For first story - the KAREN was not in the right...but neither were you. You can use the placard IF your gm is in the car. But if you aren't disabled, you are not permitted to use the placard, even if your grandmother's "gifted" it to you. I no longer drive for multiple reasons, including for the safety of myself and anyone else in the vicinity. And I don't necessarily LOOK disabled - although that's changed somewhat in the past year . (cancer - survivor)
Story 1 OP you were wrong, and the other lady was wrong. I have a severe ire for someone who isnt handicapped using handicapped parking. Many times I have needed a space and couldn't use one because a person without a placard, or plates decided they deserved it more. I am handicap despite looking ok. Walking hurts, breathing hurts. Life hurts. I was injured in Iraq. Yet entitled people think they deserve them more.
Dear Chess Mom, Your kid asked to review the game. He also wouldn't have offered to help clean up if YOU had been there, watching your kid, instead of wherever you were for over an hour after the tournament. Sincerely, Someone who paid more attention to your kid than you did.
Placard is only for disabled person. I have both at disabled tag and a placard. The tag is on my own car and the placard I use if I am being driven in someone else’s car. It is not at any time for an able bodied person to take a space just to make loading up easier. Every one was AH’s.
I think being hit was indeed wrong. I have greater ire directed to the person using her Grandmother’s placard. Years ago a coworker used a dead relatives handicapped hanger. When she finally got caught I & many others felt schadenfreude as she had frequently bragging about her claimed parking rights.
My Mom didn't drive, but she had a Handicap Parking permit. It was supposed to go in the car of whoever was driving her, to park in the handicap spot. However, most times, she was let out by the door of the store/mall/doctor/wherever, the driver of the car went and parked. Then just in reverse when leaving. Driver would get the car and then drive to where Mom was waiting. The permit was NOT used. All of our logic said to leave the handicap spot for someone driving who needed to also use mobility aids.
1st story: I used to have handicapped licensed plates on my car for when I drove my disabled mother around but I NEVER parked in them when she wasn't with me But this karen wanting to park in a disabled parking spot when she didn't have a disability. Assaulting him for parking there in "her spot" went too far 2nd story: The "old boys network" should have been retired a LONG time ago Also, NEVER say "you can be replaced" if you can't be 3rd story: Never put down someone for their job 4th story: NEVER piss off your ex 5th story: Don't look down on homeless people, You could easily be one yourself one day 6th story: This woman is a REAL piece of work
The only times I've ever used mom's permit without her was the VA's valet parking, but then I was picking her up after they replaced her knee as I would otherwise not be at the VA alone. Nobody cared on that one since the permit holder was going to be in the vehicle when valet returned it. Made things much easier for her.
If that woman has a degree, she must have bought it online. Everyone knows that the way someone learns is from their mistakes, meaning that you have to see the good and bad of everything you do.
The lady was undoubtedly a b**** but the person who posted the story actually ticked me off as much. I'm disabled and have had to use the parking spots myself but unfortunately sometimes they're taken by people that aren't disabled, which forces me to walk farther. I can walk but due to a spinal cord injury and partial paralysis in my legs, only for short distances. You can't be gifted a disabled parking placard. Using one fraudulently is actually a crime where I come from and comes with a hefty ($200) fine. She was a b but the poster was an entitled douche.
Both people in the first story are wrong. Op for using the placard ilegaly and the nut for doing the same and more so for assault. The only way that nut will learn her lesson is to be convicted of assault and getting ticketed and towed for ilegaly parking in a disabled spot. I have a disability and I have the disabled parking placard and plates and have to Carry a disabled I d to use them. It has to be renewed every three years. Op should not be using that placard and could have gotten a ticket. The placard should have been returned to the d m v if it's not being used anymore.
Actually, you CAN use someone else's Handicap permit, if you are transporting them OR helping them in some way on their behalf. But yeah, just using it for your personal benefit is strictly forbidden.
That story with the campstove. Hard to comment when you don't know where or when this happened. There are some places that those stoves are NOT allowed during 'fire season'. So OP could have been breaking the law, or maybe not.
Handicap parking placards should have the picture on the placard card of the person it was issued to. I see abuse of these placards ALL the time as they are being used by non handicapped people...for their parking convenience. It really irks me OP thinks he was "gifted" the placard from Grandma...so its therefore ok to use it. I agree with others who commented OP and Karen both should have been given citations.
Story #1 Op shouldn’t of been parked there unless her grandmother was in the car with her End of story Karen should get the bylaw enforcement called on her the next time she parks in a space without being disabled & forced to pay the fine
I the 1st story both are wrong as someone with a disability placard no one but the person who it is issued to can use it. If her grandmother was in the car yes she can use it but not with out her grandmother there just because it is easier for her. But the other person not only said she doesn’t have one but doesn’t need one is wrong too
How is the woman any better? Demanding he move his properly tagged but illegally parked car so she could park illegally instead? 😂😂 Also, she committed assault and admitted to routinely stealing the spot!
Int he first I am not sure which is the more Karenesque person, the one illegally using a placard or the one who has no placard and claims the disabled parking spot because "it is her pot".
It's illegal to give somone your blue badge. I don't know in other countries but here you will be fined £1000 for giving it to somone else. The holder of the blue badge needs to be present otherwise it is not allowed to use it. I know the Karen had some loose screw but still what OP did was actually illegal
Story 1 agree everyone is a jerk. OP is lucky they didn't investigate and revoke the placard for mis-use Last story lets be honestly psychologists DO NOT know everything or know what will or won't someone. Its an evolving field and I'd like to believe most in the field do their best but not everyone reacts the same to the same situations
Story 1: disabled parking. I don’t know where this occurred but in the United States you would both be wrong. The only way you can legally use your grandmother’s disabled parking permit is to be providing her transportation. The Karen was over the top arrogant, entitled and ignorant, but this time you were also clearly in the wrong.
As a petson who needs the dis abled plaxkard and needs the diabled spots ecause I am dis abled due to MS, i am NOT to impressed by your atory and misusing disabled spots and poaciards.
PLEASE. CUT THE ABBREVIATION CRAP AND STOP BRING SO LAZY ETHER SAY THE WHOLE WORD OR DONT POST THE STORY ITS. THE HIGH OF LAZINESS TO ABBREVIATE WORDS LIKE YOTY ARE DOING.
Unless the placard is for you you can not use it. It is for the person issued to. You can not "Inherit" a placard. Almost as entitled as the crazy woman. You were BOTH wrong
Disabled placards are ONLY for the disabled person, not for the car if said disabled person is not present.
Totally and I mean TOTALLY unacceptable. What a jerk.
Story 1: Everyone is the jerk. OP for using someone else's disability parking pass. Karen for parking there every week without a pass.
I agree, Also the government could recall the placard from her grandmother. Many people abuse disabled parking.
Agree
First story: You're just as bad as the karen.
the police should have taken the placard away cause op is also not entitled to park the car in a disabled spot
For first story - the KAREN was not in the right...but neither were you. You can use the placard IF your gm is in the car. But if you aren't disabled, you are not permitted to use the placard, even if your grandmother's "gifted" it to you.
I no longer drive for multiple reasons, including for the safety of myself and anyone else in the vicinity. And I don't necessarily LOOK disabled - although that's changed somewhat in the past year . (cancer - survivor)
When you get a handicap placard it comes with a registration card with your name on it. So OP couldn't use it legally.
Not his card. Unlawful!

How dare some of these people insult or attack anyone who is disabled or attack any Military Veterans
In general, yes, but OP is NOT in that category.
1st story: I used to have handicapped licensed plates on my car for when I drove my disabled mother around but I NEVER parked in them when she wasn't with me
But this karen wanting to park in a disabled parking spot when she didn't have a disability.
Assaulting him for parking there in "her spot" went too far
2nd story: The "old boys network" should have been retired a LONG time ago
Also, NEVER say "you can be replaced" if you can't be
3rd story: Never put down someone for their job
4th story: NEVER piss off your ex
5th story: Don't look down on homeless people, You could easily be one yourself one day
6th story: This woman is a REAL piece of work
You CANNOT use that. That's illegal.The Karen is right that they can't park there, but wrong that she can.
The only times I've ever used mom's permit without her was the VA's valet parking, but then I was picking her up after they replaced her knee as I would otherwise not be at the VA alone. Nobody cared on that one since the permit holder was going to be in the vehicle when valet returned it. Made things much easier for her.
First story got gifted a disabled placard my arse.
If that woman has a degree, she must have bought it online. Everyone knows that the way someone learns is from their mistakes, meaning that you have to see the good and bad of everything you do.
Having a disabled placard does not make it legal to use it. It has to be in your name.
The mother has a degree in being a psychotic helicopter parent.
Yeah, next story about that kid will probably be about a custody battle after his parents divorce...
The lady was undoubtedly a b**** but the person who posted the story actually ticked me off as much. I'm disabled and have had to use the parking spots myself but unfortunately sometimes they're taken by people that aren't disabled, which forces me to walk farther.

You cannot gift a disabled parking placard.
Story 1. Op should also be considered a karen for using a diabled spot when not disabled.
Both people in the first story are wrong. Op for using the placard ilegaly and the nut for doing the same and more so for assault. The only way that nut will learn her lesson is to be convicted of assault and getting ticketed and towed for ilegaly parking in a disabled spot. I have a disability and I have the disabled parking placard and plates and have to Carry a disabled I d to use them. It has to be renewed every three years.

Story #1
Op shouldn’t of been parked there unless her grandmother was in the car with her
End of story
Karen should get the bylaw enforcement called on her the next time she parks in a space without being disabled & forced to pay the fine
I the 1st story both are wrong as someone with a disability placard no one but the person who it is issued to can use it. If her grandmother was in the car yes she can use it but not with out her grandmother there just because it is easier for her. But the other person not only said she doesn’t have one but doesn’t need one is wrong too
Using a placard that is not yours or disabled person not in vehicle is a minimum $250.00 fine
Op is the Karen in the first story
How is the woman any better? Demanding he move his properly tagged but illegally parked car so she could park illegally instead? 😂😂 Also, she committed assault and admitted to routinely stealing the spot!
Int he first I am not sure which is the more Karenesque person, the one illegally using a placard or the one who has no placard and claims the disabled parking spot because "it is her pot".
First story, the person was in the wrong not just Karen
You should not be using the card. It comes with a registration card that should have your name on it
It's illegal to give somone your blue badge. I don't know in other countries but here you will be fined £1000 for giving it to somone else.
The holder of the blue badge needs to be present otherwise it is not allowed to use it.
I know the Karen had some loose screw but still what OP did was actually illegal
I have malodorous halitosis.
I know what that means but it still sounds like a Harry Potter spell 😂😂😂
Story 1 agree everyone is a jerk. OP is lucky they didn't investigate and revoke the placard for mis-use
Last story lets be honestly psychologists DO NOT know everything or know what will or won't someone. Its an evolving field and I'd like to believe most in the field do their best but not everyone reacts the same to the same situations
Story 1: disabled parking. I don’t know where this occurred but in the United States you would both be wrong. The only way you can legally use your grandmother’s disabled parking permit is to be providing her transportation. The Karen was over the top arrogant, entitled and ignorant, but this time you were also clearly in the wrong.
Why give her an answer on the 1st story
As a petson who needs the dis abled plaxkard and needs the diabled spots ecause I am dis abled due to MS, i am NOT to impressed by your atory and misusing disabled spots and poaciards.
