Some of you know that I have a handicapped daughter,well now everyone who reads this knows. It always makes me crazy when I come out of the store and see someone parked not in the handicapped spot, but in the loading zone (wheelchair lane) next to it. I usually wait and tell them that it isn't a parking spot (I would think that the white diagonal lines across the area would give that away) but last night I decided something different was in order.

Been a lot better if you had some chain and an old padlock to run through them or at the minimum a bunch of wire ties.
-
It would have been legendary if you connected them together. But it's a shame that people have no common sense or decency.
-
yeah that makes me the world's worst Boy Scout because I'm never prepared when the opportunity strikes

Some days you just don't have a ball of twine.

Every problem can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

Ugh, the worst part is that it's just a scooter. This is the correct response:
Every problem can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.
But yeah, that sucks, and you probably handled it better than I would have. I mean, I bet those tip over so easily...
-

My advice: always carry around a roll of duct tape and a multitool on your person. You'll never be unprepared again. :) People were often amazed that I just happen to have some tape, knife and pliers whenever they're needed.
Though it's also important to remember that you have this stuff. Not much is worse than walking through a forest in pitch darkness going back from an ASG match, only to realize (when you're at the base) that you've got no less than two high-power flashlights in your pockets.

I've taken to carrying a bundle of rope (parachute cord) in my car at all times, plus my toolbox in the trunk, the latter mostly because I can't trust my car 100%.
But yes, rope at all times and a knife. And a rag at least.

*cough*

I leave my chloroform home unless I need it that day :nervous:
EDIT: I mean, you never know when you'll need rope to tie parts of your car down, secure a large load, tow something. The knife is for when you need to cut said rope, your seatbelt after a crash, or to fend off carjackers. The rag is about the most massively useful thing you can have, like a towel, partly for its great practical value.
... This isn't helping, is it?
-
'dat backpedal, bro.
-
You definitely showed more restraint than I would have...that thing's just asking to be slammed against the ground.
-
I carry duct tape in my truck. I also carry panty hose (yes it's true, they makea great emergency alternator belt). I could have unrolled a bunch of the tape and twisted it to make a rope, which I have done before, I just didn't think of it last night.
As far as restraint goes, shopping carts are amazingly unwieldy, what with that one bad wheel that comes standard on the cart, you know the one, the wheel that makes them hard to steer. Sorry about the new scratches dude.
-
Well-played indeed.
-
That scooter wouldn't have survived my wrath if I'd have been in the situation
It'd of been dragged into a new parking spot and flipped upside down
Then I'd put a whole bunch of shopping carts around it
Course stealing the seat is a must
I should keep a wasp nest handy by the handlebars
I still tip my hat to you sir
-
I am thinking that I ma going to keep doing it when these things happen. (watch for it and see how often it really does happen), and the beauty is....since they are illegally parked to begin with, insurance won't cover any damage.
I just figured you guys would apreciate the humor in what I did.
But yeah, tying them together is a must. When they come out all pissed of about the vehiclebeing surrounded, they will probably grab a shopping cart and move it roughly....thus causing a different cart to damage the vehicle. God you guys are so deliciously evil.
-
get a couple of meters of cheap chain and a cheap padlock from your local harware store. It'll probs only cost you a couple of quid/dollars while being disposable.
-
Take dog **** and smear it all over the seat
Piss on the handles
DEFECATE EVERYWHERE
-
id have mothballed the tank, pushed it on its side out of the accessability area, then i would get a can of spraypaint and write the word "douchebag" all over it. finally id go get the biggest dildo i could find at the nearest adult toystore and epoxy it to the seat.

As much fun as you're all having here, doesn't tying them together defeat the purpose? You're annoyed with them blocking a space that shouldn't be blocked. By keeping them there, the space stays blocked for longer.
-
The point of this is not to keep the space clear once its been occupied.
-
Couldn't you just call the cops?

Well yeah, but where's the fun in that?

I'm looking at this and thinking it does nothing. The rider doesn't even have to break stride, all they have to do is push the back one aside and back out. Leaving the space blocked with carts.
-
The cops would most likely just give the person a ticket. Not really worth a call for them.
Appreciate the emotion and the humor

Lorric, i don't mean to sound rude, but I think the spirit of this passed right by you. Push the back cart out of the way, then mount the scooter, you can't, another cart. The point is to annoy. By the way, the kid getting the grocery carts saw what I was doing and loved it. He kept purposely leaving those carts until the owner of the scooter came out. Once he was gone the kid grabbed the carts. Yeah I stuck around, what fun would it have been if I hadn't?

Ah, I see now. More carts off camera? I thought you did it because you didn't want to wait for the person to confront them this time like you did previous times. So if you stuck around, did you go and see them?
EDIT: Don't worry, I don't think you were rude.

Didn't need to go anywhere, I sat in my truck right next to the loading zone in question and waited. That photo was taken from my driver's seat. My last words were...My handicapped daughter thanks you for not parking in a handicapped loading zone. He had two words for me....the socond word was "you", I'm sure you can figure out the first.
I did it to annoy, they may forget a conversation, but not an annoying incident.

I guess you got more of that from just talking to these people, so they need a little something extra. But good for you for trying to make a difference.

scene 2)
a man in a plaster cast slowly limps his way back from the DMV with his fresh new temporary handicap tag in hand...

yea, i think it would be totally awesome to throw the owner of the bike in the back of a van and sever his spinal cord with some bolt cutters. now that would be justice.
