A lesson learnt for an angry old lady

Translated in the real world:
What's more important:
1. The OP being a drama queen and panicking about a bit of poo which will harm no one.
2. Letting the disabled park in their disabled space.
Then being slightly admonished straight off the bat, OP is in the wrong - respect is earned.
The wetwipes on the windscreen were completely unnecessary and the OP sounds like a selfish, entitled manchild.
We're not sure just how disabled the old lady is. She could have been pretending to be an old lady, or may not even exist.What's more important:

But are you going to answer the question?
No, as it's disrespectful. I cannot believe you're asking me whether blue badge holders (who won't display their badges/enquire about the space) can be identified by the way they look. I think that's a new low for the thread. The D in your username might as well be Dachau. Seriously?No, you said that if a blue badge holder was waiting for the space then you would move.
My question to you was how would you know that someone was waiting for a space, as most wont approach you and will just drive off and look elsewhere.
And now you have come out with the above as an answer!
You dont know the answer to the question, fair enough, the best thing next time would be just to admit that you dont have an answer. That would definitely be better than just trying to twist your response like you have just done.
Youre a funny guy, I think im warming to you.

I think he may be insinuating the OP might be talking bks!
Which I think is fair. In a sane world, a chap who quickly dumps a car half in a disabled spot to clean up a mess would be met by a disabled driver who would just civilly ask if they were going to be long, would get a polite response, then wait a couple of brief minutes and all parties would have got along fine and the whole thing should have been a complete non issue. What seems to have happened here is someone who thinks driving a Porsche means they are more important than someone driving a Kia met someone who thinks having a disabled badge makes them more important than someone who is just quickly trying to deal with a little problem and they both end up creating a situation that never had any need to happen if both parties had been non self entitled twerps thinking they were more important than they are.
All the frothing on this thread about daring to stop momentarily, half in a disabled spot just shows that there are a large number of people out there these days who desperately need to pick arguments and create drama out of nothing.

What if I really need to do the shopping though. Like, there's no other spaces and I'm out of wet wipes?
What you're really saying is that it's acceptable under your conditions. You can park there for a bit if you feel you have a good enough excuse. You are not the arbiter of such thing though.

Had he barged past the old people to get the space I would agree with you.
Next time I'm flying economy I'm just going to sit in someone's first class seat. I mean, as long as I don't barge past them, what gives them any more right than me to sit in that seat.The coloured piece of paper that says so? Na, fk that, if I decide my need is greater, tough luck for them!

While I agree with the first part of your post, I think the frothing mostly comes from the OP being a dick and leaving stty wet wipes on a disabled persons car for no real reason, as if that's somehow teaching them a lesson...
Yup. Some of it does and as you say, that seems fair. A very small minded act. Nanook said:

What if all the regular spaces were occupied by blue badge holders who didn't park in designated areas when this happened to the OP? What if only disabled spaces were provided?
