tesco disabled spaces

[djad1200]

I've loaded the gun and put it to my head. Now you pull the trigger.


Anyway on with the story.

I don't have a blue badge and I parked in a Tesco disabled apace last night (5mins before closing time)

I figured that if someone is truly disabled then they wouldn't be able to RUN around the shop in that amount of time anyway.

When I got out of my car there was a young girl in the car next to me who could only be described as a fat heffa. With 4 kids and in her pyjamas. The then gave me a gob load of abuse for parking in a space when im clearly not disabled.

I looked at her FREE tax on her BRAND NEW car and just shook my head.

I was in tescos for a total of 90 seconds while I picked a loaf of bread up and ran back out to my car (and I paid for it)

Who is in the wrong here.

I have since found out that shopping centre disabled spaces are unenforceable as its only council ones that are. And I was parked there for less than the 12 minutes allocated loading time that you are also allowed in the UK.

So an unpleasant chap who justifies himself as knowing whether or not disabled people can use the space (and if it was marginal, made sure he couldn't)... vs. a fat person with a new car and free tax...

This is like watching Man U play Chelsea.

While it's probably not a big deal in this scenario if anyone was in the wrong here it was you.

HTH

You are...end of

[jimbobsimmonds]

Can I just ask why didn't you just park in a non disabled bay? Surely there are some around if its only 5 minutes from close...

[cuprabob]

You should have prasied the girl for buying a car with no tax, hence low emissions and saving the planet :-)

[Mini1275]

You are in the wrong. Nobody else.

Too get closer assuming the car park was empty?

[Captain Muppet]

OP - were there other spaces that you could have parked in and used your amazing running skills to get to the shop in time? If so, why didn't you use them? If not then saying so might get you more sympathy.

[keith333]

Able bodied people parking in disabled spaces does annoy people and as you have discovered annoy some so much that they shout abuse at you. If you don't want to run the risk of this happening, then park in a normal space.

[djad1200]

Lets look at it from another point of view.......
Jimmy Carr has just avoided tax and it is morally wrong
He didn't evade it as that is illegal

I have not parked in a council owned disabled space as that is illegal
I have parked in a privately owned disabled space which is morally wrong

Anyway putting 4 kids in the back of your car is illegal too :P

Hmm, so man has a go at fat woman instead of parking the extra, lets say 20 yards at most away... Even with less than Usain Bolt like levels of speed i'm sure you could cover it in 10 seconds extra... Seriously, it would have taken you less time to just park properly than you spent taking abuse off of the sea-monster in the car next to you...

What has that got to do with anything?

[djad1200]

These spaces are right by the doors and there was about 10 of them and there was only my car and her car there

Sorry I meant DISABLED tax

She clearly wasn't disabled either so maybe she was being ironic

Or she had a disabled child in the back of the car to take care of.

Don't worry about it. 9 disabled cars aren't going to go to Tesco at 10pm at night.
Yes they were probably benefit cheats. Probably claiming for all 4 kids.
Just laugh it off. You would have been in the wrong at midday but not at that time.

[FellowPazzini]

Just the thought of none disabled people parking at them spots angers me. People are so ignorant. Would love the job of clamping these retards cars & I'd be minted too.
