Break their legs and they can freely continue to use them. Man, it is a shame it won't actually happen.

My grandfather had 3 strokes, which caused him to lose most of his eyesight and threw off his sense of balance, among other things. Handicap parking spots really helped a lot for getting him around. Luckily, there was always an open spot for us to park in, but I would have been pissed if all spots were taken and we saw a perfect capable asshole using one of them.

While I agree that Luke went overboard, I'm probably no better. I've been known to hock giant loogies on the windshields of people who park in no parking zones, handicap spots, etc.

Disgusting, I know... :oops:

Luke, I think you shouldn't go to your church and tell people in it about this story...

Apparently no one else is mature enough to see the fault in what you did.

Sounds more like an instance of you picking on a fat person to make yourself feel important. You're an adult (I can assume), get out of the fucking playground; you should have stopped picking on people the day your mullet-wearing self failed out of school.

Seriously, that was a jerk thing to do. Yeah, she is lazy, but in no way deserved a tirade like that.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves. Talk about misplaced anger. You know someone who's handicapped? Whoopdie do. So does everyone. My friend is going to be in a wheelchair his whole life. But you don't see me assaulting a lady at the fucking grocery store in front of her child because she didn't push her shopping cart back to the store.

Internet thugs all talking big.
But this lady (I use the word lady loosely) was a teeter-tottering amalgam of characteristics I despise. She was the caricature of why so many foreigners see Americans as fat, lazy, self-centered, rude, and uneducated people.
Oh wow, that's a zinger. She's the reason Americans are seen as self-centered, rude, uneducated people.

I take it you don't live with your 'friend who's in a wheelchair'. Until you experience first hand the ignorance of these people then I'm sorry, you can't really provide any weight in this debate. These people make life difficult for people who really don't need their life making any more difficult than it already is.

No, I don't. You're right. If my wife were in a wheelchair and I saw some fat lady hogging the spot I'd probably be a little rude. But I would like to hope I'd have the tact of not screaming at her in front of her kid.


EDIT: And I don't want to get in an internet forum fight. I shouldn't have posted anything in retrospect and I won't be posting anymore. Pacem faciam; silens ero.
