It’s amazing that in this day and age, some people still don’t realize (or care) about being courteous to people who need to park in disabled spots and used ramps and things like that.
You’d think that by now it would be common knowledge that this is the way the world works, but some folks are gonna do what’s best for them and only them.
Today’s story revolves around a person who clearly doesn’t have a whole lot of respect for the rules…or for other people!
Take a look at what happened.
Blocking the handicapped ramp.
“At a Shoppers drug mart there is a handicapped parking space, then a ramp to the sidewalk, then another handicap parking space.
I was parked in the first handicap parking space and was leaving the store.
I notice a woman pull into the parking lot and proceeds to back up in the ramp space, which is clearly marked with yellow lines. It is obvious that there is no parking where the ramp is.
Not okay!
The other handicap parking space directly beside the ramp was open, along with several others. But for some reason she decided that she was entitled to park in the ramp space.
So now her car is backed up almost cover the entire ramp. Just a small space at an awkward sharp angle is left to get down/up the ramp from the side of it.
The driver and her passenger get out just as I am struggling to get down the blocked ramp. (I am on oxygen and use a rollator/walker to carry the concentrator).
Her passenger had one of those walkers with just two wheels on the front and straight legs at the back. I had made it to my car when I heard her passenger tell her that she is in the wrong space.
Well, at least somebody noticed…
Apparently the driver thought she was entitled to park there for some reason and mumbled something to her passenger that I didn’t hear. Even her passenger struggled using the ramp, but the driver didn’t bother to move her car to the proper space or even help her passenger.
She just grabbed a shopping cart that was on the sidewalk, put her purse in it and waited for her passenger to struggle up the ramp.
How rude!
There would have been no way for a wheelchair user to access the ramp. I just couldn’t believe how inconsiderate this woman was, and she was driving around someone who was clearly handicapped!
I guess I should have said something, anything.
If I had been going into the store I might have mentioned it to a cashier or someone who worked there.
But with my health condition, I just didn’t have the energy to go back inside and was uncomfortable about confronting someone, let alone enforce parking rules.”

How rude!
The cops needs to smack this person with a major fine so it doesn’t happen again.
Fingers crossed!
Some people simply have no consideration for others…
