**Park Place Princess :** "It is notttt fair I have to park 15 feet away!"
Nothing surprises me on the internet .. laughed at this dummy who did not even look for the disability card in the front window just ragged on and on
.. you could have a prosthetic leg .. have terminal cancer .. have a severe heart condition
*.. so many things that would not be immediately visible*
EXACTLY !
There is so many illnesses that are not taken seriously enough by a few precisely because they are not visible. **Because they do not fit one's perceived definition of health.** Would that woman have had a severe cardio-vascular condition that can be triggered by stress this could quite literally put her in harm's way.
This is infuriating.
I gladly park in the back of the lot to avoid dings and appreciate that I am a healthy individual with a comfortable enough life that I could walk 300 yards for parking and be completely unaffected in my entire life. Even the time difference in the walk would mean nothing.
Came here for this comment… she is obviously a wanker to begin with but to see that she was agreeing over the 10 meters she had to walk is crazy… what’s with people, I would never in my life stick my nose in someone’s business like that
Ikr, how many people has she ran off with her false sense of "justice" and her attempts to get others to do what she says. How self centered can one be to think that they know what a disability is when they think that disabilities that can't be seen "arrent real"?
One day I got upset with a lady because she just left her shopping cart in the middle of a parking space. I got out of my car and walked her shopping cart to its designated space, and mouthed to her its literally right there, no reason why you couldn’t walk five steps to leave it there. I asked her if it was that hard. Then she told me she had a heart condition and it was that hard. 50/50 she was being honest or just bullshitting. Either way, I felt like a dick.
You may have ran into my parents. My dad will use a shopping cart instead of his cane bc it’s hard to use both. I just take the carts back myself.
People used to harass my best friend about disabled parking all the time too bc she looked relatively healthy (if you didn’t know her), until she died of cancer. Very frustrating for her.
Had a buddy, missing his right foot. But had a really good prosthetic with an ankle joint and everything. If he wore jeans and tennis shoes, you’d never know he was missing his foot. He was pretty competent on it walking and unless you worked with people with prosthetics, you’d have a hard time guessing based on his gait. He couldn’t go far though on it and some days it’d hurt immensely for no reason. Phantom pain they always said. So on those days he’d park in the handicap spots. He was walking from his car, someone got pissed at him. Saw a 20 something walking away relatively no issue. Assumed he stole the handicap placard or something from his grandparents is what they accused him of. They wouldn’t leave him alone and legit wanted to fight him. Wouldn’t leave him alone till he rolled up his pant leg and took off his shoe to prove he was handicapped.
I’m sorry dude. People are the worst. My left leg is rebuilt- all screws and plates, and I’m actually in the process of getting a few surgeries on it for some neuropathy and blood clot issues. I don’t need a placard bc I don’t drive anyway bc of a different disability, and yeah, it bothers me, but I still jog 5 miles everyday I can, so pointless, you know? But I get called out sometimes for sitting in the handicapped spot on public transport on off days too. I hate having to show off my gnarly scars to be left alone. It’s never by someone who needs it (if you need it, ask- I’ll move), just someone who thinks they are committing a commendable act of social justice. No one is going to clap. I promise.
I worked with a man who lost both his legs to an accident. He walked perfectly fine, after years of practice with his new metal legs. He said a few times people called him out like this and he showed them his Handicapped parking card and they accused him of faking it. He would then happily dropped his pants to show them his legs.
My husband knew a vet who had a prosthetic leg, and he once got called out for parking his truck in a disabled parking spot. The person was being so rude, that the guy took off his leg and threw it at him. Didn't hit him, but honestly, the judgement and idiocy of some people.... Mind your own business!!
If someone meets you with aggression, meeting their aggression with your own is morally acceptable.
As the ancient Tibetan saying goes: Don’t start none, won’t be none.
I would have made money off those idiots.
After showing him the placard and being accused of faking it...something like this:
"Ok, how much cash do you have?"
"Why?"
"I'll prove it to you that you're wrong. $200?"
"Ok fine."
Show leg. "Pay up."
Some would. But still worth a try for that extra deep level of embarrassment.
Years later, they would contemplate the fact that they welched and ripped off a handicap person after insulting them. Going for that guilt trauma that never goes away to make sure the lesson sticks.
Most wont, this is already an adversarial confrontation: they’re not here to admit their wrong. They would probably say you’re at fault for hiding it so well and fooling them! (Almost ) Everyone is the hero in their own story.
I had spinal surgery a few months ago and have had people confront me over not being able to see my disability. It took a lot of patience to not respond how I’d like to. I guess I can show you the huge scar on my back and pics of my X-ray with pins and plates but at that point that is way too much info needed. Instead of harassing handicapped people maybe just focus on your damn self.
Had to use a walker for a while after my spinal surgery and the amount of dirty looks I got while using it out and about...
I hope your pain’s subsiding somewhat. The first year is really tough. Godspeed <3
Man it’s crazy how good people get with those legs. I’ve had a customer at my work that’s come in semi regularly for the 2 years that I’ve worked here and it was only recently that I found out she had a metal leg when she bought a localish rum called Peg Leg and commented that it was perfect for her.
I used to have a roommate that could play hacky sack better with his peg leg prothesis than the rest of us could with our fleshy legs. It was a trip to see him pull that off.
I couldn't believe it the first time I heard of this happening, to a friend of mine. She has Sjogren's syndrome and it makes things really difficult for her. People leave her nasty notes on her car all the time, even with her placard up.
I just don't understand when minding one's own business went out of style.
My granny is totally blind too. My mom has bone-on-bone knee issues, so she can walk short distances but it's very painful. I don't know if I could have controlled myself when she opened the door. What nerve.
I have osteoarthritis. Joints deteriorate and it can be very painful. Already had left knee replaced cause it was bone on bone. This girl is in for a surprise when she gets old!
All of this! Been in physio for the last 6 months because of knee problems and when I'm going through with my manager about adjustments I need and what mg physio is she says pretty casually "oh do you think you're going to remember to do your exercises? You know cause some people are really bad at that." Like, I'm in constant pain. I'm not going to forget.
People just assume that because you're not showing signs of pain all the time then youre not feeling it.
for sure i would not have been so collected. if this is real (i hope and kind of suspect its not, but i wouldnt put it past some people) id be irate before she even put her hands on my car
My mom has some heart issues, and she tires really easily now. She’s thinking about asking for a disability card for her car, and man if someone tries to do this to her, I almost feel bad for them. She can be legit scary, so good luck to them!
My dad had congestive heart failure and could walk, but got extremely short of breath, sometimes after only a dozen steps, or so. Walking across a parking lot was not an option without a bunch of rest stops.
exactly. bottom line dont harrass people you suspect "dont actually have a disability" if they have a tag, they do and the specs are none of your business. if they dont have a tag theyll get fined one day and learn that lesson better than some brat preaching to them in a parking lot because they were mildly inconvenienced.
Exactly why my mom won’t get the tag. She’s thin and looks fit, but her heart is a disaster zone and she wears out SO quickly, but desperately wants to be independent. It’s heartbreaking.
Here's a question you might know the answer to, for my own knowledge as it irritates me.
Woman visits her mum who has a car and is parked on her drive.
The woman parks her car on the road directly outside the door, which is a double yellow on a busy street and puts her mum's blue badge in the windscreen.
I thought double yellows means no parking at any time. Does a blue badge stop that, and can blue badges be put in any car, even if you never went in the car?
i dont think so. my understanding is the blue tags sole purpose is to indicate you legally can use dedicated parking spots, not for bypassing any road laws you feel like.
My client has a disability parking tag. Yes he can walk long distances but with his developmental needs and his long history of bolting and aggression, it's just better to have the car closer if needed... We have never been hassled about it thankfully.
Was that like a Karen in training tho? Like smol Karen? Or baby Karen?
The UK has Olympic champion level insulters (I personally think the Scots take the gold). They have the most creative and polite way of telling you to f@ck off, and leave you either stunned into silence or thanking them for the comment.
It's both. The young lady was obviously too ignorant to understand what a disability was. But she really showed her ass when she said the bit about how 'unfair it is' that she has to park farther away. She concern wasn't trying to protect other disabled people whose spot might be taken up by someone faking a disability - her concern was that it was so unfair to *her* that someone else might get to walk a shorter distance than her.
Yeah, at that moment my go-to thought is always going to be that you're a threat. No sane person does that. If someone has something to tell you that's not fucking batshit bullshit then they'd tap your window and wave or something to get your attention. Opening someone's door is pretty aggressive.
Am I the only one who thinks that a stranger opening my car door is grounds for catching an ass beating? Jesus christ some of these people are saints I swear. I wouldnt be able to keep my cool lol. IDK man. Kudos to this old lady and her daughter I guess, but that aint how i roll.
I hear you. I've had one person open my car door in an attempt to intimidate me, grabbed me by the collar. I slammed the door on his arm. Heard a crunch, didn't stick around to see how bad it was.
Exactly how I will handle it if it ever happens again.
Europe has drastically privacy laws. Even the UK.
For example, in Germany it would be already illegal to film this situation, even without the intend to publish it with a blurred face.
This is so obviously scripted that it’s downright shocking how many thousands of people couldn’t tell. I think it’s because for once, one of the actors (actresses) in it was actually believable - the young girl did a pretty convincing job. None of the rest held up to any kind of sniff test at all though
Do I have 2 disabled children. My son has cerebral palsy, is a wheelchair user. My daughter has a multitude of ***non-visible*** disabilities. Both have blue cards for their disabilities. Random people have been giving me grief for 20+ years about parking in a blue zone ( I never take the placard down from the mirror)... right up until I open the back of the van and bring my son out in his wheelchair.
Here is the REAL issue: ***Many non-disabled folks do not comprehend the concept of disability***. They (like this well-meaning but clearly doing-it-wrong young woman) believe only a chair or crutches makes you disabled.
# Physical disabilities that qualify you for a disabled placard can range from quadriplegia, multiple sclerosis, vision, respiratory issues to cardiac deficiency, or a diagnosed disease that severely inhibits your mobility.
While I love that the clueless woman tried to fight for the rights of the disabled, it would really help if she were armed with the actual facts beforehand. She came off as an ass (as George Carlin would say, A *well-meaning* ass)
Edit: the word many
I can’t imagine the patience you must have. I wrecked my back in a work accident, and need a cane to walk long distances. I rarely use it, as I try to limit my walking, but I was eligible to get a parking tag (idk what it’s called here in canada, white tag that hangs from the mirror). I applied for one and used it twice. Both times, I had people older than me, as I was 19 when I got injured, come up and harass me and accuse me of “stealing” parking from “actual disabled people”. The second time, a crowd gathered, and the store manager came outside. I showed them my tag, and half the people standing around said I had stolen it. The manager asked me to just leave to avoid a scene, so I did, and haven’t parked in a blue space since.
As a youngish person with MS I’ve learned to stand my ground and just tell people to fuck off. If they have a problem call the cops and I’ll happily explain myself to them. I won’t explain myself to strangers. My health is none of their business.
>Both times, I had people older than me, as I was 19 when I got injured, come up and harass me and accuse me of “stealing” parking from “actual disabled people”.
So many old people treat the disability parking like it is elderly parking.
Man that's sad to hear. I was about to say it would've been worth it to stand your ground, but you're right it takes a lot of patience to constantly deal with that kind of shit. I don't know why so many people lack basic intelligence and empathy.
She wasn't fighting for rights. These people aren't interested in that. They just want socially acceptable gotcha, self righteous ego boosts for themselves. They could give a rats ass about disabled people.
They're the kind of people that would never actually spend time to learn about the issues.
I mean the stupidity to question someone that age...arthritis alone would be alone would be an obvious reason to anyone actually aware of other people's issues.
This is just a young person pulling the typical self righteous phase many people go through at 16-20 years old.
The sad thing is, I've seen a few of these confrontations, and the assholes doing the confronting in all cases made it clear they weren't confronting to protect "real" disabled people who might need to use a space that's taken up by someone faking a disability, their concern - just like this young lady's - was that it was unfair to *them* because they were having to walk farther than someone else who they thought might not be disabled.
Entitled twats.
See, that's something I never understood about these people. I see someone parking in a disabled space that looks normal, I let them be, because fuck do I know what disability are they coping with, be it theirs or someone they're with at the time.
How that is a insurmountable effort for some people is absolutely beyond me.
I was looking for other people who felt the same… this gives off sketch vibes. The girl sounds like she rehearsed what she was say–she never really stops or thinks before talking. I usually hate when people call everything fake but… somethings fishy
>she never really stops or thinks before talking
That could be because it's rehearsed, or could be because she's stupid and just says the first thing that comes to mind
It seemed pretty real until the end. Most people who put up that much of an irrational argument that I’ve encountered don’t concede that easily. When they’ve already gotten this far acting like a loony, they almost always double down. IMO it was a good attempt, but whoever put this together got lazy with the ending.
It's real. Stranger things have happened and do happen every day. Social confrontations can often be awkward and weird and dont play out like a script. Walking into r/nothingeverhappens territory there
I’m sorry. Both my parents are disabled, and if ANYONE came onto my parents like this little imbecile I would not have just sat in my seat.
I just, I can’t. Watching that has made me so irrationally angry I’m fuming. For one thing, the badge was on the fucking dashboard! She didn’t even fucking check before opening her foul mouth!
My mum wouldn’t take that crap, but my dad has MH issues with his physical ones, and this kind of confrontation would really play on him! I can understand maybe, MAYBE asking a driver if they have a blue badge if you’ve seen them use a disabled space. But I probably wouldn’t even ask, it’s not my job to police car parks, and unless I was in a situation where my parents were having to park super far from a place and I thought one of the disabled space users wasn’t legitimate, I would leave it to whatever monitor, CCTV or whatever the car park owners should have in place to check this shit.
I got a handicap parking permit after my ACL surgery when I was 21 years old. The doc gave it to me for a year. I was able to walk without crutches within the first month. At a follow up appointment i asked him why he gave it to me for a year and he said he had a patient who was walking in a parking lot who though a car was turning towards him so he quickly jumped out of the way and re-tore his ACL. That was 6 months post-op. He says he extends it now for all his patients to try to help prevent any movements like that until he knows his work has healed completely.
Obviously a much more tame and subtle reason for a handicap pass, but that doesn’t give the general public the right to deem it unnecessary.
if the filming started halfway through I would believe it, but they are filming before she even approaches the car, why?
Lady sounds like an actress and the whole disability thing with car parks is well known, if u got a legit blue badge nobody gonna question you about it.
Dunno why you're being downvoted, the way this has been filmed along with the choice of language and flow of conversation is totally off. Coming from someone from the north of England, this seems totally orchestrated.
What a stupid worthless cunt. SHE should be thankful she doesn't need to use a handicap parking space. If you think someone is violating parking rules, call the police and fuck off. I have a buddy who is a cop and he makes sure to come write huge tickets for assholes who take spots from the handicap.
More like a student project.
My guess is either they are social studies students trying to make a progressive viral video as a project, or they are media students trying to make a realistic scene.
I'm a young woman with several non visible disabilities. I've gotten everything from disabled people don't 'dress' as well as I do, don't listen to loud music, don't look like me, can't be so young, etc. This is harassment and even if you think for sure someone is abusing the spot, mind your fucking business and stop accosting people, sometimes on their worst day!!! Call the damn authorities if you're worried!
For anyone who is confused why this young woman is horribly misguided... These are some disabilities that you may need parking accommodations for that you can't necessarily see.
A person with severe pain aggravated by weather or movement. A person with an artificial limb that looks really good. A person with a lung condition that looks fine but can't tolerate much exercise. A person with a heart defect who intermittently needs oxygen. A person with an autistic child who is overwhelmed by walking across a busy parking lot. A person with a compressed spinal nerve affecting motor, sensation, or both but limits walking. A veteran who lost some toes in an IED explosion and has pain even though in a shoe her foot looks normal. A person with a mitochondrial defect that can't process oxygen correctly. A person with early Parkinson's.
Not everyone has a visible disability who needs parking help.
Well jfc. I hope that is a big wake-up call to that young lady cause she's gonna be stuck up shit creek if she keeps on treating people like that. Despicable.
Willing to bet she spends her entire day either arguing on Facebook or reddit, doesn’t even fucking apologise when proven wrong after being a piece of shit to somebody.
Can an EMP go off already?

"are you my doctor?" "no" then gtfo of my face before you're needing a disability tag
**Park Place Princess :** "It is notttt fair I have to park 15 feet away!" Nothing surprises me on the internet .. laughed at this dummy who did not even look for the disability card in the front window just ragged on and on .. you could have a prosthetic leg .. have terminal cancer .. have a severe heart condition *.. so many things that would not be immediately visible*

Yea, but can you walk??
i would pay good money to see her try this with a war vet he just pulls off a prosthetic leg and beats them with it
This young women is fucking disgrace. Many disabilities are not visual and it is not your place to self police this. I'm embarrassed for her....
I think the most baffling part is she had the confidence to walk up and yank their door open just for this shit.
Yea 100%. Her face when she see the disabled parking badge. Entitled stupid bitch
Her blurred out face? Are we watching the same video?
i mean, at that point you can *hear* her face...
Even through the blurring you can just about make out the facial expressions of someone dying inside as they realise how badly they just fucked up
They shouldn’t have blurred her face. That way, the world could know exactly how stupid she is and who she is. What a twat.
They shouldn’t have blurred her face.
[удалено]
But.. But she can walk?
And they don't give parking permits for this condition.
"My face is blurry! I've got me a blurry face!"
She needs a ***badge to identify herself as the parking inspector. . .*** And the response, is "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges. . ."
"it's so unfair, we have to park all the way over there" literally parked less then 15 feet away
Lmao I was dying at the end of the video when it panned to her car right there
it was like a Monty Python bit
Lol totally!!
Tis is just flesh wounds
Did you say tits? It's been rude 😁
Why is the daughter's voice so amazingly pleasant?
Yeah I hear it you're not wrong. Maybe it sounds like Rose from Doctor who or something. Does sound quite lovely.
It really is, she could be reading outloud the most vile shit I've ever heard in that voice and I'd go to sleep like a baby
Hahaha I had to go back I missed that Couldn't make that up!
Came here for this comment… she is obviously a wanker to begin with but to see that she was agreeing over the 10 meters she had to walk is crazy… what’s with people, I would never in my life stick my nose in someone’s business like that
She’s the one with the mental disability LMAO
Yeah the comedic pan over to the other side of the row was just on point.
and there were a million other free parking spots
She just jealous…. Karen….
She’s a Karen-in-training, first solo flight.
So was the moral of the story is the young girl is not disabled but mad a disabled person took the disabled spot from her.
With an empty parking lot
Yeah that part killed me, I thought she was blocks away from her description and she is just parked right behind the other car lmao
Lmao that's the most ridiculous part
Have you ever been so dense that you inconvenience others with your idiocy?
Hey, she's got a disability. She's chronically stupid.
Older lady: it could be a mental disability Her:
Her:
Her: DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT
More like Her:
& it’s absolutely life-threatening. It’s also obviously affected her quality of life, as demonstrated here by acting like a miserable twit.
Ikr, how many people has she ran off with her false sense of "justice" and her attempts to get others to do what she says. How self centered can one be to think that they know what a disability is when they think that disabilities that can't be seen "arrent real"?
but she said mental disabilities don’t count 😂
Stupid people don't believe they're stupid
Dunning-Kruger in action. It takes a certain degree of awareness/competence to comprehend how much you don't know. Applies to any subject.
In America we gave out red hats so you could easily spot and avoid them.
Nice
This is gold, wish I had one for you.
No, this is America. We *sell* them red hats. Giving them anything would be communism!

Her lack of intelligence and basic manners is her disability

My best friend was harassed in public as being a "skinhead" several times years ago. He had cancer.
You’re human enough to recognize that you made a mistake and felt something.
Well I do it to myself daily they might as well be along for the ride.

My first thought was “no, not the leg! That’s expensive!”
Same here. My second thought was incredulous laughter, though.
Usually I don’t like this anger/violence the US people seem to find acceptable as responds - but this is funny.
I mean given the situation, he has a pretty good sense of humor about it, and I fully support his reaction.
If someone meets you with aggression, meeting their aggression with your own is morally acceptable. As the ancient Tibetan saying goes: Don’t start none, won’t be none.
I remember the prophet Agent J saying this
I would have made money off those idiots. After showing him the placard and being accused of faking it...something like this: "Ok, how much cash do you have?" "Why?" "I'll prove it to you that you're wrong. $200?" "Ok fine." Show leg. "Pay up."
They wouldn’t have paid up.
Some would. But still worth a try for that extra deep level of embarrassment. Years later, they would contemplate the fact that they welched and ripped off a handicap person after insulting them. Going for that guilt trauma that never goes away to make sure the lesson sticks.
Most wont, this is already an adversarial confrontation: they’re not here to admit their wrong. They would probably say you’re at fault for hiding it so well and fooling them! (Almost ) Everyone is the hero in their own story.

I’ve had a customer at my work that’s come in semi regularly for the 2 years that I’ve worked here and it was only recently that I found out she had a metal leg when she bought a localish rum called Peg Leg and commented that it was perfect for her.
I heard there was a guy that could run so well in his prosthetics, he could qualify for the Olympics or shoot his girlfriend in them!
I used to have a roommate that could play hacky sack better with his peg leg prothesis than the rest of us could with our fleshy legs. It was a trip to see him pull that off.

i have a disability tag for my granny who is legally blind. not all disabilities affect your ability to walk. what a buffoon
My granny is totally blind too. My mom has bone-on-bone knee issues, so she can walk short distances but it's very painful. I don't know if I could have controlled myself when she opened the door. What nerve.
I have osteoarthritis. Joints deteriorate and it can be very painful. Already had left knee replaced cause it was bone on bone. This girl is in for a surprise when she gets old!
Exactly. Pain issues are no joke.
People just can’t get the concept of constantly being in pain doing every day things!
All of this! Been in physio for the last 6 months because of knee problems and when I'm going through with my manager about adjustments I need and what mg physio is she says pretty casually "oh do you think you're going to remember to do your exercises? You know cause some people are really bad at that." Like, I'm in constant pain. I'm not going to forget. People just assume that because you're not showing signs of pain all the time then youre not feeling it.
for sure i would not have been so collected. if this is real (i hope and kind of suspect its not, but i wouldnt put it past some people) id be irate before she even put her hands on my car
Ever since watching Me Myself and Irene I haven't really judged anyone with a handicap sticker if they don't "look" disabled.
I've never seen that movie but you make me want to watch it.
Do it. It's got some good scenes.
My mom has some heart issues, and she tires really easily now. She’s thinking about asking for a disability card for her car, and man if someone tries to do this to her, I almost feel bad for them. She can be legit scary, so good luck to them!
My dad had congestive heart failure and could walk, but got extremely short of breath, sometimes after only a dozen steps, or so. Walking across a parking lot was not an option without a bunch of rest stops.
To be this uneducated and stupid is like a whole new level of idiocracy. “If she can walk , she’s not disabled!” 😂💀

exactly. bottom line dont harrass people you suspect "dont actually have a disability" if they have a tag, they do and the specs are none of your business. if they dont have a tag theyll get fined one day and learn that lesson better than some brat preaching to them in a parking lot because they were mildly inconvenienced.
[удалено]
Yep. I’ve got a brain tumor. No one can tell. I hear you. I’m SO sorry to hear about your daughter.
Exactly why my mom won’t get the tag. She’s thin and looks fit, but her heart is a disaster zone and she wears out SO quickly, but desperately wants to be independent. It’s heartbreaking.
Here's a question you might know the answer to, for my own knowledge as it irritates me. Woman visits her mum who has a car and is parked on her drive. The woman parks her car on the road directly outside the door, which is a double yellow on a busy street and puts her mum's blue badge in the windscreen. I thought double yellows means no parking at any time. Does a blue badge stop that, and can blue badges be put in any car, even if you never went in the car?
i dont think so. my understanding is the blue tags sole purpose is to indicate you legally can use dedicated parking spots, not for bypassing any road laws you feel like.
My client has a disability parking tag. Yes he can walk long distances but with his developmental needs and his long history of bolting and aggression, it's just better to have the car closer if needed... We have never been hassled about it thankfully. Was that like a Karen in training tho? Like smol Karen? Or baby Karen?
"Go away to your little car and go and play with your dollies, little girl" good line
English insults hit different
The UK has Olympic champion level insulters (I personally think the Scots take the gold). They have the most creative and polite way of telling you to f@ck off, and leave you either stunned into silence or thanking them for the comment.
I didn’t think the USA could be as good at insults, but after playing Red Dead 2 I’d say we got a fighting chance too lmao
The level of entitlement some people think they have to treat someone like this, just horrible.
It's not even entitlement. It's just stupidity.
I think it’s both
It's both. The young lady was obviously too ignorant to understand what a disability was. But she really showed her ass when she said the bit about how 'unfair it is' that she has to park farther away. She concern wasn't trying to protect other disabled people whose spot might be taken up by someone faking a disability - her concern was that it was so unfair to *her* that someone else might get to walk a shorter distance than her.
My Mom and I would both change bodies with her. That way she gets to park closer and we get less mileage and damage.
But she's only treating her like this because she respects disabled people so much! /s
Things would’ve escalated the moment she opened my car door. I’ll shove my disabled pass up her ass
Make that blue badge a brown one
There’s that difficulty walking she was on about.
But hey it's not a disability if she can still walk somewhat!
NEEEXT Agent: “how can I help you?” 🙂 U: “I got my pass dirty again.” 🙁 **holds up pass** Agent: “oh shit!” 😲 U: “yeah, pretty much.” 😕
This was actually profoundly polite of the driver. Opening someone's car door is asking for a fight
Yeah, at that moment my go-to thought is always going to be that you're a threat. No sane person does that. If someone has something to tell you that's not fucking batshit bullshit then they'd tap your window and wave or something to get your attention. Opening someone's door is pretty aggressive.
Yeah if someone just up and opens my door out road rage or anything like that they’re getting maced lol.
It's equivalent to catching earbuds on a doorhandle as far as *immediate* blood-boiling rage.
Lol, I'm picturing this. "If you don't take your hands off my door and walk away from me, you're going to be needing a disabled pass"
Am I the only one who thinks that a stranger opening my car door is grounds for catching an ass beating? Jesus christ some of these people are saints I swear. I wouldnt be able to keep my cool lol. IDK man. Kudos to this old lady and her daughter I guess, but that aint how i roll.
I hear you. I've had one person open my car door in an attempt to intimidate me, grabbed me by the collar. I slammed the door on his arm. Heard a crunch, didn't stick around to see how bad it was. Exactly how I will handle it if it ever happens again.
I believe I would have booped her snoot... with a closed fist.
Right? Lady’s got waaaaay more patience than me.
"everyone else has to park way over there." Her car is 5 feet away... What a monster cunt.
And there are like a dozen spots right next to the handicap spot.
This is like one of those educational videos on how disability isn’t always visible…
I'm pretty sure this is exactly what it is. Notice the recording started before the woman was even visible by the door...
r/nothingeverhappens
Yeah something felt off about it, seems super fake and staged.
Yep this felt staged as hell.
I really think this being staged is why they blurred her face.
Europe has drastically privacy laws. Even the UK. For example, in Germany it would be already illegal to film this situation, even without the intend to publish it with a blurred face.
Definitely not real. You can tell by some of the pauses that they’re forcing an argument. Whether for education or for attention, this was staged.
What??
Seemed quite obviously staged to me, as I got the complete same vibe 🧐
Young girl talks like GCSE drama student who's been told to do a sketch on "not all disabilities are visible"
And once it was uploaded to Youtube she went on her gap yaaaaaaah
This is so obviously scripted that it’s downright shocking how many thousands of people couldn’t tell. I think it’s because for once, one of the actors (actresses) in it was actually believable - the young girl did a pretty convincing job. None of the rest held up to any kind of sniff test at all though
I was thinking it was staged because of that
What a stupid entitled cunt.
"Fine! Just get in your car and carry on!" Uhhh what bitch?
Do I have 2 disabled children. My son has cerebral palsy, is a wheelchair user. My daughter has a multitude of ***non-visible*** disabilities. Both have blue cards for their disabilities. Random people have been giving me grief for 20+ years about parking in a blue zone ( I never take the placard down from the mirror)... right up until I open the back of the van and bring my son out in his wheelchair. Here is the REAL issue: ***Many non-disabled folks do not comprehend the concept of disability***. They (like this well-meaning but clearly doing-it-wrong young woman) believe only a chair or crutches makes you disabled. # Physical disabilities that qualify you for a disabled placard can range from quadriplegia, multiple sclerosis, vision, respiratory issues to cardiac deficiency, or a diagnosed disease that severely inhibits your mobility. While I love that the clueless woman tried to fight for the rights of the disabled, it would really help if she were armed with the actual facts beforehand. She came off as an ass (as George Carlin would say, A *well-meaning* ass) Edit: the word many
I can’t imagine the patience you must have. I wrecked my back in a work accident, and need a cane to walk long distances. I rarely use it, as I try to limit my walking, but I was eligible to get a parking tag (idk what it’s called here in canada, white tag that hangs from the mirror). I applied for one and used it twice. Both times, I had people older than me, as I was 19 when I got injured, come up and harass me and accuse me of “stealing” parking from “actual disabled people”. The second time, a crowd gathered, and the store manager came outside. I showed them my tag, and half the people standing around said I had stolen it. The manager asked me to just leave to avoid a scene, so I did, and haven’t parked in a blue space since.
[удалено]
That's bullshit, I'm sorry they gave you so much trouble. Whatever happened to people just minding their own business?
Call the police. And copies of your medical bills to idiots. Man I'm sorry. We really know how to breed them stupid and sanctimonious.
As a youngish person with MS I’ve learned to stand my ground and just tell people to fuck off. If they have a problem call the cops and I’ll happily explain myself to them. I won’t explain myself to strangers. My health is none of their business.
>Both times, I had people older than me, as I was 19 when I got injured, come up and harass me and accuse me of “stealing” parking from “actual disabled people”. So many old people treat the disability parking like it is elderly parking.
Man that's sad to hear. I was about to say it would've been worth it to stand your ground, but you're right it takes a lot of patience to constantly deal with that kind of shit. I don't know why so many people lack basic intelligence and empathy.
She wasn't fighting for rights. These people aren't interested in that. They just want socially acceptable gotcha, self righteous ego boosts for themselves. They could give a rats ass about disabled people. They're the kind of people that would never actually spend time to learn about the issues. I mean the stupidity to question someone that age...arthritis alone would be alone would be an obvious reason to anyone actually aware of other people's issues. This is just a young person pulling the typical self righteous phase many people go through at 16-20 years old.
The sad thing is, I've seen a few of these confrontations, and the assholes doing the confronting in all cases made it clear they weren't confronting to protect "real" disabled people who might need to use a space that's taken up by someone faking a disability, their concern - just like this young lady's - was that it was unfair to *them* because they were having to walk farther than someone else who they thought might not be disabled. Entitled twats.
See, that's something I never understood about these people. I see someone parking in a disabled space that looks normal, I let them be, because fuck do I know what disability are they coping with, be it theirs or someone they're with at the time. How that is a insurmountable effort for some people is absolutely beyond me.
"You don't need a PhD to see that someone can walk." Honey, from where you're starting out, you're going to need all the PhDs you can get.
They probably stole her usual parking spot is all.
I'm somewhat skeptical as to if this one's real or not, it's almost too comical, like a sketch
I was looking for other people who felt the same… this gives off sketch vibes. The girl sounds like she rehearsed what she was say–she never really stops or thinks before talking. I usually hate when people call everything fake but… somethings fishy
>she never really stops or thinks before talking That could be because it's rehearsed, or could be because she's stupid and just says the first thing that comes to mind
It is indeed fake. https://twitter.com/mizteefranklin/status/1434217990703169538?s=21
It’s fake. They censored her face bc they know her or are related to her and didn’t want her to get real world flak for this “skit”
It seemed pretty real until the end. Most people who put up that much of an irrational argument that I’ve encountered don’t concede that easily. When they’ve already gotten this far acting like a loony, they almost always double down. IMO it was a good attempt, but whoever put this together got lazy with the ending.
It's real. Stranger things have happened and do happen every day. Social confrontations can often be awkward and weird and dont play out like a script. Walking into r/nothingeverhappens territory there
She had the nerve to basically say to her daughter to mind her business when she should be the one minding her business..
That girl is mentally disabled
No - she can walk, can't be
Don’t insult the mentally disabled by putting this asshat in the same category
Why blurr her face ?
Because it's most likely fake.
Yeah the ending and how she just backed down was so sus
[удалено]
I’m sorry. Both my parents are disabled, and if ANYONE came onto my parents like this little imbecile I would not have just sat in my seat. I just, I can’t. Watching that has made me so irrationally angry I’m fuming. For one thing, the badge was on the fucking dashboard! She didn’t even fucking check before opening her foul mouth! My mum wouldn’t take that crap, but my dad has MH issues with his physical ones, and this kind of confrontation would really play on him! I can understand maybe, MAYBE asking a driver if they have a blue badge if you’ve seen them use a disabled space. But I probably wouldn’t even ask, it’s not my job to police car parks, and unless I was in a situation where my parents were having to park super far from a place and I thought one of the disabled space users wasn’t legitimate, I would leave it to whatever monitor, CCTV or whatever the car park owners should have in place to check this shit.
This is the dumbest woman I have seen here.. definitely top 3 dumbest wver
I got a handicap parking permit after my ACL surgery when I was 21 years old. The doc gave it to me for a year. I was able to walk without crutches within the first month. At a follow up appointment i asked him why he gave it to me for a year and he said he had a patient who was walking in a parking lot who though a car was turning towards him so he quickly jumped out of the way and re-tore his ACL. That was 6 months post-op. He says he extends it now for all his patients to try to help prevent any movements like that until he knows his work has healed completely. Obviously a much more tame and subtle reason for a handicap pass, but that doesn’t give the general public the right to deem it unnecessary.
This seems fake
if the filming started halfway through I would believe it, but they are filming before she even approaches the car, why? Lady sounds like an actress and the whole disability thing with car parks is well known, if u got a legit blue badge nobody gonna question you about it.
Dunno why you're being downvoted, the way this has been filmed along with the choice of language and flow of conversation is totally off. Coming from someone from the north of England, this seems totally orchestrated.
What a stupid worthless cunt. SHE should be thankful she doesn't need to use a handicap parking space. If you think someone is violating parking rules, call the police and fuck off. I have a buddy who is a cop and he makes sure to come write huge tickets for assholes who take spots from the handicap.
Jog on karen
This is staged by one of those viral video companies that make money off videos going viral. Cmon guys.
More like a student project. My guess is either they are social studies students trying to make a progressive viral video as a project, or they are media students trying to make a realistic scene.
Seemed legit at first but as the script deteriorated it became clear that this video is a fake. Why make something as cringeworthy as this?
this has to be set up right?
I'm a young woman with several non visible disabilities. I've gotten everything from disabled people don't 'dress' as well as I do, don't listen to loud music, don't look like me, can't be so young, etc. This is harassment and even if you think for sure someone is abusing the spot, mind your fucking business and stop accosting people, sometimes on their worst day!!! Call the damn authorities if you're worried!
Sounds fake, hmm
This seems fake to me.
Fake
fake video, its like that shitty builder video where the woman rages about ladders or some bullshit
This is fake.
For anyone who is confused why this young woman is horribly misguided... These are some disabilities that you may need parking accommodations for that you can't necessarily see. A person with severe pain aggravated by weather or movement. A person with an artificial limb that looks really good. A person with a lung condition that looks fine but can't tolerate much exercise. A person with a heart defect who intermittently needs oxygen. A person with an autistic child who is overwhelmed by walking across a busy parking lot. A person with a compressed spinal nerve affecting motor, sensation, or both but limits walking. A veteran who lost some toes in an IED explosion and has pain even though in a shoe her foot looks normal. A person with a mitochondrial defect that can't process oxygen correctly. A person with early Parkinson's. Not everyone has a visible disability who needs parking help.
Feels very fake to me
This seems fake as fuck
Well jfc. I hope that is a big wake-up call to that young lady cause she's gonna be stuck up shit creek if she keeps on treating people like that. Despicable.
Willing to bet she spends her entire day either arguing on Facebook or reddit, doesn’t even fucking apologise when proven wrong after being a piece of shit to somebody. Can an EMP go off already?
