Being fat and ugly doesn't count as being disabled

IMO there should be reserved parking allocated for wheelchair uses only not just for anyone who's managed to pick up a blue badge because of a stubbed toe.

Just out of interest is everyone who claims benefit a lazy scrounger who should get of their fat, lazy arses and get a ****ing job?
 
That's not really the point though is it. Some people who are housebound look forward to their weekly, fortnightly shop, just to get out the house and change their surroundings. It may be shopping to you, but it's something else to them!

Fine, concede.

I think a park would better though.
 
I find the whole disabled parking completely ridiculous for the vast majority that are quite happy to shuffle round the shop for an hour or two but apparently need to be those extra few meters closer to the store. Give me a break.

I find it amazing that someone had the nerve to sit there in a supermarket carpark wiriting that note and then going over to stick it on the car. Those are the worst kinds of people.
 
You should see our local Morrisons just after it opens, it's like "Geriatric Day of the Dead".

Pretty much any supermarket is like this. Local Sainsbury opens at 7am (or maybe 8? I forget) but at opening time, there is usually a queue of coffinchasers all lined up with their trolley.
 
Good point raised by somebody..

You have to be some extra special kind of **** to write a note like that and have absolutely no idea why that person is parking in that kind of spot in the first place.

Clearly a woman's writing, i wonder why she has a bee in her bonnet ?
Why do some people get so overly concerned in affairs that they literally have no understanding or comprehension of :P ? Whats wrong with a good "tut" and getting on with your own boring life !
 
I know someone (wouldn't call him a friend, as he's a bit of a ****) that parks in disabled bays all the time.

Nothing wrong with him physically and never has any issues.

Most he gets is looks from other people. I'll admit that when I saw him do the old "fake limp thing" in front of someone I couldn't hold in a chuckle :)

Anyway, yeah, he's says he's got a friend that's a cop that told him there's nothing legally wrong with parking in a "disabled" bay and in Scotland they can't clamp/fine you either.
 
What are the chances you can get a badge for Autism nowadays?
My nephew has autism, and yes my sister has a blue badge for him because he is registered disabled.
He does have hypertonia and low muscle tone too, so he can't exactly walk very far.
But I'm sure he has it for autism.
 
My Friend has fibro, 3 slipped discs and in chronic pain so if i take her shopping we use a disabled bay. She is not entitled to a badge as she would lose a lot of her mobility payment... and apparently she is not "disabled enough" whatever that means.

Anyone who gives me a stare gets a mouthful. You do not have to display a badge to use a bay in a private car park.... only on street parking where disability badges are valid.

If you are disabled or need extra space ( such as my dad who has had a knee op and cannot get in or out of the car without the door fully open ) then use a disabled bay in the supermarket. If anyone kicks off then complain to the store manager.

This story is typical of the selfish kind of people who will say nothing but leave notes.... got something to say? Do it in person or put a sock in it.

Oh and on the subject of badges, its is a lot harder to get one now. My 78 year old dad was refused one even though he has just had his second knee surgery and cannot bend his leg enough to get out of the car unless the door is wide open. He walks with a stick but because he can walk 50 yards without aid he was refused. They do not hand them out like candy anymore, and i think some people in here are still under the illusion that its straightforward to get one.

You have to be so disabled as to not be able to walk/crawl/roll 50 yards by yourself before you are considered.

Why do supermarkets have so many damn disabled bays in the first place. They are hardly used and they would be better off having more parent and child spaces

Well when I take a one of my disabled relatives out I always have problems finding a spot. But I guess you'd know better than me because you are a social worker ...
