The worst parking.

My car is on the right. Came back from dinner with my friend who is 93, and here’s what I see.

It's a shame you couldn't have that vehicle towed. (I imagine you just wanted to leave)

[Bjeanj]

Oh no. What did you do?

[coffeebean]

How did that shifter feel as you slid past it to get to the driver's seat? Ouch!

[rjm1cc]

I think I would take the picture to the police station and see if a ticket can be issued.

[Stu from NYC]

I think I would take the picture to the police station and see if a ticket can be issued.

It is parked illegally and rather irresponsibly.

If we were younger would have taken concrete measures to show them we were not amused.

[Bikeracer2009]

When I was a young man I had a low tolerance for that kind of cr@p. This would've cost them 4 new tires.

Since I'm older and less prone to such actions I would've uncovered my belt buckle and slide down the side of the car to squeeze into my car. Obviously not able to get my door open I would only attempt this maneuver a half dozen times.

[Number 10 GI]

I would have called the police and let them call for a tow truck. I think I could crawl over the console and get into the driver seat but there is no way my wife could.

[JohnN]

I think I would take the picture to the police station and see if a ticket can be issued.

I agree, share it with the cops.

[n8xwb]

Perhaps we are all coming to the wrong conclusion? Clearly the car on the right is in a handicap parking space. Is that car parked legally? Does it have a handicap plate or placard on display? If not, perhaps the Chevy driver has a placard and sees that the handicap spot was being used by someone who does not have the proper credentials. Sooooo then the handicapped Chevy driver did the best he could squeezing into the spot that should have been available? If this is the case, he/she did a pretty good job.... Just sayin'

Two wrongs don't make a right. My assumption is the OP has a handicap permit or he/she's not all there posting a photo that would incriminate him/her.

[Taltarzac725]

OP says his or her car is on the right. That is the one that is not shockingly parked. And the one on the left shows the license plate.

[DeanFL]

.

my mind races when I see stupid (I'm being very kind and non-vulgar) things like this.
First - I would have placed the 93 YO in the pass seat of my car then - go to establishments near the parking and try to have them announce to find the owner. If they were able to in a reasonable amount of time - like 5 minutes, I would have personally SO chewed them out. Picture of car/plate for evidence.
Second - if I had to go thru the pass door and over the console etc etc, I must say...there may be some minor damage to the body of that car on the left. No excuse for that type of ridiculous park job. period. Idiotic.

[b0bd0herty]

Am unsure but, the parking lot of a restaurant is private property and Law Enforcement will be unable to take any actions. These type of douchebags are almost begging for their car to be keyed. :(

[Hiltongrizz11]

And who pays for that? They ain't gonna tow unless the property owner calls and pays

[Hiltongrizz11]

Brilliant. We know it's illegally parked

[Hiltongrizz11]

Lol that is NO excuse even if it is true.
Wow

I’m a little confused. Are you saying a handicap driver can park illegally?

[camaguey48]

It's a shame you couldn't have that vehicle towed. (I imagine you just wanted to leave)
You were parked legally in a handicapped space. This "person" who shall be referred as such for lack of a much worse word, should have been reported to the police. Your right was trampled on and you let yourself get Bullied. Sorry you had to go through that. At least the auto tag is very visible and I hope he or she visit this site and realize how inconsiderate he or she was.

If they are a big enough scumbag to park like that then they aren’t going to care what some random people on the internet think about them.

[noslices1]

Time to call a tow truck and show this entitled (B- word) that it’s not nice to be a jerk.

Sounds like you might have been driving the car on the left. Police should have been called.

[Medtrans]

My car is on the right. Came back from dinner with my friend who is 93, and here’s what I see.

I would have called the police to say I can get in my car because the other is parked illegally. Even if they can’t tow it, the driver could be given a ticket. Parking car or cart in the striped area of a handicapped spot is pretty low. The reason for this striped area is to get a wheelchair out of a van using that handicapped space. How inconsiderate. If you’ve ever needed that spot for someone you too would be frustrated. I just don’t get it.

[Girlcopper]

I think I would take the picture to the police station and see if a ticket can be issued.
No. Tickets arent issued when you bring a picture in. This isnt odd. People do it all the time. Prob an elderly person who thought it was a spot. No big deal.

[Girlcopper]

I agree, share it with the cops.
And the cops will smile and say nice picture. Thanks for sharing n walk away.

[Art cov]

This is over the top! This car is entirely to close and appears to be deliberately parked like this with intention. The car is parked very carefully as close as possible, and not just (a swing in here) scenario. Maybe in the recent past and without knowing, you angered this person and this action is payback. Some folks will lay on a horn or make a finger signal but perhaps the driver is purposely doing this to pay you back. That person could have been observing you as you returned to your car, I certainly hope the driver is a goober, lacking parking skills and had no evil intentions. Would calling the police or tow truck angered the guilty even more? However, the way people drive, nothing should surprise us. It is crazy! Just another view

[Jensor17]

I had same sort of incident at almost totally vacant parking lot outside of pool at Rec center. Golf cart pulled so close to my vehicle I had less than 10” to get into driver seat. I am disabled. My car had handicapped tag + H/C hangplacard. A slim person came along and very kindly offered to get in driver seat & back the car out for me to get in.

[Topspinmo]

And who pays for that? They ain't gonna tow unless the property owner calls and pays

The owners pays to get they’re car back form the impound lot. When police have vehicles towed they don’t pay for it, the owners do when they pickup car, if they don’t pay they loose there car and there are additional charges for storage, so it added up pretty quick, why you see tow companies with lot full of junk cars. Yes, call the sheriffs. Once they call for tow even it owner shows up they pay plus ticket.

Carts will be close if they don’t stagger park. If only one cart in space people complain call the entitled.

That qualifies you as a criminal

[Art cov]

Have you ever noticed a car that looks horrible with dents and rust, paint peeling, and an eyesore. People will park as far away as possible. As if the driver just doesn’t care if someone door dings or not. What happens when we see that vehicle parked next to our nice vehicle? Lo we start inspecting for the door dings and damages if they park to close. I parked a classic vette in a parking lot at least 100 ft from another vehicle. With a almost empty parking lot I went back to my classic and Lo n behold a scrap yard car parked inches away. Not one other vehicle within 100 feet. Maybe I need rat rods!

[oneclickplus]

Law enforcement has authority over ALL handicap spaces regardless of location ... just as they have control over who gets a permit / placard.

[airstreamingypsy]

Instead of taking a photo, I would have made a call to the police. This is ridiculous. The driver of that car should have paid a fine, and the impound lot to get their car back.

[Phil D]

Leave there car door Get a screwdriver and leave a lot of HOLES in there door

[Edcarney]

Send the picture to the Police Department and to the Sheriffs Office. Whoever this is needs to be ticketed.

Property like this is public access subject to law enforcement. Violations involving handicap parking can result in arrest in Florida.

[rlcooper70]

Was it a prank? Or was the lot so full that this was the only space? Clearly the driver was not thinking about you. Sorry.

[Roron123]

OMG 😆 Should have called sheriff as person must have a vision problem and should not be driving! 😅

Only if he get caught, plenty of law breakers out there that don’t get caught.

OP should trade in for a 2020 Hyundai with Smart Park. Using the remote, you can back the car out of the spot enabling you to get in your car and away from crazy people who would park like the one next to you.

My car is on the right. Came back from dinner with my friend who is 93, and here’s what I see.

The car that blocked you in committed a Violation of FSS 316.155. Your car was properly parked in a handicap space with painted lines and a required sign. You should have called the police. An officer/deputy or a civilian traffic enforcement aide could issue the citation. It's a violation regardless if is public or private property. It would be the officers discretion on towing the car.
The officer must actually see the violation, not just a photo.

[Nevermore]

As I am in a wheelchair, this kind of stuff makes me furious. Stay out of areas meant for disabled and off the areas needed to get out of van.

Another annoyance....women who use handicapped stalls as dressing rooms. A curse on you!🧟*♀️🧟🧟*♂️🧙🏻

[kimreniska@mac.com]

Why were you parked in a handicap spot? Just having a93 yr old passenger does not allow you to take a handicap parking spot.

[Carla B]

Is that stripped area a no parking zone? Just wondering.

Illegal or inconsiderate parking has been documents on VNews. Outcome 0 it continues whether it be a car, truck, or golf cart. Villagers seem to think they are privileged by a significant minority.

Boy, that's some scenario and a lot of ifs. I am sure he had a handicapped sticker, but even if he didn't, the jerk on the left had no right parking where he did in a no parking zone. He did not do his best to park in a no parking zone whether he was handicapped or not, and he did a lousy job of pinning in someone.:boom:

[pauld315]

This happened to somebody I know when she was in SS with her adopted children. One of which is in a wheelchair. She happens to be an employee here at one of the restaurants. She immediately called the police and the police ordered a tow truck to tow the offending car to impound. That is what should have happened in this situation.

You make the assumption that the OP was handicapped and was parked legally in the handicap parking space. To date, I do not believe the OP has stated that he/she was parked legally in that spot. Perhaps this is why he/she didn't call 911!?!

[tophcfa]

Dam, if I was 45 years younger, with a couple of my buddies, and the car was a VW bug, we would have just picked it up and flipped it over. Those were the days : )

this happened to us a couple of years ago...although it was a cart that someone squeezed into a small space that allowed them obviously to get out, however there was no way I could open my driver side door to get in

you know that the selfish cart driver knew that I'd have to crawl over from the opposite side, but just didn't give a damn

[Nick B]

America's friendliest home town! Lol

[Bill14564]

it appears you are parked in a handicapped spot. do you have a handicapped permit, or plate.

?? How is that answer important? If they didn't have a permit or plate then that somehow makes it okay to park in a clearly illegal way? The driver of the second vehicle first checked for a permit or plate and then looked into the Florida driving manual to find the section that said they could park on the striped area next to a handicapped spot?

All the ridiculous "what ifs" don't change the fact that the vehicle on the left was parked illegally and the driver deserved to be fined.

[Rich42]

Unfortunately, the old adage continues to apply. You just can’t fix stupid!

[Two Bills]

The longer the OP fails to respond to the simple question, 'do you have a Handicap Permit' the more it sems both vehicles are illegally parked, in which case I have no sympathy for the predicament he was in.
In fact if OP had no permit, another car parked close alongside the passengers side, would have made it a perfect evening for me!

[mike234]

the person who started this thread, has not responded to any questions that the readers have asked. the joke is on us. it is a fake post.
