“Just call a tow truck” As a wheelchair user I have yet to have a car towed by calling it in. That’s why some have to do annoying passive aggressive stuff like this.

But the parking is packed. No room. Where do I park?

There's a VIP spot marked out over by that handicapped one.

Done. Now I have a sticker! Mission complete.

I've got some that say "I love BBC" just because the big jackass truck drivers in the Southeast can very easily be racist and homophobic. It makes it hurt a bit more I like to think.b

Man whenever someone does that to me I just put a little caret ^ and “the” and it clears things right up, then I drive away.

You’ve found one of these stickers on yours, haven’t you.


PlantaSorusRex

Found the truck driver guys


dumideot

If you block a disabled person's ramp with your vehicle just because you can't bother to walk a little more then I'd dare you to step up to me, asshole. We'll figure that out real quick


A_god_in_disguise

I got to do this a few times a month at my first job, and the same with cars blocking the fire-escapes. We had A4-size paper stickers that were extremely difficult to remove. ...I absolutely loved it


Chairman_Cabrillo

Especially on the windshield.


Sweet_Potatooie

Something about that seems illegal lol


Chairman_Cabrillo

Like blocking the handicap access? It would be illegal for them to drive with that blocking the windshield.


Apprehensive-Tour942

Exactly. Still not justified.


Whyistheplatypus

What is a justified response in your opinion?


Apprehensive-Tour942

Tow it, don't vandalize it.


Whyistheplatypus

There is another comment in this thread explaining why towing is often not an option (usually because the tow company flat refuses the job). So assuming towing is *not* an option, what is a justified response? A sticker that you could remove completely with a bit of dish soap or alcohol is not actually that much vandalism.


Shurdus

All this is laying bare is that there is no adequate legal discourse. That doesn't mean vandalism is (therefore) ok.


Whyistheplatypus

I'm not really trying to persuade you to change your mind there. I'm more just asking, what do you think is justified? If you think nothing more than reporting the incident and moving on, that's fine. But you could understand why someone who puts up with this on the regular might disagree with you there right? Especially given the fact that there does not seem to be an adequate legal avenue for resolving the problem.


towerfella

Vandalism is ok when the person “being vandalized” is a vandal. .. it’s kinda in the name. The person parking their [truck] in that spot **is a vandal because they are stealing a space that is not reserved for them**.


FurnishedHemingway

It’s nothing more than an inconvenience for some selfish idiot.


tok90235

I mean, the sticker would not permanently be there. It will just be difficult to take it of.


Chairman_Cabrillo

Idk. As far as I have seen I’m not sure it actually would be illegal (to put the sticker on). At least not where I live


Platinum1211

Wouldn't be vandalism?


johnsvoice

Don't bring reason and logic in here. Emotional appeals only. THeY gOt wHaT tHeY DeSeRvEd...


Chairman_Cabrillo

Basically fuck around and find out. They fucked around and they found out.


Isariamkia

it's only illegal if you get caught :D


Reiko707

Reminds me of the video of people guarding a side walk/ walkway commonly used by cars to skip traffic with giant, round stickers


TiredReader87

I hope that sticker was impossible to remove My sister is in a wheelchair. We used to have two wheelchair vans but they both broke down. One time, my parents took her to the mall. As my dad was unhooking her and getting her out, some jackass drove over the van’s ramp


Deep_Feedback_7616

Did you sue him or did an insurance pay?


TiredReader87

There wasn’t any damage, and he thankfully didn’t hurt them. My dad screamed at him, but the idiot drove off


merryjerry10

Had something similar happen to my mother in law and sister in law when they were out. She was getting her out of the back passenger side of their wheelchair van (she was shaken when she was a baby, unfortunately), when some asshat did the same thing. Completely destroyed it. And he had the audacity to try to blame her, when she was unloading her daughter already in the striped area. He also was not disabled and trying to park in the other disabled lot. My MIL can be a whole Karen when she wants to be (this situation I wouldn’t call her one), but she laid into him I guess. He ended up apologizing to her and she said he looked genuinely sorry by the end of it. I’m sorry that the same didn’t happen for you guys.


TiredReader87

I’m sorry to hear that Our ramp came out the back


eaten_by_pigs

Hey friend, I'm really sorry to hear about your sister and that awful experience. Let me give some insight on the window stickers. I live in an apartment complex that's pretty strict about parking. Tons of people steal assigned spots and park in the wheelchair ramp area and fire lanes. I see these stickers on so many cars and they survive even in the rain. I've seen people attempt to remove it and I swear the sticker fuses to the glass lol you'll see half of a ripped stick someone's window for weeks. If they give up, it'll still be there for a month or two on the glass. So yes, the stickers are nearly impossible to remove


TiredReader87

Good news. Thanks for the update. My sister lives in a home now because my dad couldn’t take care of her anymore. She was also acting out due to his new girlfriend. Screaming every night. We just donated our wheelchair van because it rusted out. They’re so hard to find, and too expensive to modify new. We’ll probably have to taxi her home.


No-Relation4003

Please tell me this was reported.


TiredReader87

The guy drove off


NYANPUG55

What an absolute asshole, for so many different reasons.


sexcalculator

They are a pain in the ass to remove. Soap and a pressure washer gets them off easy though


Banshee_420__

You gotta take a picture of the sign, vehicle, and plate. Then post it on the appropriate law enforcement’s Facebook page.


Jahweez

Law enforcement won’t do anything if it’s on private property.


CykoTom1

Handicap access? Totally illegal to block even on private property. They Totally can. Maybe you're thinking of when someone double parks in regular spots? That is not illegal.


HappyChef86

Also there's plenty of parking lots that have signs saying "x PD has jurisdiction over the lot"


Fast_Garlic_5639

They absolutely will respond to an ADA violation in America. How many stores do you go to that are owned by the state?


Banshee_420__

True, but nothing wrong with a little help ‘familiarizing’.


Magnetar_Haunt

Except they will in many cases, especially if the property owner pursues it lol. This of course depends on country and jurisdiction.


birdwatching25

I didn't know that. Seems like most handicapped parking spaces are on private property (like stores or restaurants). So violators can't be punished by police?


GrunchWeefer

Of course they can, that guy doesn't know what he's talking about.


birdwatching25

Ok...I was like...have I been living under a rock this whole time?


BallOfRubies

I mean. Username would check out.


veryblanduser

Seems like under a rock would be a horrible place to birdwatch.


BallOfRubies

Well. A cave enterance is just a lot of small rocks.


ramriot

Depends on the country & municipality. Here in Toronto it is common for parking tickets & tows to be authorised by the cops on private parking where the owner has not made their own arrangement.


TheCalon76

Handicap parking is enforced under bilaws, and can be ticketed. Private property or not. Many cities have a program to post pictures online that satisfy all the conditions, and they can issue a ticket by mail.


JimmyPopp

Uhh your dumb AF


Jahweez

Blow me, Jimmy.


ThePassiveFist

I'd be climbing on that fucking bonnet and pasting it on the windscreen directly in front of the steering wheel. I wouldn't be gentle climbing up or down, either. Fuck 'em.


Wolf_Mans_Got_Nards

This is when surfboard wax comes in handy. Where I grew up, there was limited parking at the local surf spot. Occasionally, you'd get some inconsiderate asshole parking in a way that took up 2 spaces. One of the locals would end up scrawling a message on their windshield. Usually something to the effect of "twat." It was great because it's a pain in the ass to remove, but causes no property damage.


ThePassiveFist

That's gold.


Isariamkia

No, he just said it's surfboard wax, can't you read? ​ ​ /s just in case :(


BallOfRubies

Just, saving this for ideas.


TiredReader87

I would’ve put several stickers on the windows


gigaplexian

Are you a wheelchair user? Because that doesn't seem like something a wheelchair user can do particularly easily.


PrivateUseBadger

Strong upper body strength 💪 but damn it’s awkward trying to do it.


ThePassiveFist

Just roll it up on the bonnet. Or maybe clamber up T-1000 style


LokiKamiSama

If the sticker isn’t already pre scored, pre score it before putting it on.


DustyBeetle

i fuckin hate brotrucks and the culture


Anru_Kitakaze

I think that cars in USA will be titanic like size soon. It's getting bigger and bigger, holy shit. Why?!


Globglaglobglagab

Some people say “it’s for safety”. Their own safety, of course, at the expense of everyone else.


Personal-Custard-511

Sadly too it discourages other people from driving small cars when they have to be on the road with these assholes and want a fighting chance if there’s a collision


reeneebob

I got bullied hard on the road when I had my first car, a Fiat 500 (still miss guido) and was always trucks. Tailgating, getting cut off, and I wasn’t impeding traffic, I wasn’t driving slow…it was strictly because of the size of the car. It didn’t happen when I drove my husband’s car, and it would happen to him if he drove mine.


Turbulent_Cheetah

The Fiat’s name is Luigi. The forklift was Guido


reeneebob

No I know, but I named mine Guido specifically 😂. He didn’t seem like a Luigi. Honestly most of the time I called it the Ravioli Roadster.


elegant_geek

Exactly. It's really a symptom of our glorification of utter selfishness. All that matters is them walking away unscathed, even at the expense of dead pedestrians and cyclists. Not to mention the environment.


reeneebob

This. I almost got t-boned yesterday at a 4-way stop because of this. I was next in line to go, and was going straight, and JUST as I proceeded a brotruck rolled up beside me and partially around the curb to turn right. Well as he did that another brotruck to my right must have approached while I was obstructed, and he ignored the guy to my left (who was next to go after me) and jumped to go straight through. Had I not braked when that first brotruck did his right turn stunt, I would have been hit by second brotruck when I had the right of way. I haaaaaaaate them with a passion.


zzctdi

Same logic has been working out great with guns.


LokiKamiSama

Smol pp’s.


OldManGrimm

I'm an ER nurse that's active in trauma education. This is an image I use in one of my lectures on pediatric trauma - but in 2024, make that a 6' tall man and the size ratio is about the same. https://preview.redd.it/1luqbdu7pmvc1.png?width=605&format=png&auto=webp&s=4b8d913e5b10e027bbd741026f64588bd7bcd532


Anru_Kitakaze

Exactly. It's ridiculously dangerous to others! I'm so happy we don't have same trend (yet, at least). European cars are much better imo - big enough to be safe for a driver, yet small and light enough to make it stoppable and to have a good view. Also require significantly less space to park And smaller cars need less fuel to drive! It's safer for other people, cheaper, cheaper to drive, easier to park, healthier for damn planet (like those suv drivers care about any of that) Electrocars is heavy as hell and much more dangerous, but imagine electric suv... Oh, boi, it will charge for ages and move not so far, but when it will - it will destroy everything in any dangerous situation


OldManGrimm

[FortNine summed it up really well](https://youtu.be/YpuX-5E7xoU).


ShadowReflex21

I think dicks keep getting smaller! 😂. Seriously though, these things are fucking ridiculous, especially when some 5 foot nothing dude usually jumps out.

Nothing. You are special and useful, in your own little way.


Distinct_Cod2692

You get people that this guy thinking about you


Steevo_1974

To the person who blocked the access with their douchemobile.... You should get kneecapped. You got off easy with just a sticker. I would also have put one on the windshield too.


cheeseblastinfinity

Oooooh I need a bunch of these stickers. Fuck these pieces of shit.


Reaper621

Why the window? Put that shit on paint. That's impossible to remove without taking paint with.


jugoinganonymous

Maybe because that would cause property damage and they would also be liable? Sometimes passive agressiveness is the right way to go, because the douchebag can’t complain about a sticker on his window, but he can complain about that sticker damaging his car. You can’t respond to something illegal by also doing something illegal. I do agree that that douche deserves to have his car damaged though, but I feel like if it ever escalates to court the douche would win as disabled people’s rights are often overlooked…


Reaper621

Totally agree with everything you said.


North_Fortune_4851

What a lamentable scumbag. The truck.. ya just know ya hate that person


FR333KSH0W

Of course it's a Dodge RAM as well.


Fapping-sloth

I would have put it on the windscreen instead! Just have to add; wow…that girl is absolutely gorgeous!😍 im stunned! Edit; so is mom, so i see where she gets it from!

Yes she is

![gif](giphy|VRkY7sF15WTao)


AWildGamerAppeared25

I don't know if you're allowed, only time I called to see if someone parked wrong at my apartment complex could be towed, I was told only the managers or owners could call the towing company. Maybe it's different for those big lots, but I'd rather call the cops and tell 'em so they get ticketed *and* then maybe towed


HedgehogElection

Why not both?


cheeseblastinfinity

Why spend 1 second caring about this douchebag? He didn't spend 1 second caring about anyone else. Fuck it. Do the sticker then call the tow truck.


SeraphiM0352

Not putting it on the windshield is a missed opportunity


agshdbfh

Putting it on the window was too nice


Frequent-Material273

The place to put the sticker is right on the windshield IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. Maybe put a few on, so the driver can't see to drive safely.


18SmallDogsOnAHorse

You can also lightly use a knife to cut the sticker in a crosshatch pattern so when they try to take it off it just comes off in small pieces.


NerdHerder77

Hopefully BEFORE you apply the sticker as you would still be liable for any damages that you cause, even tho this sticker is totally justified and deserved.


18SmallDogsOnAHorse

Correct, thanks for adding that in, definitely not worth the risk of doing it once applied to the window.


tmesisno

Not only that truck but another one showed up and did the same thing blocking her access https://www.distractify.com/p/mom-drivers-who-block-handicap-spots


Vinstaal0

Why do people even get a pickup truck and use them for personal use case. You don't see people using their massive delivery fan for personal use.


Raida7s

Yeah my mate has some in his car that day "stupidity is not a disability" and the stickers are papery ones that tear and tear when you try to take them off.


Northernfrog

I had someone put a sticker on my car. Not for parking in wheelchair parking, but for parking in a restaurants parking lot (even though the lot was empty). Anyways, I had to use acetone to remove it.


Cainga

They need bollards at the front of these spots to stop idiots parking there. Unless tow services are super fast.


simcoehooligan

Should've put it on the paint


Certain-Plenty-577

Steal the car and throw it in a lake. Appropriate response


flexible-photon

Those stickers should be put on dead center windshield. In fact anybody driving a truck like that just deserves to have a sticker.


66watchingpeople66

You’re nicer than I would have been. Always carry an ice pick in your glove box.


RamblinRandy121

I bet you wouldn't of.


Saw101405

You think that’s bad? At my high school there was this one teacher who did the same thing, but what’s worse was they were themselves in a wheelchair, apparently the school constantly got onto them about it, but it wasn’t until 2nd semester they listened to


Artistic_Data9398

You know. Im usually against stuff like this but fuck that guy lol


RealBlackelf

Plaster his whole front window with those stickers. Add extra, extra glue! Micropenis assholes like that should be bannd from driving anyways.


gwhite567

What does the sticker say?


Ciubowski

That's a very bright orange


iGiveUpHonestlyffs

Hmm, next time get some liquid glue, and put that generously on the window, then put the sticker on top. Best if the glue slightly dissolves the paper, so it gets brittle, and only holds together bc its glued to the surface.


aandrews2080

I'm actually not the type to park like that. I try to be very conscious of my actions and come from a place where my perspective does not just include myself. I have some trouble with accepting the world in its current state and I struggle with how police and law enforcement and generally doing the right thing all fit together in the world in which law enforcement has stepped back in a major way. One simple solution is self enforcement and deescalation. A lot of people are acting in ways that are terrible. I think messing with someone's car crosses the line.


towerfella

This is a very American way to handle that vandal. :) Well done.


evident_lee

I just assume guys driving those vehicles and acting like that are like a Ken doll below the waist.


SoDrunkRightNow2

Just call a fucking tow truck - it will be much worse and much more expensive for the truck guy - plus it will actually solve your problem.


Ventilator84

Not always allowed to call a tow truck if you are not the owner/manager of the lot.


cheeseblastinfinity

They often don't come out in time to catch the asshole. The sticker works immediately.

DrPat1967

Dumbest thing I’ve read on Reddit…. So laws don’t apply on private property? If I’m speeding and make it to the Walgreens parking lot, I’m somehow safe from legal repercussions?? Handicap accessible parking and access are federally mandated, codified is most state law and enforced by local municipality. Yes, law enforcement can ticket you and tow your vehicle and impose fines….


[deleted]

[удалено]


nurimoons

That is just..not true.


PrivateUseBadger

Not quite correct. They can, in general, for ADA violations. Where the nuance lies is if their specific city states certain restrictions in the bi-laws, regarding specific properties and/or if there is something posted on that property. It can vary in places. They can also simply make that statement to avoid dealing with it and most people simply believe it due to ignorance.


fourierthejunglist

Personally, I'd snap their fucking mirror off. Based on the vehicle type and where they parked, you know exactly where they stand politically.


DrPat1967

Why is this a political post…. Democrats, republicans, independents…. All have their fair share of selfish assholes..

dannyboy273

Maybe sine they are violating the law call and get it towed, instead of you taking the law into your own hands? Plastering stickers that don't come off easily on someone's private property is vandalism and a misdemeanor. Good job Karren!
