She Uses a Wheelchair to Pick Up Her Child—But Drivers Without Placards Keep Taking Her Parking Spot

It blows my mind that in this day and age, people with handicapped parking passes are still having to deal with complete jerks who give them a hard time about it.
What year is it, again…?
It’s ridiculous!
And the woman who wrote this story knows all about it.
She sounded off about how she keeps having issues with other drivers when she picks up her kid from school.
Check out what she’s dealing with…
AITA for making a fuss over accessible parking abuses?
“Recently some parents at a local high school pick up zone have noticed that I use the accessible parking to pick up a family member from school.
I always display my placard as I am in a wheelchair and have every legal right to park there.
How does this make any sense…?
However a bunch of parents that have been frustrated with the unending flow of traffic have decided since I can legally park there they are entitled to park there illegally out of convenience.
The first week or so I just observed the people abusing these spots. Looking for any sign that they had a right to park there.
But none…
By the second week I was growing increasingly frustrated and tried to ask the staff monitoring to enforce this however this morning at drop off found that very staff member abusing the spot herself. The same people keep doing it.
She’s had enough of this.
I have started to film them call them out locally on social media and now have taken it to the city. I have asked them if they have a permit they admit they do not and will not move.
One person said that all the accessible spots were open so I shouldn’t be complaining when I have a spot but to me if you’re willing to pick up your child in an accessible zone you are teaching your children to take from us in everyday situations when we rely on these spots to have our basic needs met.
This is nuts!
AITA for fighting my community on this or do you think whole heartedly that I have every right to stand against abuses of accessible parking?
I might be a jerk because people don’t want their kids to walk an extra 50 feet to a legal spot but something tells me I’m RIGHT.
AITA?”
