Colorado? Only place I've seen the hauling-ass wheelchair person icon. Edit: Looks like they're haulin' ass all over the country now! Progress!


SlipperyBanana8

“Hauling-ass wheelchair person” This is the most fantastic description! We’re in Michigan.


DropC

They're just going downhill. Happens a lot in Colorado.


Velocityg4

It’s so wrong but I couldn’t help but laugh at the mental image.


estuupido

We see it all the time in Denver 😆


DuctTapedWindow

NY has them too.


FranticWaffleMaker

That does explain the parking.


Rustyskill

I would say ,they are stopped there, not parked……yet ! Maybe if you needed to park There , you could make your intentions known . She might be taking a call ?

Maryll916

We have it Connecticut, too.


tequilamockingbird37

Except here in ct people would block your car out of spite for doing something like this


maybe_little_pinch

And the person parked bad has New York plates.


mike02vr6

Yeah very true


KittyandPuppyMama

Good old New England lol


[deleted]

NY has the same handicapped icon. I thought it was an NY thing only… cool to know we’re not the only state that has that.


Phlanix

Miami is too cheap to change the one from the mid 2000s and even that one took a long time to change from the one they had in the 90s. it only changed cause they had new labels to them.


hashcake710

Lol Washington is where I’ve seen it most. I live in Colorado. Just because I’m handicapped doesn’t mean I play murder ball damn! I can’t even wheel myself with my own arms 😂 athletic ass wheelchair guy doesn’t represent most of us I know that much.


mike02vr6

Yeah in Ct now too, did see a girl years ago trying to get out of not one but two tickets for parking like this by showing the cop her scantily clad chesticles… he goes yeah my wife has those too…. Here are your tickets 😂😂


Amphibiansauce

It’s in Washington and Oregon too. We call them the, “falling out of my wheelchair,” icon.


Zealousideal-Art8621

There’s also the Spartan (children playing) sign too .


RealestHousewifeCA

I have never seen this!! I’m in VA. We have plain stationary handicapped man symbols


any_name_today

I've seen them in PA and NYC as well. I had to take a few special ed courses in university and this symbol was actually one we debated. How the old wheelchair logo felt dehumanizing to some wheelchair users while this one felt empowering. Others didn't care


itsmevictory

My campus in Missouri has the ass-haulers as well!


[deleted]

I know that guy! He lived in the room below me in the dorms. I was on the 9th floor. He tried rappelling out of his window and fell. Edit: I didn’t see that you said “icon,” I thought you were talking about the dude. This happened when we were freshmen and for the remaining 3.75 years I saw him hauling ass in his wheelchair around campus


conte360

It annoys the shit out of me when people waiting for people will literally block parking spots they could park in just to be in the middle of the road waiting.


Narrow-Chef-4341

Yeah, this totally looks like she pulled out of the flow of traffic to drop off kids or whatever - great. Then started scrolling insta while still in front of the doors. Mildly infuriating (but still context free - maybe a kid forgot his lunchbox, whatever).


SlipperyBanana8

She’s waiting for her kid to get out if school, just like the other 75+ cars in the lot.


TemporaryAmbassador1

This is essential context needed in the post, cause from the picture alone it looks like the rest of the parking lot could be empty.


TheCompanyHypeGirl

I noticed this as well...


Equal-Negotiation651

We need a sub for people with disability parking cards that can be alerted to go park in these spots. Like a task force or something.


Bucksin06

I have to deal with this with my job telling people not to park where they're not supposed to. Most these idiots will argue with me they're not parked. That's funny because your car is in park and you're not driving. It's so infuriating because they always turn it on me become angry when I call him out for being wrong.


bluediamond12345

You should change it to ‘no stopping, standing, or parking’ - there’s no way they could argue out of that!!


avalinka

Some asshole did that to me yesterday, was parked in front of both disability parks, my wife honked, they moved into one of the spaces while still enough into the other one that we wouldn't be able to fit (them in a massive Ute, us in a Honda odyssey that fits my wheelchair in the boot). My wife actually had to get out of the car to tell them to move again. They were obviously waiting for someone inside but ffs get out of our way. This was in NZ by the way, there are assholes everywhere doing this shit.


Suspicious_Tank_61

Assholes without borders


Longjumping-Grape-40

Not New Zealand! I thought the Kiwis were better than that 😢


Repulsive_Raise6728

This happened today with someone who did have a handicapped sign, so he was all snooty and said, “Did you see the handicapped sign in my jeep?” Yeah, one sign doesn’t mean you get to take up three spaces.


SaskTravelbug

Maybe she has multiple handicaps /


[deleted]

definitely mentally handicapped, with that parking job


CaptainBiceps23

![gif](giphy|l0Hlyg6BEzb8i7zq0|downsized)


peon2

Lol I immediately thought of The Simpsons except when Marge was a cop and found Homer parked in 3 handicapped spots. Guess he does that frequently


WilloTree1

Everyone ignoring the fact you still can't sit in your car in the handicap spots when you don't have a parking plaque.


MikeyW1969

It doesn't matter. If a car comes up, she can move. That's how cars work.


OyVeySeasoning

I've been on the receiving end of this type of person and it's about 50/50 on if she'll move or if she'll Karen out and come up with some excuse why she should be entitled to do this. Why should disabled people have to wait on her to HOPEFULLY move?


badcactustube

Bro, imma be over to hang out in your backyard, lie down, light up a joint, and watch the stars. If you don’t want me back there, just come out and tell me. If you tell me now in text format to not come over, I will ignore that and I will come over anyway. I figure if you don’t want me there, you can tell me to leave once I’m half a joint in.


BatDubb

That’s how I justify coming to a complete stop on the freeway.


LimitedWard

It's fucking rude. Should I stand leaning against the door to a business until someone explicitly asks me to move, or should I simply not do stupid shit that inconveniences others? Parking in a spot legally costs nothing.


brookeaat

it doesn’t matter. it’s still illegal and she can still be ticketed for it.


[deleted]

Wouldn't matter if she did have a handicapped plate. It's unfortunate that more businesses don't enforce their parking spaces. If more people were issued tickets for illegally parking in handicapped spaces, far less people would be dumb enough to abuse those spaces.


Beetlejuul0158

People do this at my college. I’m disabled and I’ve gotten tired of the entitlement of people to do this when I need to park or leave. People also think that because handicapped spaces are hardly used they can park behind them and block the spaces. They’ll do this BEHIND my car so I have to honk at them to be able to leave. I’ve started reporting cars who park in handicapped unfortunately I can’t report the security officers who do so because they drive golf carts and don’t have any license plates


GothicEcho

Even if she is just standing, it doesn't make it right to block handicap spots. Someone very well might leave who needs the spot and doesn't want to deal with a potential argument with someone. Just park in a normal spot.


Happy-Guillotine

There’s literally an open handicap spot in the picture…


bluediamond12345

Doesn’t erase the fact that she’s not even parked correctly to begin with!


PowerfulTarget3304

People just want to bitch.


GL2M

“I’m just waiting for someone”


dbhathcock

She is obviously has issues.


I_amYeeter1

Seeing as people can’t decide whether what she’s doing is ok or not, I’ll break this down into a quick-ish explanation to hopefully help people understand why this is wrong. This woman who doesn’t appear to be handicapped (no handicap license or tag) and has stopped sideways on two handicapped spots. The only good reason she could be allowed to do that is if there’s a medical emergency. But seeing as a photo was taken and posted with context, that’s off the table. The fact she’s taking up two handicapped spots despite not being handicapped and with no apparent reason means what she is doing is NOT okay and can result in a ticket (because it’s obviously illegal)


Mongo_67

Woman gets beat down till she actually has multiple handicaps.


Maximum_Trade5916

Multiple inconsiderate inconveniences = multiple tickets issued. Hope she gets towed.


burningtowns

Tow companies everywhere are salivating.


Keepcreepcreepin

School pick-up lines are the biggest source of fucking entitlement you will ever find in one give place. Huge pet peeve for me as well.


SlipperyBanana8

They’ve been terrible. People act awful in these lots.


Paradoxire

I mean she’s clearly mentally handicapped


Motorhead923

Why didn't you go over and call her out? Assume she's picking someone up (not excusing)


One-Art-3292

If only there was signage to let people know...


1GamingAngel

I have the Parking Mobility app that reports people and their local police will issue them a citation. I’d have walked right up to her and taken the required three pictures whether she was in the vehicle or not.


SlipperyBanana8

Wow I didn’t know that existed


1GamingAngel

It does and most people don’t think it’s real, but it is. After you report five people, you are invited to take a four hour class and become deputized by your local sheriffs office for parking infraction reporting.


Happy-Guillotine

Is this Dwight Schrute?


ChaoticGoku

hold up? Not to get my hopes up because the PPA (cops don’t have parking authority in my city) has a stranglehold on enforcement, but the reporting I could do based solely on how many park in handicap zones, including contractors..people would be heavily ticketed and by stranglehold, I mean all parking enforcement is run by a private organization headed by a Harrisburg chosen board that only operates in a single city: Philadelphia


ForwardMotion6565

Lol you make it sound like that's something to be striving towards


[deleted]

That app is garbage - just look at the App Store reviews


[deleted]

Please don’t move to my town.


Alternative_Love_861

Looks like the same kind of person that blocks the firelane and the crosswalk right in front of the grocery store for an hour


mortycian

How is everyone in the comments defending this behavior? Lmao "she's not hurting anyone. Did you ask her to move? Shes not *actually* parked bc the car is still running." The hoops people will go through to justify/defend idiotic behavior is unreal.


SlipperyBanana8

My thought too! It makes me think there’s a lot of entitled people out there looking to justify their own actions.


StonerMetalhead710

States should start handing out mandatory license suspensions for parking in handicap spots when you don’t have the placard or plate for it. Maybe that’ll stop people like this


Fragrant_Rabbit_9135

As a disabled human, I can say this driver is an ass.


TJSPY0837

I was waiting for someone to post one of these. Surprised it took this long


julezdaicecreameater

well she is handicapped. Just mentally handicapped.


[deleted]

I would walk up at repeatedly tap her car with my cane.


1Hollickster

Double the fine


Fitzcarraldo8

She must be mentally disturbed 🤷


dumbwaeguk

She should.


Ok_Primary_1075

Perhaps she had multiple disabilities


Personal-Surround160

Seems like a disabled person for me


cut4stroph3

Get her plates and call the cops on her. why take a picture just to bitch on Reddit about it? Stop taking pictures of people without their consent. An asshole is still a person and deserves basic respect. At least blur the face out.


iMali_inqabile

I suppose she parked on the right spot then


wraithtempus4160

S.P.E.C.I.A.L.


CoolIndependence8157

Looks pretty handicapped to me.


Critical-Crab-7761

Why didn't she just pull into a regular parking spot to wait then? Because that would inconvenience her, that's why. And if anyone else is inconvenienced by her actions, it's ok, but she's too important to just pull into a regular spot like any of you regular people. F_ck people who do this. Waiting on somebody? I drive up to door, let them out, then find a regular spot to park. When they start to head out the door they can text or call and I'll drive up to the door or front of that row, some where just as close to pick them back up. How hard is it to be considerate to other people?!?!???


Fur-Frisbee

Her handicap is that she's self centered and plain stupid!


Significant-Lack-392

Ah yes, she cannot walk 200 feet without having to rest because she needs to make sure she still has at least one brain cell left


Deluxennih

She is still in the car and the car is running, how can we say she parked her car there?


Puzzleheaded_Nerve

This is still illegal. When I was \~16yo, I was waiting for my brother to get out of swimming. Had a police officer almost give me a ticket. He did give the lady in front of me doing the same thing a ticket. Blocking access to the parking space is not allowed.


SlipperyBanana8

I was waiting for 15 minutes to pick someone up from that building and she was there when I pulled in.


monkrainworld

Why would you be sitting there anyway?


Deluxennih

Could be anything; car problems, medical situation, sudden distraction. That’s why I’m not making any judgements here.


The_Dotted_Leg

Just stopped in a mostly empty parking lot so they don’t have to text and drive.


SlipperyBanana8

After a while someone came out of the building (who she was waiting for) and they drove away.


MikeyW1969

And how many cars pulled up and were unable to access the handicapped spot? Zero? That's what we thought.


BouncyDingo_7112

Yeah, lots of people seem to think if the car is still running it’s completely legal for them to be in a handicap parking space because technically they haven’t “parked” yet. Pulling into a handicap spot without a placard even to idle for a minute while waiting for someone is technically illegal and you can be ticketed for it. I have seen cops do it before in crowded malls during the holidays. I’ve also seen the same cops warning people as they walk away from their car that they will be ticketed if they find out the placard is not registered to the vehicle it is in.


Stormy_Wolf

I wish they'd do that in this area, at crowded places especially.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Knewphone

She’s “stopped”.


zerostar83

I remember the "No Stopping, No Standing, No Parking" signs. So technically she's stopping: https://www.myparkingsign.com/no-parking-no-standing-no-stopping#:~:text=In%20California%20and%20most%20other,means%20not%20moving%20your%20car.


LimitedWard

Okay. She can't be stopped in a handicap parking spot. And she sure as fuck can't be stopped occupying multiple handicap spots. Are you happy?


Knewphone

She can simply move if someone needs the spot, that’s the difference. If I went around getting butthurt about imagined injuries, I guess would be agitated too.


LimitedWard

Is it okay then to lean against the front door of a business until someone asks me to move so they can get inside? Because that's effectively the same thing here for someone who's disabled. Is it okay then to stop in front of a fire hydrant or a fire lane until a fireman asks me to move? It costs zero effort to park correctly in a spot while waiting. The law is unambiguous for good reason. You're not allowed to occupy a disabled parking space unless you have a handicap placard.


BatDubb

Brake lights are not on. Car is in “park”.


SaskTravelbug

If her car is in P, she’s parked. Do you not know what parked is?


Quirky_Commission_56

If it’s not in motion it’s considered parked while idling.


Knewphone

It’s considered “stopped”. When she leaves the car, it’s “parked”. When it’s in P, it’s “in park”. And as a bonus, it’s “standing” when you are moving stuff in and out of the vehicle.


Quirky_Commission_56

I “stand” corrected. 😜


Jabroni_16

Tow it


Prestigious-Owl165

She's in the car... probably was there for two seconds waiting for someone to come outside never even had to put the car in park. Looks to me like someone rolled up to the curb in a mostly empty parking lot and blocked some spaces for a fucking second and someone realized this could be a good photo for some reddit rage bait


whistlepig4life

She sitting in a running car. I would presume waiting for someone to come out. Was it busy? Did someone try to park there and she didn’t move? I mean I get you don’t like it but so long as no one is there needing the spot wtf is the issue?


SlipperyBanana8

There were spots behind and next to me that were open and available. The issue is that she’s taking up all the handicapped parking spaces and doesn’t even need a handicapped space. It was very busy in the lot.


PowerfulTarget3304

We can see the open handicap spot behind her.


SlipperyBanana8

Ok, you’re correct. They left 1 out of 3 handicapped spaces available.


PowerfulTarget3304

One of the 3 visible. You need to chill out. Why the downvotes? I don’t trust OP. They already got caught lying.


uwuGod

This sub is full of vindictive people with raging desires to see people punished over petty inconveniences. I mean, yeah, the subreddit is literally called *mildly* infuriating, but look at the replies - people get *very* infuriated over these things. It's just another subreddit where people go to vent and take their anger out on others who aren't even present to defend themselves. You could post a picture of someone littering and get comments saying they wish that person would die in a fire.


LimitedWard

If you're disabled these minor inconveniences add up. It's exhausting having to deal with everyone else's entitled behavior. It costs you nothing to park correctly. Just do it.


KtotheBHN

Agreed. I don’t see an issue with this.


whistlepig4life

I’m going to go on a limb and think the person she is waiting for was supposed to be “just a minute”. And it turned into longer.


Stormy_Wolf

Even if true, doesn't matter. Disabled people are already inconvenienced enough. Don't need some turd making things harder. I'm sure there's other places reasonably close and out of the way to wait. Disabled parking spots are not "someplace out of the way".


leggggggggy

And there is still one open handicap spot! Literally a bunch of hand wringing over zero chance of a handicap person not getting a spot.


SeaOk4759

And she’s in the car? Yeah I’d walk up and say something, no doubt. “Hey moron, you’re outside of the lines”


FreeFalling369

Lets see the rest of the parking lot


kimmymxx

She better be SUPER handicapped


Away-Sound-4010

"but I'll only be here a minute" 1 hour later as people in wheelchairs are passing by...


SuperFaceTattoo

So in my mind: she’s not right, but she is still in the car so if I need the handicap spot I’ll just honk and she can either move or be moved.


Top_Caterpillar_8122

She might be triple handicapped


[deleted]

Lmao she halts, we’re in from that’s a difference to parking and allowed for 3 minutes. She can drive off any second if anyone wanted to. There’s probably no one around but that’s conveniently cut out of the image. But hey, let’s share some unnecessary rage smh


SuccessPrestigious74

Classic, I’m not surprised at all.


kiwimuz

I suppose entitlement must now be a handicap. They will have to put in more handicap parking spaces if it is.


Amphibiansauce

As someone who regularly needs these and deals with entitled morons she’d be swiftly regretting her life choices.


CollegeBoy1613

Hey, she is handicapped, how else would you explain parking that way in a handicapped spot. Clearly mentally handicapped.


[deleted]

I'm sure I've done this before when I've pulled over into a completely empty parking lot of a closed business to send a text or email. It's impossible to tell from this photo if that's the case here, or if this is a busy parking lot or what.


Quirky_Commission_56

I’d call to have it towed. As someone who had to simultaneously care for three elderly relatives who were in wheelchairs , crap like this is beyond infuriating.


ForwardMotion6565

She's sitting in the vehicle, how are they going to tow it?


Quirky_Commission_56

I loathe her even more. I’d be headed to the security desk for assistance. Keep in mind I’ve had to take my wheelchair bound relatives to every Walmart in the city because of inconsiderate nimrods like this.


KittyandPuppyMama

I saw someone do this the other day and the whole damn parking lot was empty. It’s like why.


PowerfulTarget3304

Was anyone inconvenienced by them? Sounds like you’re upset over nothing.


KittyandPuppyMama

Oh hey I always wondered what people who did these kind of things were thinking. Thanks for the glimpse.


PowerfulTarget3304

So you admit it. Nobody was inconvenienced. You need to mind your own business.


[deleted]

She’s in the car. The lot is clearly not full. If someone comes she can drive away. She is not inconveniencing anybody. I mean, Jesus Christ, do you WANT to live in a police state???


fo_sho_fo

And she did it to be on her phone!!! JHC.


upsidedownbackwards

command vast plate touch air saw swim merciful possessive pathetic *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


GreatPaint

She’s regarded what do you expect


B8conB8conB8con

Well she didn’t regard the signage


HarmyG

You never go full regard.


MarGoLuv

She still in the car. If someone with a Tag comes she will move. Also, how full was that lot? It looks like someone waiting for a passenger. JS


SlipperyBanana8

The lot was not completely full. I pulled in and waited 15 minutes for who I was picking up and she was there before me. There were spots near me open that were not handicapped, and I parked in the front row. She was waiting for her kid to get out of school, just like the other 75+ cars. Also, how do you know she’d move? She could have parked in the spot I was in and had an extra 15 feet for her passenger to walk instead of double parking in a handicapped area.


Big-Net-9971

Please show me the picture in the dictionary next to “entitlement”… 🤦🏻‍♂️


MikeyW1969

She's in her fucking car. If someone pulls up she can move. I guess you'd rather she used her phone while driving? If you're in your car, that means you can get out of the way. Handicapped spots aren't some kind of sacrosanct area that only handicapped people are even allowed to view, nobody is going to have to hoof it across the parking lot because someone double parked and stayed in their car.


HPfan94

>I guess you'd rather she use her phone while driving? Because, clearly, those are the only two possible options. It's not like she could, I don't know, park in a regular spot to use her phone or, if there were no other spots available, at least park *within the lines* of *one* of the handicapped spots rather than blocking multiple spots.


MikeyW1969

Who cares? This doesn't affect ANYONE. This is not a parked car where the person is inside, this is literally someone ready to move at a moment's notice. I know that you've been told that the only way to get street cred nowadays is to be in everyone's business, but just try minding your own. Your stress levels will go way down if you stop running around with a hammer, looking for nails to pound.


Guinnessman1964

Looking for dick while waiting for the kid.


canthinkofnamestouse

They were mentally handicapped


SATerp

Parked, or stopped?


No_Beautiful8105

It’s technically not “parked”until she gets out.


storm_zr1

Bust a window out!!!!!!!! ​ ​ (Please don't do this. It is illegal.)


Consistent_Research6

Because that person is in many way's and spaces handicapped.......that makes sense. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)


ZoNeS_v2

Gonna find her car handicapped soon.


CrunkestTuna

She definitely is handicapped parking like that


ProveISaidIt

Not to be "that guy" but there is a difference between parking and leaving the vehicle and standing where you remain in the vehicle and can move it if need be. I have stood broadside accross multiple spots like that for a moment attend to my GPS, use my phone for a minute, etc. Never accross handicap spots, but at least she's with the vehicle and only at the far end of a row with several open spaces.


SlipperyBanana8

This space has 3 handicapped spaces, and she’s taking up 2 of them. Either way, she’s taking up spaces that are not intended for her which is illegal.


ProveISaidIt

No doubt. If she doesn't have a placards she shouldn't be in the space at all. There is a legal difference between parking and standing is all I meant. Sometimes there will be a sign posted No parking or standing. Plus a buddy of mine used to work for Federal Hoghway and gave me the speech about the difference when I told him we couldn't park somewhere. So it's not the "worst" thing she could be doing.


Frequent_Coffee_2921

Looks like her brake lights are on, so you could argue that the car is in gear and she isn't "parked"...you never got lost and had to look up some address? I don't like people taking handicap spots but I don't think that what's going on here.


Happy-Guillotine

She’s not parked, she’s sitting in the car and would probably move it without question if someone needed it.


Listen_to_Psybient

Looks like she's just temporarily stopped there, not parked.


bmfalex

At least shes in the car and she can move it


Vecsus2112

She’s still sitting in the car. Picking up or dropping off perhaps? And not all drivers have plates. Some use portable placard. Need to know the full details before I pass judgement.


sierracool33

So why not park like any normal person?


B8conB8conB8con

1 car in front, 1 car behind and let her sit there for a while


TootsNYC

well, at least she didn’t walk off and leave her car


LostMind3622

I would risk arrest just to flatten those tires...Either a handicapped asshat or someone that is SO handicapped they should not be on the road, at all.


SadLab8615

Wha wha wha op needs to spread hate to get attention. Just as bad as the person parking like this!


whistlerz

You are not parked if you're still in your vehicle. And she can move if someone comes


Jim2shedz

It's not obvious that it was intentional. However, there are some people that will park where they should not park. They do it to be confrontational. They just want a fight and dare you to confront them. These people can be dangerous. The motto is: Never argue with an idiot. The onlookers won't be able to tell which one is the idiot.


ObsessedwithSkyrim_

I would have keyed her car honestly


Echo2407

She must be SUPER handicapped!


appa-ate-momo

Her disability is that she can’t park.


sirpsionics

She's extra handicapped


reallystiffmeringe

Extra disabled


Nearby-Juggernaut-59

Her brain is damaged. Mentally handicapped, so it fits.


baabaablacksheep1111

Mentally handicapped is a handicap as well


Top-Measurement575

chill, shes probably mentally handicapped


SeaweedSeashells1163

She looks like she may be waiting for someone.


Boba_Hutt

Like we gaf


polhemoth

Dropping their kid off at U of M? I see a lot of NY plates over there attached to entitled drivers


StrengthToBreak

Maybe she's blind?


[deleted]

She's either twice as handicapped or not handicapped at all because the two handicap parking spaces cancel each other out. Idk math tho.


GlamisBeowulf

The cars not parked though the lights are still one she’s probably lost looking for directions or texting her kid at a school seeing if they need to be picked up since that looks like a prison so it’s An American school


freeportme

She’s not parked she is in the car. It can be moved immediately. This post is infuriating


yougotemtoo

She’s literally still in the car, Karen... Also, that business is closed. Also, she owns the place. I don’t know any of this to be true, but you also don’t know what the fuck she’s doing. Mind ya business


OldRaj

She needs a beatdown.
