I have a disability and want to smack these jerks with my cane.
Schrader valves can be easily removed with a cheap tool. The valve cores aren’t expensive, but remove one on 2 wheels, and they aren’t going anywhere and won’t actually cause damage.
You don’t need the tool if you want to be devious. Just grab any readily accessible small piece of gravel, grit, or detritus readily available in any paved area and screw it down onto the valve pin with the tire stem cap. That’ll allow the air out of the tire and will usually fall out unnoticed when the mark removes the cap later. The problem will then not reoccur, but with luck they’ll be forever paranoid that it may randomly happen again.
It damages the sidewall of the tire.
Oh nooooo, their tire may have to be replaced. How scandalous.
They’ll 100% just fill it back up at a gas station and drive on it until it blows out.
No damage, except for blocking the handicap spot longer than it would otherwise.
Food delivery (e.g. Uber) vehicles that park in disabled parking spots make me so angry. I’m always tempted to steal their license plates.
I would get so much satisfaction seeing it towed.
judging from the plates its also a dealer car or at least not street legal
Devils advocate, how do you know they’re not disabled?
I seldom take my grandmother to the shops because she’s adamant we go in person and I don’t have a disabled sticker on my car.
I will park in the disabled spot anyway because she needs a fucking wheelchair.
Be careful whos cars you vandalise kids, you better be absolutely fucking sure because I would go ape shit at you.
The white car isn’t parked in a disabled spot. Its parked in front of the ramp for a wheelchair, which isn’t a space
That car is incompatible with a ramp because it doesn’t have sliding doors and there’s plenty of space to get a wheelchair between the vehicles. Moreover, it’s legal to park in that ramp if you’re disabled and there’s no more handicap spots.
The only situation this is unacceptable is if the white car does not have a disabled occupant and we don’t know that from this photo.
I think you’re misunderstanding which ramp I mean. Looking between the wheels of the white car, it looks like there’s a ramp the goes from the parking lot up on to the sidewalk. The white car would prevent a person using a wheelchair getting onto the sidewalk.
Oh shit yeah I was misunderstanding which ramp, I see it now. I’m British and we would call that a “dropped curb”, makes sense now
I’ve seen multiple idiots, some entitled, some clueless that parked in the loading areas thinking it was okay because they’re “not taking a handicapped spot”
I’m disabled, but I can still walk. The entitlement boils my blood too.
The yellow lined area is not a parking space. The space is left open for ramps on vehicles that need an extra side space to get in and out of and extend the ramp.
The yellow lined area is not a parking space
I know, that’s why I said “loading area” when referring to that space.
It’s also left open because that’s where the drop curb is for people getting out of a car parked in the accessible spot can physically get onto to sidewalk.
I should be very thankful that were I live, people rarely park on reserved spots and pretty much all shopping carts are being returned.
Germany is indeed a great place to live - I’m assuming you’re German because of your domain suffix, plus it makes sense. My sister-in-law lives there and I just love visiting. My favorite part is how the people I’ve met are just so straightforward. I wish everyone was so honest and direct!
This is infuriatingly common where I live.
With a dealer tag on the vehicle, as well. This dillweed is specifically doing this because he believes he is untraceable due to not having a license plate.
Well we can make it Cana’s Garage’s problem.
I had to double check. Thought that it was a ‘coroner’ wagon.
No luck googling canas garage in Washington state, must be their twitch channel or something.
Probably a local “small business” that isn’t registered anywhere but somehow gets dealer plates and uses their hustle to avoid paying taxes
lol edit:
I found them with one YouTube video with the same car clearly in the background
Why make your fake business name also the name of the channel where you only post one video of your kids doing an unboxing?
Taxes.
Texas?
The IRS takes tips… Just saying. If anyone were to drop this in their inbox. If they’re wealthy enough you get a reward. Honestly I’m not sure how we don’t have people who just make this their job.
People focus on merch and branding WELL before they have any business model all of the time. It’s totally possible they paid for a $50 custom sticker, and locked down a domain name for 10 years, and hadn’t even applied for a business license.
Edit: watched the video, the rear windows are a different shape I don’t think these are the same cars.
True, definitely a different vehicle, but also the only occurrence of that name anywhere on the internet so could just be a coincidence or could be a weird choice of someone who likes that name
Has it become legal in America to park in the fire lane in front of shopping centers? Last couple years most of them around me are just full of cars.
Under normal circumstances, the parking lot is private property, meaning that police do not have jurisdiction there regarding parking or traffic. In other words, you can’t get a ticket in a parking lot. Unless the property owner has requested that the police patrol the lot and write tickets, and the police agree to do so, and are allowed to (or not disallowed) by local ordinance. That’s going to be pretty rare, though.
In cases like yours, and OP’s, the resolution is for the owner of the parking lot to have the vehicle(s) towed. At a standalone store, the store is not going to be eager to anger a customer by towing their car. At a strip mall, the operators of the stores probably do not also own the parking lot, and so wouldn’t have the power to tow.
Apparently it’s legal here as long as the drive puts on their hazard lights.
In fact everywhere in the states apparently it’s safe to park if you just put on your hazards now.
You should always travel with a baseball bat and a shot gun for exactly this scenario. Some lives don’t matter.
(Sarcasm…I guess)
That shit ain’t immune to keys
Fun story time that, for legal reasons, is a complete fabrication:
Was going food shopping one weekend. No smaller carts inside so walked out and went to one of the drop offs to grab one. On the way back, I see someone put their car into reverse from the “ramp”. Some people stop and wait for them to leave. I just keep walking and pushing my cart while considering my speed “just in case”.
They IMMEDIATELY peel out and smash into the cart. It goes under their tire and rips off most of the bumper and pops their tire (which was fucking terrifying). They get out and start screaming at me and threatening to call the cops and kick my ass. I explain “So… you are going to call the cops and explain to them you didn’t look when backing up from an illegal parking space and hit a pedestrian? I’m in a bit of a rush but I guess I can stick around for that”. Lady who was trying to get her walker out of her car even volunteers to be a witness.
Had a good old laugh and walked to get a new cart. They were still there freaking out when I left the store.
Did everybody clap?
You’re one of my new favorite people.
Allegedlys.
Hey, we all need stories like this in our current capitalist hellscape. True or not.
Love that you had to insert a remark on capitalism even though this has nothing to do with that
I dunno. Is it the capitalist part or the hellscape part? Maybe if Rich people were as generous as they pretended they are and we lived in a Capitalist Utopia it wouldn’t be a problem?
So in a communist sosciety you wouldnt need those good stories but because of “our capitalistic hellscape” you do? How come? What has this story have to do with capitalism? Absolutely nothing! You just had to rub your (unreasoned) opinion into everyone’s face.
Well that depends. Are talking about a communist utopia or a communist hellscape?
Allegediddlydoo
Not that it’s necessarily the case here, but I destroyed my knee and had crutches etc for a while, and I just got a tag to hang from my mirror.
Someone walked up before I got out of the car yelling about how I can’t park there, and then I got out with my crutches and knee wheelie and pointed at the handicap tag on my rear-view mirror.
Again, probably not the case here, but I had that thing for about a month, and I caught a ton of dirty looks and stuff because people assumed all handicapped indicators are on license plates.
I hate citizens who play cops. To them I say: Unless you are the person looking at the X-rays and medical clipboard, you cannot make the judgement on what someone else is going through. If you are bugged by someone in the handicap parking space and didn’t even take the time to look over to see a sign on their vehicle, go talk to the manager in the building. Don’t target the person struggling to get out of their vehicle. That’s not your job.
OP is talking about the car in the yellow striped zone, which is not a parking space. It’s space reserved for ramps for the adjacent handicap parking spaces.
