An update on the West Hollywood parking ticket situation: We were contacted by the West Hollywood Parking Services Manager to tell us that bc of our video, they’ve realized that their front-in parking requirement causes “unintentional repercussions.” They are officially removing the front-in requirement for all public lots in West Hollywood!
I completely support if you and Hannah choose to take this to court because the problem with not enough accessible parking,not even just Vans but for people in “normal” cars, is chronic in this entire country.
@Joyce Dominguez it's because the law doesn't make sense. In order for Shane to get out of the car they would have to park in the middle of the road or somewhere which is more of a problem than allowing a car to back into a spot.
@@kerry2921I’m not sure what your current life experience is, but I encourage you to step back from your wrath and annoyance and see this story for what it is. A prime example of how the world needs to improve as it pertains to accessibility and how a local parking lot is exploiting a disabled person for parking ticket fees when they had no choice.
My wife just googled California ADA rules. Clearly this may violate ADA requirements for the width of the parking space. Media press would love something like this!
Not only parking space width, but the prohibition on backing into the space. Clearly, the "makers of the parking rules" missed important steps in the thought process regarding not all handicap equipped vehicles are set up in the same manner.
Take it to the courts! Good work guys. Using your social media platform to advocate is very reasonable and I would love another installment. Go social justice! ❤
Sad to hear there was no available disability parking at the restaurant. Would it have been safe for Shane to exit the van and wait for you to park as the sign stated? It would have saved you the $60.00 and the anger. When Cloe has diaherra try giving her some pumpkin it wont hurt her at all. I know people who do this and it works well. Maybe she just had a stomach virus. Big hugs! Hope you have a great week! ❤
C'mon, you want reasonable laws? Then they couldn't make hefty profit$ on ticket quota$ and other $en$ele$$ "infraction$"! This just asinine, biased, and unfair, what happened to the ADA act??? I sure hope you can get some legal aide and pursue it, on principle if nothing else!
@@hollyastren7236 that is a ridiculous suggestion. They have mini kit issues! Why should they do a big song and dance for him to be able to get out of his car?
I used to work in an outpatient surgery department. Lots of our patients are handicapped and some have to be delivered by ambulance to see their doctors. Looking out the window one day I was amazed to see that a parking officer was putting a TICKET on the ambulance which had just taken a patient into the building. The back doors of the ambulance were still open so it was oblivious that the two attendants would be back as soon as possible!! I could not believe what I was seeing. No idea how this turned out - I hope that officer can sleep at night !!!!!
As someone with Ehlers Danlos, arthritis, and a multitude of other health concerns that are debilitating, I am furious for y'all! I find myself needing more support to do every day things, and to hear about this problem that y'all had just lights a fire under me. I hope it works out for y'all. I will gladly sign a petition to change that law❤
I’m honestly surprised that in CA the ticket wasn’t $600! $60 seems cheap! What a crock! I hope you don’t let it go and continue to take it to the top! Love you guys!
So excited to hear the update on the parking. you guys are absolutely the best storytellers you can make a terrible week very entertaining for the rest of us. Thanks for keeping it real.
See if you can find a reporter to pick up the story about the parking issue. Call more than one...I'm a reporter and I'd take the story if I worked in that area!
I got a ticket in Whittier for backing in a space in a city parking lot. The car that had parked near the disabled spot had parked on to the portion of the crosshatch marks that I needed (wheelchair user) for my exit from my vehicle. I decided to back in for the extra space. When I got back I had a parking ticket. I fought the ticket and won.
I love you guys and all of your world that you share; Chloe and both of your sets of parents, etc.! I discovered you two a few weeks ago and immediately went to the BOTTOM of your web page and started off at the oldest, 4 year videos and worked my way upward. Things just HAVE to be in chronological order for me (same with book series :-). Now I am addicted to your videos and love your Junkyard Mayhem podcast as well. All I can say is that it's a fine job you have done now; I am old and can not get new vids/podcasts at the speed I was reading them at ... I am having trouble feeding my Squirmy and Grubs addiction, sigh :-( Guess I will have to go do something practical like house work … Old lady fan here xoxox P. S. I love what you stand for and your trying to make the general population aware of the wrong thinking and lack of what is needed and should be available just because it is RIGHT! Your parking story is true and just the tip of the iceberg … go sic 'em Shane & Hannah!!
I came home with my son, parked in a loading zone, which is exactly right in front of my house (I am in a city, parking is an absolute BEAR here) and took him into the house only to find out he had an "accident", which need a major clothing change and shower clean up (we're talking several boxes of wipes had I gone that route). I got him dressed and settled in, went out to move the van (yes, I had a handicapped parking sign displayed in the front windshield) only to find a parking ticket. Simple parking tickets are, starting at $45.00, which is what mine was. I was so angry!! I immediately went to my neighbors house, asked them to watch my son, grabbed the ticket and drove to the closest police department downtown. I went in, asked for the sergeant on duty and showed him the ticket, explained the situation, and asked him what he'd do? So I should let my son stay soiled, allow his skin to breakdown and possibly spread all this mess everywhere in the house. WTF??? Loading and unloading for a typical person, compared to a person with all my son's needs, are not the same. The officer asked for the ticket, said he'd take care of it and he'd talk to the officer who wrote the ticket. Like he literally gave me 10 minutes to unload my son, get him inside, unload him, get him settled and them back out. Like the soonest this could take is 20 minutes. It's not like the handicapped parking wasn't clearly displayed and he could use reasonable judgement, but he chose not to. Sometimes it's worth taking it on because somethings, sometimes just need to change.
I use a power chair in NYC. My husband and I run into stuff like this pretty often. Next time, Hannah, back in, let Shane out. Make sure he’s out of the way, then turn the van around so it’s headed in. That said, we would fight the ticket, too.😊
Ooooooooo take it to court! This HAS to be in your favor! I mean, come on, what a ridiculous denial. They didn’t even give you what they asked for ie a video call. That’s already one step in your favor, why ask that if you’re not even going to do it?!!
What if you’re parking with a young child in a wheelchair that cannot safely be left alone in a busy parking lot? What if it’s pouring rain? What if the lot is not conducive to this type of maneuvering? Your “simple” solution is just simply ignoring the true problems that made us so annoyed.
We just had the same thing happen with our dog. He ended up having a blockage in two places! It was due to him eating some sand at the beach. He’s totally fine now. But I can completely relate to how scary and stressful that whole ordeal is!! Glad your pup is ok!
One time my dog started having symptoms like this, and they found a mass in his abdomen. It turned out he ate a shirt! He had surgery, made a full recovery, and lived many more happy years. But I have no idea what possessed my Labrador to one day eat a whole shirt. ❤ Glad Chloe is doing better!
My french bulldog ate a pair of nail clippers. I was astounded! When the vrt removed them so was he. We were always so careful to crate when not home and never leave objects out. Somehow he'd gotten a pair of fingernail clippers and swallowed them whole! Survived the surgery and lived another 11 years!
@@liznichols4916 My brother's wife owned a pedigree dog she was determined to show. The dog ate her son's sock. Lodged in and block the intestines. Major, expensive surgery to remove it. Not too long afterward, he ate another sock, same surgery, same cost. While the dog was in surgery, he told her the next sock, the dog gets put down cuz he will not shell out another 4 - 5 thousand on that dog. Once fully recovered, he was rehomed. The dog, not my brother. 😄
Hi Shane and Hannah, I am so sorry to hear about Chole's ordeal, poor pup. This happened to my golden retriever once and the vet recommended that I give him spoonfuls of canned pumpkin in his meals. It worked really well and he loved the taste of it. It is easy on the stomach but at the same time gives some fiber. You might want to ask your vet about it and see he thinks it will help in Chole's case. I am sorry about your middle of the night problem with your neighbors tv system! Once when my husband and I were first married we had an apartment on he second floor of an old Spanish style duplex in Los Angeles. The back door faced the garage and a space for us to park our cars. Next door was a dentist office. the apartment had steep rickety steps that came up to our kitchen back door. Our bedroom window where we slept was just to the side. We woke up at 2 am. hearing loud raucous laughter and voices and it turned out to be two men who had climbed up the steps and were having a picnic right at the top of the stairs They were eating and drinking beer and having a grand old time. I opened my window just a crack and asked them if they were having a nice meal and would they mind keeping it down a little so we could sleep. "Sure lady, no problem" they slurred. They took their time and after they finished their meal, they just left, leaving their beer cans and trash in a bag for me to throw away. Was the weirdest thing. To this day I don't know why they thought it was just okay for them to just park themselves there. I am glad we didn't have to call the police. Los Angelas can be a strange place sometimes. :)
You guys are a hoot. So sorry all that happened but you’v e made many of us happy to hear your recounting. And thanks for helping me be more appreciative of how my weeks went
Yes, it is very necessary to fight that ticket and make us aware. Also I'm glad that Chole is feeling better , what a scare . And finally I wish you peaceful non scary sleep tonight
I have listened to and loved every one of your podcasts so far. The synchronized "oh man..." at the end of this was my favorite part of all of them combined. 😂❤ Love you guys so much! Next week will be much better. 💕
Wow! First off, I am so glad that Chloe recovered and is okay, but just wow. All those experiences, if they were in a movie, a person would roll their eyes, shake their heads, and say NO WAY could all this happen. As for the ticket, I'm with you! That's beyond ridiculous.
Oh man I feel SO BAD for you guy’s. What a horrible week. Isn’t that life though? You’re Definitely not alone. Life Sucks sometimes!!!! But the sun does come out, and things turn around. Love and hugs and here’s to Better days ahead ❤️
Saw your update. Having been “chauffeur” for my mother-in-law for many years, parking in handicap spaces, just needing enough room to get her out with her walker was bad enough! Not sure if you have are a from two plate state or not, but many lots have the “front end” parking rule because only rear license plates are required and are easily visible by security patrolling the lot. (I was security for a brief time). States requiring a single rear plate: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia States allowing a single rear plate for certain vehicles-details below: Idaho, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wyoming States requiring two plates: Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, Missouri, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, Washington D.C.
I’m sorry to hear about the ticket. I just hate how society just doesn’t consider people with disabilities. People need to be more understanding and considerate. Wow that angers me. You guys are awesome though. Also I hope your dog feels better soon ❤️Love your channel.
My dog ate a container, small pocket, of chocolate, covered pretzels at Christmas time, I didn’t know what to do, I finally, after looking at the Internet, took him to University of Pennsylvania, veterinarian hospital in my area, excellent staff, educated people, they took him in Gave him something to make him throw it up and within three hours. He was back with me. They said it could’ve been deadly because dogs can’t digest chocolate properly, sometimes you just got to do what you can to help your family and he is our family. Love you show, love your style Shane is a boss, and Hannah you’re cute. Blessings up from Philadelphia. Peace, love and unity in your community.
Saw this story a few years ago. A lady and her daughter are in L.A from San Diego for her daughter's doctor appointment, they have handicapped placard for her daughter and park in handicapped parking. They leave and drop off the daughter wherever they are staying because mom has a doctor's appointment. Mom parks on the street, non-handicapped parking. Police make her give up her handicapped placard because she kept it hanging in the windshield, apparently you're supposed to take it down when not using it, mom just forget. She wasn't even in handicapped parking, ridiculous.
It says right one the placard to remove it before moving the vehicle. All of the paperwork says the same thing. Unless you have tags, you need to remove the placard.
@@randalbabin9555 problem is in many cities you can park in metered zones without paying the meter if you have/hang your handicapped placard on your mirror...so even though, in your example, they weren't using an accessible parking spot - the parking enforcement could have seen the violation as a way to avoid feeding a meter = less revenue for the city. Also it has always been illegal to drive with your handicapped placard hanging from the mirror - which makes since...obstructs your view while driving.
Pumpkin is good for dogs with tummy issues. I’ve had multiple vets recommend it to me for my dogs over the years. The key is to make sure to use canned pumpkin, not canned pumpkin pie mix. The pumpkin pie mix has spices added to it that dogs don’t need, especially when not feeling well. I pray everything is back to normal, including Chloe. 💕🙏😊☀️🐾
so glad that you are all doing OK now...honestly I'd expect to see you both looking sleep deprived but no - you look fabulous and are able to laugh. especially ecstatic that your 4 legged fur family member is well!😊
Duh - didn't notice your update - just watched your video - and left the comment below . However, on reading your update - you really do make a difference on many levels - congratulations on this pretty impressive victory!
Very happy change happened here, definitely needed. Had I been in this situation *sigh* I think I would have backed in. Gotten Shane off board, then hopped back in to repark quickly head in (...it is bs I know) while Shane waited.
Ok just finishing your video and wow!! I believe LA is haunted! Not just a house here and there either. The whole damn city! That's where my mind was going while you told this story. I was actually sitting on the edge of my seat. You 2 are the best storytellers ever!! I feel like you would've been perfect for your own show back in the day of radio. Before television. Like the early Walton years where the family would gather and stare at the radio while listening to their once a week program. Bwaaaahaha
Wow what a week! You guys deserve some good rest and relaxation after all of that!😂 So glad Chloe is okay! This happend to my dog this past year as well actually! Turns out it was plants of sorts that had tangled up into a ball and was causing a partial obstruction. The Xray couldn't tell what it was and we knew she was very unlikely to eat anything non-edible so we assumed it was plants as she loves to chew on long weeds/these specific plants coming out of our bushes. Long story short we waited to see if she would pass it before doing surgery and thankfully she did! It was terrifying though. Luckily she wasn't leaking but she was wretching trying to throw up for hours with no luck until we realized it wasn't going to come out that way and the vet gave her meds. It was so heartbreaking. So glad both our pups ended up okay and not needing surgery! If Chloe is a plant chewer, don't let her eat anything long that could get tangled up in her tummy! We have to purposely pull our dog away from the bushes now because she wants to eat them SO bad every time we go out!🤦♀️ We have to remind her that her previous plant eating excursions caused us and her alot of stress and almost culminated in exploratory surgery! (She doesn't seem to remember the incident or care) but we still have to keep her away from the bushes to be safe! This epsiode was serious junkyard mayhem and had me laughing pretty hard I must admit, but what else can you do looking back knowing all is well, right? Here's to hoping your next week is calm and quiet and uneventful!😝❤
Hi guys! Loved this video! So glad you got the parking sorted out in the end! It’s amazing what a couple of people can achieve when they have a platform, intelligence and fairness on their side. Bravo! Chloe, poor girl! So glad she’s ok now. When our dogs get a “runny-tummy” 😉 we give them plane Boliden rice. This is Also good for human tum’s too! Loved this chatty video, you both tell such good stories! 🤗
garages prohibit back-in parking because the rear overhang of a car - from the back wheel to the back bumper - is usually longer than the overhang at the front. If you back in and use a curb to “feel” the space, your rear bumper may hit a wall.
I would totally take it to court too. I am a shy person who doesn't like conflict but when it comes to thinks like that I will turn into Mrs. legally blonde and fight it. Lol
That's amazing! Congrats on this positive outcome! Go team. I was so outraged when I watched this...Glad to see justice served! My blood pressure and ❤ rate have returned to normal! 😊
Glad Chole isn't leaking💩 anymore. When you two started talking about it being graphic. I'm a CNA and my friends tell me to stop being so graphic🤣when I share something. You two did have me chuckling😂
Oh your poor puppy! I'm so glad she's ok. Part of being parents of a fur baby. Wait until you have children. You'll be great though. The good times far make up for these other times... In Vermont we rarely have parking problems. Then again we really have no traffic problems either. Before anyone thinks I'm bragging, keep in mind there aren't that many choices of places to go. We're pretty rural. And that is so beautiful if you like country and small towns/cities. We have everything big cities have, on a much smaller scale. Burlington is our biggest city with just about anything you might want to do. But it's still pretty small on a national scale. You two should come visit us up here sometime! Fall is great. Weather good. Foliage is unbelievable. And local fairs are a real treat.
Hannah is such an INFP 😂 our morals and emotions are inextricably linked, and nothing will stop us from getting justice, which is why we tend to be revolutionists and leaders.
Hi u2... I am a disabled person with a parking permit badge. I parked in a designated area but on a fairly narrow one way street and went to the optician. When I returned to my car, it had been bounced off the road onto the pavement (sidewalk) AND I had TICKET !! A caring pedestrian waited for me to return to tell me a lorry had come down the road (where he shouldn't have been).bounced my car off the road onto the pavement driven off, and a traffic warden had come along and put a ticket on my car because it was parked on the pavement. DUH.... I was rather ( pis...d) fed up and also had to pay the fine. What in the world I submit - can the world get any crazier. Love u2. Janice 👵 🇬🇧 xxx Poor Chloe 😢
@V Yes, easier said than done when you are on your own, feeling vulnerable and not a strong, assertive person. I was a wuss, I know, but I am just not well enough to cope with the hassle. Thanks for your comment, though. I do get it !
Guys, I have to hand it to you; you did extremely well to make crap situations seem so entertaining!!! On a SERIOUS note, though; while I'm Irish & don't really know much about US law & how it differs from one State to another; as a person who has a physical disability, himself, I REALLY feel that you should fight the parking ticket because, from the way you explain it, there was no other choice, except for you to park where you did & in the way you did (contrary to a sign) Yours sounds like a case the Judge Judy would LOVE to get stuck into & I believe it's one that she would throw out of court!!! All the best for the future & I look forward to the next instalment of Junkyard Mayhem!! 👍🙂🇮🇪❤️🇺🇲
I just ran into a very similar situation with my husband who is wheelchair-bound at a hotel in Atlanta. A 10 story Hotel had five handicap parking spaces and they were all a ways away from the building. So we had to drop my husband off leave him unattended so I can go park the car and hike back to the hotel. The lack of accessibility in large cities especially is ridiculous. Who do we start writing letters to?
I can totally relate to your parking issues. Our accessible van also only opens my ramp to one side (passenger side) so 90% of the time it seems like the handicapped accessible space we find to park in is the "wrong direction"...problem is my wife is not good at backing in to parking spots so what we have to do is like a fire drill...we put our hazard lights on and drop the ramp and I unload super fast and then my wife pulls in...we have to temporarily block the road/parking lot but it is how we get around not violating dumb parking rules (but I'm sure we are violating other rules by temporarily blocking the right of way)...also, in regards to your meeting with your agents - I've been in contact with your agents (at least via email) about possibly getting you guys up here to Northern California to give a talk where I work...not sure it's gonna happen but efforts are/were being made.
Since I knew there would be possible jail involved in a story, I thought I’d learn that Hannah caused a scene at the West Hollywood parking office and got arrested for it 🤣
Hello Shane & Hannah, I have the same issues with accessible parking. Not the no parking front facing out though. I also have an accessible van where I'm on the passenger side and the ramp is also on the passenger side. My mother parks in whatever direction works best for us. Forward facing if the blue hatch design (yellow for me) is on the passenger side. Or back into a parking spot if I have to be on the left. I've never come across the sign you mentioned. Do you ever use what I call a "Non-Accessible, Accessible Parking Spot"? Those spots are regular size but are on the end of a row. So that no one can park beside our van. Sometimes the walk it a bit longer but it takes less time than waiting for an available accessible spot. My mother and I tend to use the end of a row spots in good weather. Sometimes, those spots are across from the Accessible spot. So the distance isn't difficult or unsafe. I have LAMA2-Congentital Muscular Dystrophy and also use a motorize wheelchair. I truly enjoy your vlogging. You have a great sense of humour Shane. All the best to you both during your IVF journey and moving forward.💞
Bless Chloe. So good to hear she’s doing better. I know that’s your guys baby. Sorry to hear about the ridiculous $60.00 ticket. Sad way to make money for the city. You guys definitely should fight for what is right. You guys will be so glad to be HOME SWEET HOME soon. Many sweet blessings always.
Hannah, my husband and I want to start a podcast, but I am having such a hard time with anxiety whenever we record. I know you've talked about your anxiety before, so how did you get over any anxiety when recording and posting videos of you speaking?
Oh wow, I couldn’t sleep and the podcast is already up! Now I can hang out with you guys. I’ve been playing with my cat, and cuddling a couple of puppies but not sleeping. 👍👎
31:00 similar situation happened to me, I had just gotten the Alexa device, and it was in the living room and somehow or another it got turned on in the middle of the night and was playing a podcast and I also thought someone was in my house. It could be a little scary that’s for sure but then funny when you discover it. Thanks for your stories and inspiration
Once Shane was out of the vehicle, you could’ve spun the vehicle around taking five extra minutes and alleviating a $60 ticket. When coming back, you would need to take another five minutes to spin the vehicle around giving Shane access to the vehicle.
We actually do that park and spin often. I have a power wheelchair and need the stripes on the passenger side. I hate people who use the stripes area as a parking space. I have a small SUV so less issue with vehicle size. But even n our state, mid Atlantic area, the fine is a min of $300. Or up. But the area of our county seat, City/ County bldg has one handicapped parking space. Argh. A lot of things require in person applications, document requests, homestead exemptions, dog taxes, all kinds of craziness. Ourrr. Best success is Walmart parking lot earlier in the morning. Like, 7AM.
We often take my son out of our car somewhere near where we are going that has space to open the door wide and carry him out to his wheelchair. Then one of us moves the car to the disabled parking spot (most of them don’t offer us enough space to get our son out).
Thanks for this story! It makes me feel less alone, or wondering if someone gave me the evil eye! Glad you both (and Chloe) came through it all right. Good luck in getting the parking issue resolved. (My miserable week ended OK. :)
Oh my goodness! Please follow up on the ticket … I have had to do the same with my Dad, Gary…yikes! What a festive week but glad Khloe is feeling better … get some rest and thank you for once again making me smile 😊~Angela
Hi guys, I live in San Diego now, but lived in L.A. a good part of my life. The normal traffic here is horrendous. There is never parking, and if there is, you pay a pretty penny to park there. This is just normal parking. I can't imagine parking for the disabled! So sorry you had to go through this, but I'm certainly not surprised. On another note, I absolutely love watching your videos at home. Is there a video that shows your newest home exterior/interior. I see glimpses of it in the background and it is so beautiful! Would love to see the whole house decor.
As a SoCal resident who has paid many $72 dollar tickets for my bumper being 2 inches in the red zone and permit signs being put up while my car was parked in an area that does not have enough spaces for the amount of people who live there, I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION FULLY, welcome, parking laws suck here
I would absolutely challenge it in court. I’m sure they know it’s BS and that’s why they denied your appeal, without contacting you for further information.
Not to mention, backing into spots is safer (when you leave the spot you're not backing up into potential traffic). My college didn't allow people to back into spots. Their reason was because our license plates are our parking passes and they scan them when we're parked. And a lot of people (NC for example) only need to have license plates on the back of their car so it wouldn't be visible if people backed into spots.
Plainly this is discrimination. If a person who is able to drive, but only has a lift on the passenger side, they would have to park the same way. It's not like they could get back in and turn the vehicle around to face forward. Like you both stated it didn't make a difference which way the vehicle was facing. I would find out who oversees the parking enforcement. There is always a higher entity. In other words go over their heads. And, faced with a discrimination complaint they may decide that rule/law is foolish in this instance.
I so get being angry about the parking. I was at the state fair one year and got on their trolley and was charged for myself and also for my wheelchair. I was so upset! It was ridiculous. Im so happy your furbaby is good! I absolutely love your channel!!
Receiving the ticket was irritating but having the powers that be reject your explanation is ridiculous! Accessibility is so limited that the sign should be removed! Who cares if you Park head first or back in? It’s the ability to use the ramp that matters most in that situation! I’d fight it, wondering how many others have been ticketed for the same thing!
That's what I miss about my Saturn 3-door coupe, I use a manual chair, far more compact than a motorized chair, so, I could wrestle the chair out in tight spaces. However, now that I drive a Honda Element with a ramp mod, if someone parks over the hatch marked unloading area, even if I can get the ramp down, I don't have the room to exit/re-enter my vehicle.
Terrible week but have to admit you gave me a few giggles! Yes enjoyed your “recounting” of it! Yes fight that ticket and soooo glad Chloe is ok! As far as that “wonky” “kookie” horrible life disruption, I think I would be plotting my revenge which Of course I never actually act out.
An update on the West Hollywood parking ticket situation: We were contacted by the West Hollywood Parking Services Manager to tell us that bc of our video, they’ve realized that their front-in parking requirement causes “unintentional repercussions.” They are officially removing the front-in requirement for all public lots in West Hollywood!
👏 +applause+
Soo cool - congrats you guys
Are they refunding you?
Yay!! Congratulations!! You guys rock! 🎉😀
Yay!!!! Another win 🎉
I completely support if you and Hannah choose to take this to court because the problem with not enough accessible parking,not even just Vans but for people in “normal” cars, is chronic in this entire country.
I still don’t understand the reason that you couldn’t back in to a spot ?
The girl is entitled she's always crying about tickets, her last break down was about a ticket
@Joyce Dominguez it's because the law doesn't make sense. In order for Shane to get out of the car they would have to park in the middle of the road or somewhere which is more of a problem than allowing a car to back into a spot.
@@joycedominguez8997 She was hardly crying. She was voicing her understandable annoyance at a pointless law that should be challenged.
@@kerry2921I’m not sure what your current life experience is, but I encourage you to step back from your wrath and annoyance and see this story for what it is.

I used to work in an outpatient surgery department. Lots of our patients are handicapped and some have to be delivered by ambulance to see their doctors. Looking out the window one day I was amazed to see that a parking officer was putting a TICKET on the ambulance which had just taken a patient into the building. The back doors of the ambulance were still open so it was oblivious that the two attendants would be back as soon as possible!! I could not believe what I was seeing. No idea how this turned out - I hope that officer can sleep at night !!!!!
As someone with Ehlers Danlos, arthritis, and a multitude of other health concerns that are debilitating, I am furious for y'all! I find myself needing more support to do every day things, and to hear about this problem that y'all had just lights a fire under me. I hope it works out for y'all. I will gladly sign a petition to change that law❤
I’ll sign it too! I have EDS and POTS btw 😊
I've got Ehlers Danlos 🥺
I’m honestly surprised that in CA the ticket wasn’t $600! $60 seems cheap! What a crock! I hope you don’t let it go and continue to take it to the top! Love you guys!
So excited to hear the update on the parking. you guys are absolutely the best storytellers you can make a terrible week very entertaining for the rest of us. Thanks for keeping it real.
See if you can find a reporter to pick up the story about the parking issue. Call more than one...I'm a reporter and I'd take the story if I worked in that area!
This is a great idea! Get the news media involved!
I've seen when people tweet about something like this, reporters will often reply.
Maybe if they do get a reporter it will be on a day the neighbors tv system is being kookie again & it blasts throughout the neighborhood😅
Yes!!!!
There should be a tip line on their website.
I got a ticket in Whittier for backing in a space in a city parking lot. The car that had parked near the disabled spot had parked on to the portion of the crosshatch marks that I needed (wheelchair user) for my exit from my vehicle. I decided to back in for the extra space. When I got back I had a parking ticket. I fought the ticket and won.
I love that after all the mayhem you have had, you are both smiling and laughing!! 🥰
That sounds like a deliberate money grab for the parking authority. Can you imagine exploiting disabled people?? yuck Los Angeles
They obviously haven't heard of the ADA.
West Hollywood is Uber Uber liberal and has their own laws and system. It is NOT Los Angeles!!!!!
@@ChrisPage68 Ada does not allow you to break posted laws.
Parking is easy money for West Hollywood because people defy posted laws. Los Angeles is separate but has the same opportunity for income.
@@heatherjoslin8291 Don't excuse lousy business practices. We have unscrupulous parking companies in the UK too.
You two are so fun to watch on Junkyard Mayhem ! 😊
I love you guys and all of your world that you share; Chloe and both of your sets of parents, etc.! I discovered you two a few weeks ago and immediately went to the BOTTOM of your web page and started off at the oldest, 4 year videos and worked my way upward. Things just HAVE to be in chronological order for me (same with book series :-). Now I am addicted to your videos and love your Junkyard Mayhem podcast as well. All I can say is that it's a fine job you have done now; I am old and can not get new vids/podcasts at the speed I was reading them at ... I am having trouble feeding my Squirmy and Grubs addiction, sigh :-( Guess I will have to go do something practical like house work … Old lady fan here xoxox
P. S. I love what you stand for and your trying to make the general population aware of the wrong thinking and lack of what is needed and should be available just because it is RIGHT! Your parking story is true and just the tip of the iceberg … go sic 'em Shane & Hannah!!
Nice! I discovered them and did the same. They are a breath of fresh air in a crazy time to be alive❤
I came home with my son, parked in a loading zone, which is exactly right in front of my house (I am in a city, parking is an absolute BEAR here) and took him into the house only to find out he had an "accident", which need a major clothing change and shower clean up (we're talking several boxes of wipes had I gone that route). I got him dressed and settled in, went out to move the van (yes, I had a handicapped parking sign displayed in the front windshield) only to find a parking ticket. Simple parking tickets are, starting at $45.00, which is what mine was. I was so angry!! I immediately went to my neighbors house, asked them to watch my son, grabbed the ticket and drove to the closest police department downtown. I went in, asked for the sergeant on duty and showed him the ticket, explained the situation, and asked him what he'd do? So I should let my son stay soiled, allow his skin to breakdown and possibly spread all this mess everywhere in the house. WTF??? Loading and unloading for a typical person, compared to a person with all my son's needs, are not the same. The officer asked for the ticket, said he'd take care of it and he'd talk to the officer who wrote the ticket. Like he literally gave me 10 minutes to unload my son, get him inside, unload him, get him settled and them back out. Like the soonest this could take is 20 minutes. It's not like the handicapped parking wasn't clearly displayed and he could use reasonable judgement, but he chose not to. Sometimes it's worth taking it on because somethings, sometimes just need to change.
So glad Chloe is doing better!! I’ve been through this with my dogs and I know how scary it is! ❤️🐶❤️
At least, in Minnesota, if there are no accessible spots, you may park in at an angle across multiple 'normal' parking spots.
That’s a great law! They rarely have enough handicap accessible spaces!
That parking situation made me furious. Wtf?!? Please keep pursuing this. Absolutely ridiculous!!
I use a power chair in NYC. My husband and I run into stuff like this pretty often. Next time, Hannah, back in, let Shane out. Make sure he’s out of the way, then turn the van around so it’s headed in. That said, we would fight the ticket, too.😊
I thought of that, but that wouldn't work if the driver uses a wheelchair...so good on them for getting the law changed!
Oh my gosh 😵💫 what a Week so sorry for you guys and Chloe 😔 hope you all will be healthy and rested soon 🙏🏼 Love you Guy’s ❤️
Ooooooooo take it to court! This HAS to be in your favor! I mean, come on, what a ridiculous denial. They didn’t even give you what they asked for ie a video call. That’s already one step in your favor, why ask that if you’re not even going to do it?!!
Simple solution: Back in. Let Shane disembark. Then reposition the van, pull out and pull back in head on. Easy peasy!
What if you’re parking with a young child in a wheelchair that cannot safely be left alone in a busy parking lot? What if it’s pouring rain? What if the lot is not conducive to this type of maneuvering? Your “simple” solution is just simply ignoring the true problems that made us so annoyed.
Poor Chloe!! And poor you two!! Hope you get some well needed rest real soon!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a week!!!! So sorry for all the disasters. Surely next week will be better. God bless!
I absolutely love your channel! I just came across it a couple days ago, now watching all the vids!! You both definitely deserve more subscribers!!!
We just had the same thing happen with our dog. He ended up having a blockage in two places! It was due to him eating some sand at the beach. He’s totally fine now. But I can completely relate to how scary and stressful that whole ordeal is!! Glad your pup is ok!
One time my dog started having symptoms like this, and they found a mass in his abdomen. It turned out he ate a shirt! He had surgery, made a full recovery, and lived many more happy years. But I have no idea what possessed my Labrador to one day eat a whole shirt. ❤ Glad Chloe is doing better!
How the hell……🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
My french bulldog ate a pair of nail clippers. I was astounded! When the vrt removed them so was he. We were always so careful to crate when not home and never leave objects out. Somehow he'd gotten a pair of fingernail clippers and swallowed them whole! Survived the surgery and lived another 11 years!
My sisters dog ate a pair of socks. No idea why she had plenty of food......
@@liznichols4916 My brother's wife owned a pedigree dog she was determined to show. The dog ate her son's sock. Lodged in and block the intestines. Major, expensive surgery to remove it. Not too long afterward, he ate another sock, same surgery, same cost. While the dog was in surgery, he told her the next sock, the dog gets put down cuz he will not shell out another 4 - 5 thousand on that dog. Once fully recovered, he was rehomed. The dog, not my brother. 😄
Hi Shane and Hannah, I am so sorry to hear about Chole's ordeal, poor pup. This happened to my golden retriever once and the vet recommended that I give him spoonfuls of canned pumpkin in his meals. It worked really well and he loved the taste of it. It is easy on the stomach but at the same time gives some fiber. You might want to ask your vet about it and see he thinks it will help in Chole's case.
I am sorry about your middle of the night problem with your neighbors tv system! Once when my husband and I were first married we had an apartment on he second floor of an old Spanish style duplex in Los Angeles. The back door faced the garage and a space for us to park our cars. Next door was a dentist office. the apartment had steep rickety steps that came up to our kitchen back door. Our bedroom window where we slept was just to the side. We woke up at 2 am. hearing loud raucous laughter and voices and it turned out to be two men who had climbed up the steps and were having a picnic right at the top of the stairs They were eating and drinking beer and having a grand old time. I opened my window just a crack and asked them if they were having a nice meal and would they mind keeping it down a little so we could sleep. "Sure lady, no problem" they slurred. They took their time and after they finished their meal, they just left, leaving their beer cans and trash in a bag for me to throw away. Was the weirdest thing. To this day I don't know why they thought it was just okay for them to just park themselves there. I am glad we didn't have to call the police. Los Angelas can be a strange place sometimes. :)
I'm literally dead 😂 I'm so sorry you guys had a bad week but it made for primo content 😂
You guys are a hoot. So sorry all that happened but you’v e made many of us happy to hear your recounting. And thanks for helping me be more appreciative of how my weeks went
Yes, it is very necessary to fight that ticket and make us aware. Also I'm glad that Chole is feeling better , what a scare . And finally I wish you peaceful non scary sleep tonight
I have listened to and loved every one of your podcasts so far. The synchronized "oh man..." at the end of this was my favorite part of all of them combined. 😂❤ Love you guys so much! Next week will be much better. 💕
I both cringed and laughed all the way through this. Thanks!
Wow! First off, I am so glad that Chloe recovered and is okay, but just wow. All those experiences, if they were in a movie, a person would roll their eyes, shake their heads, and say NO WAY could all this happen. As for the ticket, I'm with you! That's beyond ridiculous.
Oh man I feel SO BAD for you guy’s. What a horrible week. Isn’t that life though? You’re Definitely not alone. Life Sucks sometimes!!!! But the sun does come out, and things turn around. Love and hugs and here’s to Better days ahead ❤️
Saw your update. Having been “chauffeur” for my mother-in-law for many years, parking in handicap spaces, just needing enough room to get her out with her walker was bad enough! Not sure if you have are a from two plate state or not, but many lots have the “front end” parking rule because only rear license plates are required and are easily visible by security patrolling the lot. (I was security for a brief time).
States requiring a single rear plate:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia
States allowing a single rear plate for certain vehicles-details below:
Idaho, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, Washington, Wyoming
States requiring two plates:
Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, Missouri, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, Washington D.C.
I’m sorry to hear about the ticket. I just hate how society just doesn’t consider people with disabilities. People need to be more understanding and considerate. Wow that angers me. You guys are awesome though. Also I hope your dog feels better soon ❤️Love your channel.
My dog ate a container, small pocket, of chocolate, covered pretzels at Christmas time, I didn’t know what to do, I finally, after looking at the Internet, took him to University of Pennsylvania, veterinarian hospital in my area, excellent staff, educated people, they took him in Gave him something to make him throw it up and within three hours. He was back with me. They said it could’ve been deadly because dogs can’t digest chocolate properly, sometimes you just got to do what you can to help your family and he is our family. Love you show, love your style Shane is a boss, and Hannah you’re cute. Blessings up from Philadelphia. Peace, love and unity in your community.
Saw this story a few years ago. A lady and her daughter are in L.A from San Diego for her daughter's doctor appointment, they have handicapped placard for her daughter and park in handicapped parking. They leave and drop off the daughter wherever they are staying because mom has a doctor's appointment. Mom parks on the street, non-handicapped parking. Police make her give up her handicapped placard because she kept it hanging in the windshield, apparently you're supposed to take it down when not using it, mom just forget. She wasn't even in handicapped parking, ridiculous.
Wow
It says right one the placard to remove it before moving the vehicle. All of the paperwork says the same thing. Unless you have tags, you need to remove the placard.
@@leadavis494 It's still a dumb rule just like not being able to back in to a spot. If you're not in a handicapped space what difference does it make.
@@randalbabin9555 problem is in many cities you can park in metered zones without paying the meter if you have/hang your handicapped placard on your mirror...so even though, in your example, they weren't using an accessible parking spot - the parking enforcement could have seen the violation as a way to avoid feeding a meter = less revenue for the city. Also it has always been illegal to drive with your handicapped placard hanging from the mirror - which makes since...obstructs your view while driving.
@@leadavis494ok, that’s the rule but have you never forgotten to do something? I feel it was an honest mistake
Pumpkin is good for dogs with tummy issues. I’ve had multiple vets recommend it to me for my dogs over the years. The key is to make sure to use canned pumpkin, not canned pumpkin pie mix. The pumpkin pie mix has spices added to it that dogs don’t need, especially when not feeling well. I pray everything is back to normal, including Chloe. 💕🙏😊☀️🐾
so glad that you are all doing OK now...honestly I'd expect to see you both looking sleep deprived but no - you look fabulous and are able to laugh. especially ecstatic that your 4 legged fur family member is well!😊
Duh - didn't notice your update - just watched your video - and left the comment below . However, on reading your update - you really do make a difference on many levels - congratulations on this pretty impressive victory!
My dog had almost the same thing a couple weeks ago!! So sorry for poor C.
And PLEASE take the parking lords to court. It could help so many people!
Very happy change happened here, definitely needed. Had I been in this situation *sigh* I think I would have backed in. Gotten Shane off board, then hopped back in to repark quickly head in (...it is bs I know) while Shane waited.
Ok just finishing your video and wow!! I believe LA is haunted! Not just a house here and there either. The whole damn city! That's where my mind was going while you told this story. I was actually sitting on the edge of my seat. You 2 are the best storytellers ever!! I feel like you would've been perfect for your own show back in the day of radio. Before television. Like the early Walton years where the family would gather and stare at the radio while listening to their once a week program. Bwaaaahaha
Wow what a week! You guys deserve some good rest and relaxation after all of that!😂 So glad Chloe is okay! This happend to my dog this past year as well actually! Turns out it was plants of sorts that had tangled up into a ball and was causing a partial obstruction. The Xray couldn't tell what it was and we knew she was very unlikely to eat anything non-edible so we assumed it was plants as she loves to chew on long weeds/these specific plants coming out of our bushes. Long story short we waited to see if she would pass it before doing surgery and thankfully she did! It was terrifying though. Luckily she wasn't leaking but she was wretching trying to throw up for hours with no luck until we realized it wasn't going to come out that way and the vet gave her meds. It was so heartbreaking. So glad both our pups ended up okay and not needing surgery! If Chloe is a plant chewer, don't let her eat anything long that could get tangled up in her tummy! We have to purposely pull our dog away from the bushes now because she wants to eat them SO bad every time we go out!🤦♀️ We have to remind her that her previous plant eating excursions caused us and her alot of stress and almost culminated in exploratory surgery! (She doesn't seem to remember the incident or care) but we still have to keep her away from the bushes to be safe! This epsiode was serious junkyard mayhem and had me laughing pretty hard I must admit, but what else can you do looking back knowing all is well, right? Here's to hoping your next week is calm and quiet and uneventful!😝❤
You two are adorable, even when recounting a 😊horrible, no good, very bad week.
Hi guys! Loved this video! So glad you got the parking sorted out in the end! It’s amazing what a couple of people can achieve when they have a platform, intelligence and fairness on their side. Bravo!
Chloe, poor girl! So glad she’s ok now. When our dogs get a “runny-tummy” 😉 we give them plane Boliden rice. This is Also good for human tum’s too!
Loved this chatty video, you both tell such good stories! 🤗
I live in California and I have never seen the no backing in on any handicapped spots I’ve parked at. That’s just crazy.
garages prohibit back-in parking because the rear overhang of a car - from the back wheel to the back bumper - is usually longer than the overhang at the front. If you back in and use a curb to “feel” the space, your rear bumper may hit a wall.
I would totally take it to court too. I am a shy person who doesn't like conflict but when it comes to thinks like that I will turn into Mrs. legally blonde and fight it. Lol
That's amazing! Congrats on this positive outcome! Go team. I was so outraged when I watched this...Glad to see justice served! My blood pressure and ❤ rate have returned to normal! 😊
You had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week 😢 I hope this week is much, much better ❤
Glad Chole isn't leaking💩 anymore. When you two started talking about it being graphic. I'm a CNA and my friends tell me to stop being so graphic🤣when I share something.
You two did have me chuckling😂
Oh definitely take your case to court. I can’t imagine that you would lose.❤️
Oh your poor puppy! I'm so glad she's ok. Part of being parents of a fur baby. Wait until you have children. You'll be great though. The good times far make up for these other times...
In Vermont we rarely have parking problems. Then again we really have no traffic problems either. Before anyone thinks I'm bragging, keep in mind there aren't that many choices of places to go.
We're pretty rural. And that is so beautiful if you like country and small towns/cities. We have everything big cities have, on a much smaller scale.
Burlington is our biggest city with just about anything you might want to do. But it's still pretty small on a national scale. You two should come visit us up here sometime! Fall is great. Weather good. Foliage is unbelievable. And local fairs are a real treat.
Often laws have lost all trace of humanity and can be utterly thickheaded.
Another funny story! You guys tell a story with a flare that totally cracks us up!!
Hannah is such an INFP 😂 our morals and emotions are inextricably linked, and nothing will stop us from getting justice, which is why we tend to be revolutionists and leaders.
Her saying “I’m not going to follow a law that doesn’t make sense to me” is SO ME and so infp lol
I'm also an INFP and hadn't heard of this link before but gosh it rings true!!
Hi u2...
I am a disabled person with a parking permit badge.
I parked in a designated area but on a fairly narrow one way street and went to the optician.
When I returned to my car, it had been bounced off the road onto the pavement (sidewalk) AND I had TICKET !!
A caring pedestrian waited for me to return to tell me a lorry had come down the road (where he shouldn't have been).bounced my car off the road onto the pavement driven off, and a traffic warden had come along and put a ticket on my car because it was parked on the pavement. DUH....
I was rather ( pis...d) fed up and also had to pay the fine.
What in the world
I submit - can the world get any crazier.
Love u2.
Janice 👵 🇬🇧 xxx
Poor Chloe 😢
@V Yes, easier said than done when you are on your own, feeling vulnerable and not a strong, assertive person. I was a wuss, I know, but I am just not well enough to cope with the hassle. Thanks for your comment, though. I do get it !
Wait until you add some kids to the mix. Lol life is getting you ready !!😂❤
Guys, I have to hand it to you; you did extremely well to make crap situations seem so entertaining!!! On a SERIOUS note, though; while I'm Irish & don't really know much about US law & how it differs from one State to another; as a person who has a physical disability, himself, I REALLY feel that you should fight the parking ticket because, from the way you explain it, there was no other choice, except for you to park where you did & in the way you did (contrary to a sign) Yours sounds like a case the Judge Judy would LOVE to get stuck into & I believe it's one that she would throw out of court!!! All the best for the future & I look forward to the next instalment of Junkyard Mayhem!! 👍🙂🇮🇪❤️🇺🇲
What a week! So glad you can look back and laugh. The parking issue is so awful. I hope somehow it is resolved.
Pumpkin is the key to fixing stomach issues in pups. Really works.
I just ran into a very similar situation with my husband who is wheelchair-bound at a hotel in Atlanta. A 10 story Hotel had five handicap parking spaces and they were all a ways away from the building. So we had to drop my husband off leave him unattended so I can go park the car and hike back to the hotel. The lack of accessibility in large cities especially is ridiculous. Who do we start writing letters to?
I can totally relate to your parking issues. Our accessible van also only opens my ramp to one side (passenger side) so 90% of the time it seems like the handicapped accessible space we find to park in is the "wrong direction"...problem is my wife is not good at backing in to parking spots so what we have to do is like a fire drill...we put our hazard lights on and drop the ramp and I unload super fast and then my wife pulls in...we have to temporarily block the road/parking lot but it is how we get around not violating dumb parking rules (but I'm sure we are violating other rules by temporarily blocking the right of way)...also, in regards to your meeting with your agents - I've been in contact with your agents (at least via email) about possibly getting you guys up here to Northern California to give a talk where I work...not sure it's gonna happen but efforts are/were being made.
Since I knew there would be possible jail involved in a story, I thought I’d learn that Hannah caused a scene at the West Hollywood parking office and got arrested for it 🤣
Love you guys : )! Yippee!!! You guys are on fire with inspiration!!!!
there is never enough disabled parking. Getting a ticket for that is ridiculous.
Hello Shane & Hannah, I have the same issues with accessible parking. Not the no parking front facing out though. I also have an accessible van where I'm on the passenger side and the ramp is also on the passenger side. My mother parks in whatever direction works best for us. Forward facing if the blue hatch design (yellow for me) is on the passenger side. Or back into a parking spot if I have to be on the left. I've never come across the sign you mentioned.
Do you ever use what I call a "Non-Accessible, Accessible Parking Spot"? Those spots are regular size but are on the end of a row. So that no one can park beside our van. Sometimes the walk it a bit longer but it takes less time than waiting for an available accessible spot. My mother and I tend to use the end of a row spots in good weather. Sometimes, those spots are across from the Accessible spot. So the distance isn't difficult or unsafe.
I have LAMA2-Congentital Muscular Dystrophy and also use a motorize wheelchair. I truly enjoy your vlogging. You have a great sense of humour Shane. All the best to you both during your IVF journey and moving forward.💞
I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this. I would have tried to go to court and fight that parking ticket. Best to you both!
Bless Chloe. So good to hear she’s doing better. I know that’s your guys baby. Sorry to hear about the ridiculous $60.00 ticket. Sad way to make money for the city. You guys definitely should fight for what is right. You guys will be so glad to be HOME SWEET HOME soon. Many sweet blessings always.
Hannah, my husband and I want to start a podcast, but I am having such a hard time with anxiety whenever we record. I know you've talked about your anxiety before, so how did you get over any anxiety when recording and posting videos of you speaking?
I don’t want to start a podcast, but am also interested in hearing about Hannah’s experience. 😂
You guys are the best story tellers 👍🏽👌🏽 makes me feel I’m part of the conversation❤❤
Oh wow, I couldn’t sleep and the podcast is already up! Now I can hang out with you guys. I’ve been playing with my cat, and cuddling a couple of puppies but not sleeping. 👍👎
Wow that was unbelievable! So happy the pup is ok.
You are extremely good story tellers. Hannah could have a career as a narrator. Crazy week, you guys!
31:00 similar situation happened to me, I had just gotten the Alexa device, and it was in the living room and somehow or another it got turned on in the middle of the night and was playing a podcast and I also thought someone was in my house. It could be a little scary that’s for sure but then funny when you discover it. Thanks for your stories and inspiration
I'm upset with you guys. I have Spina-bifida so I can relate. Sending love to you both! I hope a lawyer reaches out to you.
I freaking love yall 💜💚💙 and I really hope this past week has been much better to you guys lol.
Things happen in threes. Hope you have a better week this week.
Oh,wow! What a week. Glad Chloe is feeling better.❤
Once Shane was out of the vehicle, you could’ve spun the vehicle around taking five extra minutes and alleviating a $60 ticket. When coming back, you would need to take another five minutes to spin the vehicle around giving Shane access to the vehicle.
You are not wrong
We actually do that park and spin often. I have a power wheelchair and need the stripes on the passenger side. I hate people who use the stripes area as a parking space. I have a small SUV so less issue with vehicle size. But even n our state, mid Atlantic area, the fine is a min of $300. Or up. But the area of our county seat, City/ County bldg has one handicapped parking space. Argh. A lot of things require in person applications, document requests, homestead exemptions, dog taxes, all kinds of craziness. Ourrr. Best success is Walmart parking lot earlier in the morning. Like, 7AM.
We often take my son out of our car somewhere near where we are going that has space to open the door wide and carry him out to his wheelchair. Then one of us moves the car to the disabled parking spot (most of them don’t offer us enough space to get our son out).
Thanks for this story! It makes me feel less alone, or wondering if someone gave me the evil eye! Glad you both (and Chloe) came through it all right. Good luck in getting the parking issue resolved. (My miserable week ended OK. :)
Oh my goodness! Please follow up on the ticket … I have had to do the same with my Dad, Gary…yikes! What a festive week but glad Khloe is feeling better … get some rest and thank you for once again making me smile 😊~Angela
Glad Chloe is ok❤that parking ticket is bs 😮
Seriously advocate for disability accessibility. Near n dear to my heart ❤️ that ticket should be for some idiot actually breaking a law. 🙏
After the darknesss, laughter and light!!! You two are the best : ) Looking forward to seeing Chloe in a future video!!!
When I have seen those signs, I always assumed, ( cause I don’t know ) the authorities want to be able to easily see a license plate. 🤷🏼♀️
In California cars are required to also have a front license plate.
@@claret.8733 that figures! Well I’m not sure unless they just don’t want cars maneuvering around.
Hi guys, I live in San Diego now, but lived in L.A. a good part of my life. The normal traffic here is horrendous. There is never parking, and if there is, you pay a pretty penny to park there. This is just normal parking. I can't imagine parking for the disabled! So sorry you had to go through this, but I'm certainly not surprised.
On another note, I absolutely love watching your videos at home. Is there a video that shows your newest home exterior/interior. I see glimpses of it in the background and it is so beautiful! Would love to see the whole house decor.
Glad you still have a sense of humour after your week of mayhem.
As a SoCal resident who has paid many $72 dollar tickets for my bumper being 2 inches in the red zone and permit signs being put up while my car was parked in an area that does not have enough spaces for the amount of people who live there, I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION FULLY, welcome, parking laws suck here
The backing in rule was so that they make it easier to tow people out of a lot so the rule only applies to their convenience not anybody parking.
That makes sense. But there needs to be an exception
@@joycedominguez8997 Here's Joyce, being an absolute twat again. It was a lunch MEETING. No, they didn't want to miss their meeting.
I would absolutely challenge it in court. I’m sure they know it’s BS and that’s why they denied your appeal, without contacting you for further information.
Usually the police don’t want you to back in so the cops can run your license plates.
In California cars are required to have front license plates too.
Not to mention, backing into spots is safer (when you leave the spot you're not backing up into potential traffic). My college didn't allow people to back into spots. Their reason was because our license plates are our parking passes and they scan them when we're parked. And a lot of people (NC for example) only need to have license plates on the back of their car so it wouldn't be visible if people backed into spots.
Plainly this is discrimination. If a person who is able to drive, but only has a lift on the passenger side, they would have to park the same way. It's not like they could get back in and turn the vehicle around to face forward. Like you both stated it didn't make a difference which way the vehicle was facing. I would find out who oversees the parking enforcement. There is always a higher entity. In other words go over their heads. And, faced with a discrimination complaint they may decide that rule/law is foolish in this instance.
I so get being angry about the parking. I was at the state fair one year and got on their trolley and was charged for myself and also for my wheelchair. I was so upset! It was ridiculous. Im so happy your furbaby is good! I absolutely love your channel!!
Receiving the ticket was irritating but having the powers that be reject your explanation is ridiculous! Accessibility is so limited that the sign should be removed! Who cares if you Park head first or back in? It’s the ability to use the ramp that matters most in that situation! I’d fight it, wondering how many others have been ticketed for the same thing!
That's what I miss about my Saturn 3-door coupe, I use a manual chair, far more compact than a motorized chair, so, I could wrestle the chair out in tight spaces. However, now that I drive a Honda Element with a ramp mod, if someone parks over the hatch marked unloading area, even if I can get the ramp down, I don't have the room to exit/re-enter my vehicle.
Terrible week but have to admit you gave me a few giggles! Yes enjoyed your “recounting” of it! Yes fight that ticket and soooo glad Chloe is ok! As far as that “wonky” “kookie” horrible life disruption, I think I would be plotting my revenge which Of course I never actually act out.
That would be an amazing Hypothetical Freaks segment!
