People who park in disabled places without a blue badge

I'm hundred percent behind people with an obvious or completely hidden disability being able to use disabled parking spaces. There should always be more than is necessary and no one should ever presume that because someone doesn't have an obvious problem, that they are taking the Mick.
But! There is definitely a class of people, who roar into disabled or parent child spaces,( sometimes they take two!) who are the worst kind of arrogant, conceited, I don't give a **** about anyone else. They generally drive flashy cars with personalised number plates. Not that everyone who drives cars like that are all bad people.

As harsh as this sounds, they can only park there if they are displaying a blue ticket.

Even valid ticket holders could be fined if they simply just forget to display it.

I once worked in the vehicle security market and a senior cop (who later got into a public spat with a politician for watching porn) told me that plain clothes police often set up at big shopping centres watching people park in blue badge spots.

The people that disregard that are often sociopathic, they have no regard or empathy for the suffering of others, they take from society and almost always stray into illegal behaviour. The police would regularly find in one day at a particular shopping centre 10-20 people that had warrants out for their arrest parking in blue badge spots.

That was an initiative trialled in Huddersfield in 1999. I don't think the results backed up the theory. Not sure though.
 
It's shocking. Although it's the usual 'not all disabilities are visual' etc.

Just sit in tesco or asda car park. The amount of women parking in child spaces with no kids or ones that are 10+. Just so they can park closer to the entrance. This isn't a women rant... Its always women (usually in an SUV).

Don't get me started on people who don't return a trolly. Just dump it in a parking bay. Boils my p*ss😒

I had a go at a feller the other day was just about to park in a parent and child space as I have a toddler and some one cut in really quickly from the other way, a black Audi a6, was sure their was no kids with them and I was right. So I waited for him to get out and and Shouted those spaces are meant for people with little kids you lazy prat use your legs. When the feller turned round I realised it was my brother in law, 🤣🤦‍♂️.
 
It's one of many examples of rudeness you will see in different parts of a shopping experience.

I don't know if it's just my local branch, but when I go to Aldi during the daytime you have often got auld Cliff blocking the dropped kerb for trolleys to enter the store because Brenda is his queen and can't possibly walk across the carpark with a single bag of shopping, so he must be chivalrous and wait for her right there. With his engine running.

These people might have nice cars, might have knackered cars, young or old... They're all just a bit thick.

The older I get, the worse I get.

I get enraged when selfish people park in disabled spots who aren't showing a blue badge and are CLEARLY completely able bodied.

I was at the supermarket and just about to enter the door when a car parked up - a couple in their 20s inside. Only one blue badge space left.
They notice me looking and laugh. They get out to reveal themselves, unsurprisingly, as two fat chavs with neck tattoos, air max et al. As usual, I was quick to judge and, as usual, I was right. 🤪

Just as unsurprising was that I impotently, wimpishly said nothing for fear of direct confrontation. If I thought I might get away with it, I would have gladly murdered them both with an axe, right there in the car park, and left them for the birds to eat.
But I needed a card for our Dad and some cornettos.

We have a disabled child, but its mental, not physical. We get some proper funny looks from people when we park up and she hops out of the car absolutely fine and both her parents do too. I don't care anymore, but I've had to explain to people (usually old) not to judge based on what they can see and even had to tell one lady to phuq off when she said kids can't get mental conditions.
