Disabled parking spots are often a little bit bigger than an average parking spot. Imagine a car parked so poorly that it’s over the line in a disabled parked spot, blocking two disabled parking spots.

If you were disabled and needed to park in that parking spot that was blocked by the other car, what would you do?

Would you squeeze into the spot anyway, talk to the driver, or wait until another spot opens up?

In today’s story, one driver tries the first two options, and the situation escalates pretty quickly.

Let’s read all about it.

AITA for refusing to move my car (properly parked within the lines) to allow someone who blocked two disabled spaces to leave.

AITA for refusing to move my car after properly parking two inches away from someone who parked in two spaces.

I’m a 37yo guy with peripheral neuropathy on my feet (nerve damage) so it makes it difficult for me to walk long distances without tripping.

I just pull up to the parking lot of my doctor’s office and there were no spaces available.

He is able to park in disabled spots.

I saw that there was a person who took up two disabled spaces but there was enough space for me to squeeze in and be within the lines.

I have a disabled placard for my neuropathy so I’m able to take the spot.

I park literally an inch or two away from the car and I notice that there was a guy inside (the passenger side).

I step out to ask if he could please move his car so that it isn’t in both spots.

The guy was pretty rude about it.

He flips me off and calls me an idiot.

Little ticked at this point and I decided that I’m staying in the spot in principle.

The guys wife comes back and I told her that her husband was rude and she can hop in at the passenger side if she wants to get in.

Now the police are involved.

They call 911, police show up, the sergeant threatened me with arrest for “illegally detaining” them.

I asked if they at least get a citation but unfortunately the cop decided he wasn’t gonna do his job (“I’m not the parking police”).

I end up moving my car, police guy tells me I’m a jerk for not moving and I need an attitude adjustment.

The couple drive off smiling with no care in the world.

Thoughts? Comments?

Calling 911 was a little bit of an overreaction.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

It’s all about who calls 911 first.

This person thinks the police officer messed up.

This is an interesting idea!

Here’s how this person would’ve played it.

The police aren’t always on your side.
