KinkaidAlum Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 The worst thing I have seen...Some middle aged fella in a puke green Hummer pulls up into a handicap space infront of Eatzi's. He gets out and just walks into the store. No tag. I was eating outside with some friends and we noticed that he also had one of those onbnoxious WWJBD stickers on the back window.So, we take out a pen and a piece of paper and write in big block lettering"Jeses would not be driving a Hummer and He really wouldn't park in a handicap spot. He's watching you."We left it on the windshield and waited for his return. Unfortunately, the ___wipe just balled it up without reading it and tossed it in the parking lot.

ssullivan Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I agree on the handicap thing. A few years ago my mother had foot surgery and had to use a wheelchair for about six months before the surgery and several weeks after it. Then she went through a variety of casts, crutches, a walker, etc. over the next six months. She had a handicap hanger tag for her rearview mirror because she really needed it. It gave us all great appreciation for people who are disabled who really do need to park as close to a business's front door as possible.Now, my old boss fell several years ago and broke her hip. For a while she couldn't walk at all and then had a lot of difficulty in walking and needed a handicap tag. However, even when she was nowhere around, her husband always parked in handicap spaces because the tag was in the car. What's worse is that three years later she's long since recovered and walks fine. However she's always had a weight problem and complains about walking more than absolutely necessary - even though she'd be a lot healthier if she got up off her a$$ and walked a little more often. But she still uses the handicap tag everywhere she goes even though she has no real need for it, and she even admits she just uses it out of laziness.Here at my apartment complex there's a van with a license plate indicating it's registered to the Mexican consultate. This person hasn't lived here long, and I haven't actually seen the individual, but the van is ALWAYS in the only handicapped space on my side of the first level of the parking garage. And of course the van has no tag anywhere on it indicating it can legally be parked there. This is in a parking garage with tight spaces and the three handicapped spaces on the ground level of the garage are the only spaces where one could attempt to load/unload someone who needs assistance. I'm just waiting to actually see the driver of the van and if he/she appears healthy and able-bodied, I will be leaving a note on their windshielf and reporting them to the complex management. Diplomatic immunity or not, they either need to stop parking in that spot, or if there is a legitimate need to park there, get a handicapped tag for the car.

Subdude Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 we noticed that he also had one of those onbnoxious WWJBD stickers Yes, one of those What Would James Bond Do stickers. Seriously, I would like to have that list printed up on cards to leave on some cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzseattle Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Don't pussyfoot, just report him: EVERYDAY - 3, 4, or 5 times a day. Tell them that you have handicapped family members from out of town coming in and if he's parked there without a tag when they get there, and they have to park far away - it's a lawsuit, plain & simple. I had do to that, and I was telling the truth as my parents bring my grandparents (just grandma now - grandpa past away last year) to the med center once a month to see their specialists, and then spend the night with me. Add to this they drive 3 hours from Louisiana, so they're already inconvienced. Sure enough, the management sluffed off my first attempts at politely pointing out the handicap parking violators (usual 2 or 3 different young punks), so I threatened them with a lawsuit. I didn't want to have to do that, but I tried politeness, and all I got was forgotten. After a nasty letter along with photos of the violators, I started seeing that spot open alot more. I even watched 3 different cars get towed. Talk about sweet, sweet satisfaction.If I ever get into office, I'm going to see to it that firefighters, while on the firetruck or ambulance, can write parking tickets. This is mostly for parking in the fire lane, but will also benefit in handicap parking abuse situations.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Speaking of young punks, this weekend, someone sprayed-painted some graffiti (actually, some symbols in a language I don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kzseattle Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I live in the Westchase district.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>The management has already started cleaning it up with new coat of paint. They seem pretty concerned about the potentially negative fallout. Consequently, the offender's family is being asked to pay a fine (apparently, someone saw him doing it). If they refuse, they are gonna be evicted! What a price to pay for a little fun, eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssullivan Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Well I really needed one of these cards yesterday. I had run out to Katy Mills Mall and no sooner got off I-10 and stopped at a traffic light when a woman rams into me from behind, knocking my car into the SUV in front of me. She said her foot slipped and she was stopped before it happened, but I didn't see her behind me in the mirror before she hit me, and she hit me with enough force to do serious damage to both ends of my car. Thankfully she has insurance and I wasn't seriously hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowbrow Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I have a personal pet peive about door dings.... the other day I was coming out of a restaurant and this big duelly pulls up next to my car.. I began to grimmace... sure enough the passenger side door swings open, full force and fast and slams into the side of my car. I was about to say something when I saw all these kids helping their mentally handicapped little brother (who had opened the door) get out of the monster truck. They apologized for getting in my way (I doubt they noticed my door) and we went on our not-so-merry ways.Oh well just another ding to get pulled.... Amazing how close I came to screaming. That would have been quite the scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssullivan Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 owwww... my neck - my back... I want to go to the hospital.. :wink wink:You laugh and I used to always make fun of people who yelled "LAWSUIT" over this kind of thing. But since the accident I've been dealing with headaches and my neck is quite sore. I can't turn my head around to look behind me at all. I may be going to the doctor tomorrow to have everything checked out because it's not getting any better. Fortunately I was wearing my seatbelt - that's the only reason I didn't slam into the steering wheel and windshield - and my headrest was pulled all the way up and right behind my head. I still remember the seatbelt catching me, my chin hitting my chest as my head went forward, and then everything snapping back and my head hitting the headrest. It didn't really hurt at the time but today... it's been pretty uncomfortable.The ironic thing was at lunch Sunday some friends and I were talking about head/neck/back problems and I was just about the only person at the table who'd never had any of those issues. That may not be the case anymore thanks to someone not paying attention to the fact there was a line of cars stopped in front of her!

I'm personally turning into a hypocondriac (sp?) as I get older. I'm almost always ailing from something. Making up for 30 years of never getting ill I guess.

ssullivan Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Thanks Lowbrow. This morning the right side of my neck is still sore but the rest of it is much much better. And my shoulder is also better, so hopefully this will just be minor aches and pains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
