I used to work at a grocery store and one of the most hated supervisors always parked illegally in a handicap spot. After complaining to management who did nothing, we just started calling the cops on her car during break or bringing in carts. She got fired not long after we started doing that.
The store I managed was next door to a grocery. One of my employees would park in one of their handicapped spots when she worked. She didn't get called on it because she has a placard. The issue was that the placard was for when she would drive her mother places, not for herself. She was still using it a couple of months after her mother passed away so I alerted the grocery and they called the police on her for illegal use of a placard.
@@hectorsmommy1717 we even warned the store and that supervisor that we'd call the cops on her if she didn't stop or they didn't do anything. Crazy thing is the part where they encouraged employees to park was closer than any handicap spot just required actually opening a door yourself... so she was just being an arse
A joke I once read fits a certain number of people in management perfectly. It went something along the lines of: CEO: You need to take anger management classes!! Disgruntled Employee: Why in the hell would I want to take classes about incompetent managers who make me angry🤣
Having a dispatcher who has a sense of humor is always awesome. I had one that actually told me to be safe, and if I just 'had' to fly off, send pictures. He had sent me through Florida, during a hurricane. I laughed my rear off.
My neighbor up the road from us as a child was handicapped and she had a handicapped spot in front of her house. Only once did someone else park there for and lived to regret it. She refused to move her car got pissed and threatened my neighbor calling her a lier and she wasn't handicapped and my neighbor was paralyzed from the waist down in a wheelchair. The cops wrote her a ticket and towed her car. She had the ticket and the towing fee to pay. No one ever took up her space again.
imagine being so entitled that even though you're rich and healthy, you decide to take a disabled girl's parking spot to save half a minute on your commute. I seriously hope that this man learned his lesson. Probably not, if he had he'd have made that known.
Hell, in the story OP mentions that there were empty spaces *next* to the parking spot which means that entitled guy purposefully parked in the handicap space.
They might have requested the disabled parking designation by the city, but it was an official compliance with ADA regulations. The city decided that the request was valid and they were recipients of due diligence of the city.
I read a story where some lady kept parking in a handicapped spot so this mother would have to walk her handicapped up almost two blocks to get her to the school bus. The mom confronts her and she told the mom she had places to go and the mom was dressed in sweatpants so go f@ck off. This pissed another mom off so she sent her husband the next day. Sure as s#it the EP pulls into the handicapped spot after school and comes face to face with a cop. He gives her a ticket for a hundred dollars and tells the EP next time it would be for 700. EP starts going off on the mom with the handicapped mom and the cops says no I just came to pick up my daughter from class and I will be picking her up from now on and if you keep harassing this lady and her child I will arrest you. She never parked there again.
I have the best story ever!! I was going to a hospital to pick up my allergy meds cuz the pharmacy at one of the hospital buildings was cheaper than the local pharmacy. The parking lot was packed there was no parking. So finally after 30 minutes a man got to his car and I put my turning lights on to let people know I'm taking that spot. He finally left the spot and this lady came out of nowhere and turned into the parking. I almost smashed into her car. She got out of her car and yelled at me in some language I didn't understand. I had to drive around for another 45 minutes to get another parking. I didn't know that there was a cop in the other isle and he was watching what she did. I walked past the cop and the ladies car cuz it was the shortest way to the building. The cop told me she is getting towed... I was shocked. He said this car has a lot of unpaid parking tickets and the registration is expired. So I went got my meds and got toy car. I drove by where the lady car was. I saw her walking around and screaming now in English" where Is my car" her car was gone and I couldn't stop laughing at her
During a prolonged illness it was necessary for me to use a wheelchair. As I lived in an apartment, I applied for a handicap parking spot in front of my building, paid the fee, and had the handicapped parking spot designated the next day. It was the only one in front of my building entrance. So many entitled people began parking in that spot that I put the public parking official number on speed dial. There's nothing like being forced to wait in your car in the heat of Summer for a tow truck to come clear your parking spot. If you can read well enough to get a license, you can read well enough to read a freaking parking sign, especially one posted in front of a parking space with a huge handicap parking symbol on it.
Lol, no idea why, but that final, "The woman can't bake anyhow", really cracked me up. It's like he was grateful that he did not have to pretend that her crap was tasty anymore. XD XD XD
That parking ramp was as good as the mercedes with the widows put out and the fire hose through both windows to connect to the hydrant, absolutely priceless.
I had a neighbour that had that, for half their street space was signed as a handicapped, and they always parked in the other half... under the incorrect assumption that he owned the street parking in front of his house (it was free, public parking). He got really upset if anyone parked in "his" space. I had joked that I almost wished I had a handicap tag and really piss him off.
I remember this story that went on local news awhile back. A veteran security guard is maintaining car movement at stadium's dropping area where there's a soccer game that night. Dropping area = no parking zone. A vehicle comes by, with..... Karen in tow, loudly exclaims "nobility coming through!!!". Turns out Karen is a wife of famous soccer star who also playing that night. Security didn't care that much, until Karen decided to park at dropping area. Before she can come out, security goes up to her and tell her to park at designated spot. Nope, security gets yelled instead. This Karen even had audacity recording the whole interaction and posted the video on her social media. She think her status will make people she how right she is. NOPE. She used some colorful languages, and that security, while agitated, never raised a voice. That's all on camera. She tries to delete it, but people already making new post using that video. Security already done a police report, and Karen is forced to publicly apologize so security will remove that report. The only one thing that I felt bad in this whole fiasco is her husband is already on bad run that season, and Karen just making his PR decrease even more.
I was at a military surplus store once, and heard a real good one over the PA. "Attention customers, would the owner of a blue Ford Escort, parked in the 'do not park' area in front of the loading dock, please report to your vehicle? What's left of your transmission has jammed the drive sprocket of our halftrack. Thank you." They didn't actually flatten his car, but they banned the guy for 6 months in the middle of paintball season. He was NOT happy.
Make sure you turn the engine once a week mate. Petrol can go stale and a car engine not used can seize up. Mechanics are going to make a shit load of $$$ after this!
Also if you have squirrels in your area, they can start chewing on your wires on the underside. Try to take a drive around the block once a week. That’ll usually keep the squirrels away and keep your car in good order.
You're not in Britain then, as a broken leg does not allow you to use disabled spots unless you have a disabled badge, which you can't get for a broken leg unless it's a constant thing!
In the early 2000’s my friend's mother, who has MS and has a disabled parking badge, applied to have a disabled parking spot outside of her house as she couldn't walk more than the 3 meters to her.door from the street directly outside of her house and needed a parking space. The local council refused as the space was needed for ”football (soccer) traffic.”
The towed lady called 911 after being told her car was towed, that is a crime, (use of emergency number for non-emergencies). She should have been arrested, or at least given a big fine.
My older sister (21years) is wheelchair bound, and can't talk. Her mental age is about 16-19 (just emotional/social delays) we lived right next to a middle school, the 2 story house was modified for her with ramps and what not. We had a handicap parking spot right in front of our house (accross the street from the middle school) and we would have people in the morning idling their cars in the spot because its too early to drop their kid off but they don't want to move for the bus. The school bus driver started showing up with a tow truck every morning. 😂 it took weeks for everyone to catch on
Yes, you can in fact request a handicap spot, if your place only has street parking, depending on the jurisdiction. I know this is the fact in Toronto, because I lived near one, right in front of a house, with no businesses anywhere near it.
My first go-round with a disability that was truly disabling (I have some that I've had all my life, this one was a complication after having my oldest), my apartment complex installed a handicapped parking sign for the spot closest to my front door. On the rare occasion that someone parked in it, complex management dealt with the offender swiftly if it was during business hours and they directed me to call the county police on weekends. They could choose various fines for parking spaces. The HC spots near the management office only had $100 fines, and the HC spots at the mall I worked in 2 miles away were $500, so they definitely could vary fines. My husband tells me the spots assigned right outside his employer's building in downtown DC were $1000. (different jurisdiction). Later, we built a house in another suburb of DC and I no longer needed the HC spot, but our neighbor did - the fine for parking in her spot was $275. The disabling issue returned and I developed permanent issues, so I'm back to handicapped parking. Where I live now seems to have a lot of $50 fines for parking in a HC spot without an appropriate permit. Not enough to deter people, IMO. I think letting the air out of all 4 tires would have been pro revenge, making him replace them really is nuclear, but if that's what it takes to deter someone from ever doing it again, I'm glad it worked. Not what I would have done, though. My phone always has the police non-emergency number in it to rat someone out if it is clear they abusing the use - like the kids using someone else's HC hangtag to park on my college campus. (my state has the same stickers as car registration on tags, month/year expiration in bright yellow). You can look at a hang tag and see it doesn't match the plate on the car.
My roommie and I luckily have basement garage parking in our building, and we both have the disability parking placards on the dash of her car. We both have a hard time getting in and out of a car, and NEED the extra space that a handicap parking spot gives. We have to open the car doors WIDE. And it takes TIME. I don't need anything but a cane so far, but my roommie has to go into the trunk and pull out a rolly walker. I have watched the school bus that collects and brings back a little girl who lives in our building. She is in a HUGE wheel chair, and has to be put on the bus's chair elevator to be lifted in or out of the bus. The bus has to park directly in front of the building's front doors for at least 5 to 10 minutes for this procedure to happen. There is a long driveway that is a loop, in front of our building, so that you can enter from either direction and just drive on through to reconnect to the street. Anyone who comes to pick up someone or drop them off at the door can just drive forward about 15 feet to give the bus room. Because even though there are no signs up, NO ONE in their right mind is going to get pissy about moving their car out of the way of a school bus for handicapped kids!!!! What sort of anti social MORON thinks it's a good idea to make life even more difficult for a child with the kind of challenges that puts her in a HUGE wheel chair?!?!?!?!? I'm assuming that the sports car guy KNEW that the girl that needed that special parking spot was confined to a wheel chair and wasn't going to be hopping out of it to scamper onto that bus herself. He probably had seen the whole pick up and drop off ritual himself several times, because he LIVED in the neighborhood. He KNEW exactly what he was doing, and for some nut job reason went LOOKING for trouble. He had to know that there would be repercussions . I'm glad that the neighborhood stepped in and gave the guy his marching orders. He deserves to loose a lot, because he proved himself to be a first class sh*t.
Heck yeah. Nothing made me as appreciative of handicapped parking as when I'd broken both of my legs and gotten external fixators. Once released, my only way in and out of a car was to basically slide on a low-friction board, onto a wheelchair with the legs of the chair sticking out. I felt so bad for needing to take up the extra space, I can't imagine what it'd be like to have someone acting antagonistic on top of that as well, making you feel less wanted. Definitely would have been nice to have gotten some extra charges tacked on to that, because of the attitude.
Both my Parents and one of my Aunts are Disabled and have Placards so I know the struggle the Disabled regularly deal with and I have absolutely NO Sense of Humor with people that Illegally park in Disabled spots or Emergency/Fire Access Lanes. The instant I see such Illegally Parked vehicles, I pull out my Cell Phone and call the Cities Parking Authority (or the Police Non-Emergency number if the PA is closed) and report them... Usually an Officer is there in less than 10 minutes with Ticket Machine in hand... Depending on the location, the Tow Truck shows up 5-10 minutes after the Officer does...
As someone who uses a cane, I can still walk some distance but not very far, and if I'm going shopping I HAVE to ride on a cart unless it's for five, ten minutes in a small store. The muscles in my back won't support me for too long, and my balance is shot to hell. I can fall over just standing up from a chair. When people sit there and tell me I can't be disabled because it doesn't show, it pisses me off. When people take places for handicapped people, I tend to get a bit volcanic. I literally check every car in the row to make sure they have plate/car/sticker what have you.
As a disabled person I hate when people park illegal in disability spots because they are to lazy to walk the extra 20 feet. Unlike them I actually need the spot since it's unsafe for me to be walking in a parking lot because I am blind.
I wish I was the Officer that showed up to the Loading Zone Karen... I wouldn't have said it was a Civil matter, I would have looked at the pics taken by the trucker and security and promptly given Karen a Ticket for Illegal Parking (and likely a second Ticket for Creating a Public Disturbance if/when she started screaming about it)...
The officer needs to be parking enforcement called by the mall to be able to write up illegal parking in that case, as per Ontario law. Most likely Karen called the cops for a 'stolen' car, they wouldn't be able to write her up, but weren't going to bother anyone else. Best they can do is go 'civil matter' loudly and leave.
@@adam_mawz_maas Not always true, many Mall Owners have a standing contract/order with the Local Police/Parking Enforcement to patrol their lots and issue Tickets for Parking Infractions without needing to be called specifically for that vehicle... Many of the Malls in my City do this due to the extreme numbers of Idiots that believe Parking in the Fire/Emergency Access Lane is perfectly OK because "their just going in for 1 thing and will only be a minute" or other such BS... At least 3 people that I know of have been Arrested and Tried for Criminal Negligence (among other Charges) because they parked in the Emergency Access Lane and someone had a Medical Crisis and the EMT's couldn't get there quickly due to their Ambulance not fitting through the available space...
Had someone park in an unloading zone in the supermarket I worked in at that time. Karma wasn't on his good side as there was a big truck that was unloading and it went wrong and a full pallet of beer went off the unloading lift of the truck right onto the car. The car looked like a total loss.
I know that this video is almost 2 years old, but I enjoy watching Fluff's classic postings while I am waiting on the new one to be published. Anyway, regarding the store I titled "Karen and the Loading Zone", it reminded me of a sign I saw on the backside of my local Dave & Busters. (think Chuck E. Cheese for adults) Right next to their loading zone there was a sign that read "If you park here, your car will be crushed and turned into Skee-Ball tickets."
I've seen on more than one occasion people that drive for Uber or Lyft drop people off at a spot that specifically says No Parking, No Stopping, No Unloading, No Waiting because it is the fire lane at the Mall of America. I usually just take a photo with my phone and then send it to Uber / Lyft for them to sort out.
My grandparents have a dedicated parking space on their block. They've been in their house for 40 yrs and it used to be lined with families. Now it's mostly university rentals and parking for the zoo. Neither of them drive anymore, but my granny sits on the porch and police her parking space. Lol
Why are people so anal about parking spots? It blows the mind. I got friends who will see someone driving around for a good spot. Meanwhile, they park in the back, walk in, do their shopping, come out and that same person is still driving around. Some people really gotta learn to pick their battles.
That first story really hit home. When my dad was fighting cancer he was to weak to even walk so we had a handicap parking sign put directly in front of our house and people used to park there anyway all the time I can’t explain the anger I would have when I would be bringing my dad out just to see some assholes car parked there why people do things like that I will never understand.
You say: "This family dedicated this spot for a reason... " That's not how it works (at least here). You apply to the city, and if they agree that you need a handicapped spot near your house, they will create that spot. Here it can have a licence plate attached: only that specific vehicle can park there.
very much depends on jurisdiction. Here you can get designated handicapped loading zones, where nobody can park long-term and they're only for handicapped loading. Handicapped tags generally mean freedom from ticketing (which is why they're widely faked here), only a few things can get you ticketed if you have handicapped tags (fire zones, including hydrants, and loading zones mostly, but sadly not parking in the bike lane)
In #1. At first I thought there was the chance that he was also handicapped and didn't know it was reserved for a special purpose, but that wasn't the case.
My gfs mother has a disabled parking spot for her but doesn’t drive, it belongs to her because of her property space She allows anyone in the area to use it but will request they move when her kids visit They often send her nice treats and things Kindness can come from both sides but often is not the case
Surprise, Dark Fluff! It takes red tape with city/County departments and filling out forms correctly to their requirements (i.e. doctor's records, etc.) and then they'll gladly put it up for people who need it. It was like that for my Grandpa when he was in New Jersey where there was no driveway parking.
The apartment that my sis and brother-in-law used to live in years ago was near a park that did the 4th of July display. The residents could have family/friends park there, with special tags, all others get towed. There were signs that stated this. We watched as some entitled people park and were told off by a rental manager. They told the RM that they were parking there and had better not get towed. They had the kids in strollers and set off for a closer spot for viewing. We saw the RM call for a tow truck. Tow truck came and took the minivan away. Minutes later, apparently they had forgotten the diaper bag, because 1 of them came back. Started arguing with the RM. Really getting in RM’s face. There was a cop that was patrolling at this time. Gal got arrested.
The loading zone story was interesting. Where I live, a spot designated simply "loading zone" allows anyone to park there at any time BUT only for 15 minutes maximum. Other loading zone signs will have specific rules on them ( only a LZ for designated times, only vehicles marked commercial or courier, etc).
I don't get why anyone would use their cars to feebly assert their dominance. Leaving your car unattended somewhere it's not supposed to be amounts to an engraved invitation for tickets, tows, maybe even getting keyed.
My sister has a designated spot in front of her apartment since there are not enough handicapped spots in she lot. People park there all the time and she has to get them towed because 1) if she parks anywhere else she'll be towed and ticketed since that spot is specifically for her car 2) people should know better no handicapped tag/license plate you cant park there.
While parking in a disabled parking spot in germany (without the proper batch) will earn you a nice and expensive towing. As soon the real police or the people from the traffic control (they alot more things in germany beside traffic - it's called "Ordnungsamt" or "Stadtpolizei" - they have alot of the same authority like the "real police" but not all of them) knows about the blocked spot, the write the fine, and order it to be towed - and it doesn't matter if someone needs the spot just in this minute. The car will be towed no matter what. The fine will be send to your homeadress and you have one week to pay it, and you have to pay the towing company immediately or you won't get your car back (because the police orders the towing there is not much you can do against it).
I know that I’m Australia, you can get signage for accessible parking. My father had a small office in our country town, and they placed two new posts with accessible parking signage right out the front. Everyone in town knew that this spot was for Dad and only occasionally we would have someone from out of town, or driving through park there. It was never a bother really. The space was used mostly by my father, but it was also there for anyone else with an appropriate parking permit (or placard as they call them in the USA) The accessible/disabled parking space made such a difference and it meant the Dad could continue visiting and working from his office for a few years longer than he ever could of without it. Also, in the city, I had some neighbours, on my street who had a sign posted accessible parking space outside their house. I’d be very interested to find out where else in the world this is available.
I had a dedicated handicapped spot in front of my apartment. The carport access was not handicapped accessible so I requested a dedicated spot from the city since parking was in short supply. It took 2 weeks.
this is a weird compliment, but a part of the commentary on the first story you made at the end as if you couldnt find the wording you were looking for cheered me up!!! a lot of times i word things really awkwardly, and due to mental issues and the fact my vocals cords and brain hate to comply with me, making my sentences decently unintelligable and making me saying the opposite words or words that have no relation to the words i want to say, i end up not talking to people verbally a lot. since i cant really talk to people in a super understandable way, i cant really find anyone in real life with similar issues with wording and speaking. so, hearin a youtuber i watch say awkward wording make me happy! because i do that! thankyoyu!!!!!!!!!!
Where I live, when an illegally parked car is hit, its automatically their fault for parking illegally. I've hit quite a few illegally parked cars in my day when delivering and/or driving a beater.
That guy who parked in the disabled spot and said that the school bus could have stopped in the next spot which was vacant....why didn't he park there?
Worked for towing company that did handicap parking enforcement for the 2 major shopping centers parking lots. First warning was a bright orange sticker attached with industrial glue warning with your info has been recorded & is subject to be towed at owners expense. $255 later (if it makes it to the yard & with in 3 days for storage) they can get it back. Can't even imagine how many times people have come in really pissed but they made the choice to park there & get caught.
Yes, you can have a designated disabled parking spot in any location it is truly needed within a community or private home. And yes, if someone else uses them without permission, you can call the police so long as you have proof. (Always gotta have proof) You should never mess with people who 'NEED' these spots, because the fines and embarrassment isn't worth it. I'm disabled, but not enough to where I can't function in the day to day; I don't use disabled parking spots unless I REALLY need too. I leave them for the ones who truly need to be closer to their destination or home.
I got a good story over a parking space feud that took place some 30 odd years ago. When I was a kid my family lived in a huge apartment complex, the building had 4 floors and consisted of 4 separate stairwells with 8 apartments each. I lived in the stairwell that was on one end of the building. Each stairwell had it's own house association and every summer there was 1 day set aside for doing light maintenance and cleanup on our part of the building: powerwashing, cleaning, fixing, painting etc. Everything light that the residents could do themselves. This one day we had a lot of leftover white paint so we decided to mark each parking space with the number of the apartment that used it and since nobody protested it was the last job of the day and then we had a big BBQ. Now the important part is that the apartments didn't "own" the parking spaces on the parking lot, the entire parking lot belonged to the apartment complex as a whole but each parking space was not "assigned" to a specific apartment. For years there had been this silent agreement on what part of the parking lot "belonged" to what stairwell and which parking space each apartment used. Our stairwell used the 10 parking spaces that were on our side of the parking lot and for the parking spots then the 2 spots closest to the building were for guests and then the 4th floor got the 2 spaces after that and then the third floor etc. It wasn't enforced, and we couldn't enforce it to begin with but it was just a general agreement between everybody that this was the way to utilize the parking lot since it was logical. And since not every apartment in the complex owned a car there was always plenty of free spaces available anyways. A few days after we had marked the spaces a "neighbor" from the Stairway on the complete opposite end of the building came knocking on the door of our house association chairman and he went on this tirade about how what we did by marking the spots was illegal and that we couldn't do it and had to clean it up and yadda yadda yadda, he was very loud and obnoxious and since we lived across from her we heard the entire thing. Apparently the guy came a few times annoying our chairman and being a pest but everybody just ignored him. And then he started to park in "our" spaces, every day he would park his old beatup rustbucket of a car in one of "our" spaces and he would walk all the way across the lot to his side of the building. Remember when I said that not everybody owned a car and there were usually free spaces available?, yeah so what he was doing was annoying but not really a problem. I heard from the chairman that the guy called the city and even tried calling the police but all they did was contact her to ask about what was going on but they didn't do shit about his complaints, as far as they were concerned our marking of the spots were just scribbling on the ground. This went on for weeks.. until the guy decided to up his antics and he started to double park, after a few days of him doing that my sister gets fed up with him so she decided to move her tiny compact car and park it right behind his car. Two of our neighbors caught on and parked their cars on either side of his car so he was boxed in. Now queue the annoying guy coming to complain about us having boxed in his car, everybody decides to ignore him. A few hours pass and he has learnt that the car behind his was my sisters car so he comes knocking on our door complaining and threatening to call the cops and vandalizing my sisters car and whatnot but my sister after having stayed silent at the start of his tirade is now in a total "no fucks given" mode starts screaming and shouting at the guy, she shouts that she was expecting him to come threatening either her or the car so she had a dictaphone recording the threats he made at the start of his tirade (this was before the "digital age" so all we had were analog tape recorders). They continue shouting at one another for 5 minutes and it ends with the guy leaving and my sister not moving her car. Now about half an hour later the guy comes knocking again and now he is literally crying and begging my sister to move her car, that he has an important job interview to go to that he must show up for. My sister, still in her 'no fucks given' mode, slams the door in his face and locks the door. few minutes after that we hear this very loud screeching sound, like a pile of metal being dragged along the ground. The guy drove over the very tall curb to escape, scratching the underside of his car to shit and going along the pavement which ran alongside the parking lot until he could drive onto the parking lot again over the curb in front of a free space. The guy stopped parking on "our" side of the parking lot and we never saw or heard from the guy again, and that's how my sister ended the parking lot feud that lasted around 3 months.
Me : Oh, more stories already done on other channels. A mix of new and heard previously, truthfully. Also me: *likes Darkfluff, so listens anyway, and enjoys*
I've thought about getting my city to implement a handicap spot outside my house because people keep parking in my spot to go across the street and my son uses a wheelchair. Unfortunately the building across the street is a heart center and most the people who park in my spot have handicap place card and are parking in the street so they can smoke while someone is in the heart center.
All those parking stories make me weep. They remind me of the day when a "hormonally challenged young man of migratory background" parked his "Bavarian potency enhancer" (aka BMW 3er with all the works) in front of a yard exit. Told that "he is blocking Ute" he made some snide remarks, suggeste the "slut could slide over his Beemer" and left. Much to our frustration he managed to race over a busy 4-lane street, jump in his car and race away before that could happen. We would have LOVED to see Ute slide over his car... Ute is the nickname of the 45to Jagdpanther of the WTS Koblenz...
My grandma has a disable parking spot out side of her house. But the neighbors park this old plumber van (their builders ?) . After 1 year my grandma got revenge by putting up CCTV and she caught one of the people living their doing illegal activitys and the police came and fined them for the car and the person doing illegal activitys got arrested
0:19 I've seen compilation video of people who can't drive or park, and do so maliciously, and the majority of the compilation takes place in Utah, and most of the clips have people parking just right, to where the offender would have to climb through the front passenger door to get into their car
A HC spot in a neighborhood is for HC folks, though it means ANY HC person. We had a spot directly at our door. There was always someone else in it. The sign needed an address on it. Be forewarned.
The story about the car being towed actually reminds me of a TH-cam channel I watch sometimes. Basically their entire channel is videos of people's cars getting towed when they think it's ok to park their vehicles in the parking area in the back alley of their business because it's close to a few bars etc. They have big signs up saying "no parking, for employees only, etc" but these people still park their and the videos are hilarious when these hammered people come back and find their cars missing.
It takes a lot of work and red tape to get a handicapped parking spot but what most people are confused about is that you can't get the spot just for your family member. Rather, the parking spot is converted to a general 'handicapped/disabled parking spot". This means that anyone with a disabled parking permit can park there.
the third story... my house has space for one vehicle on the street (the garage and driveway is used by by my roommates). Several houses down, there is one place that usually has 4-6 vehicles parked on their driveway (just barely fitting onto the driveway, in front of the 2-car garage). What really annoys me is when they decide to have others over for several days. Usually they are there friday before I arrive, or when I'm out on saturday, and then they don't move till monday or tuesday, making me park 4 houses down, as that's the nearest space I can fit, which doesn't have a resident car (not going to be mean and take another's spot myself...) Misses me off, but there's not really much I can do.
Dark Fluff, where I live there are restrictions where large trucks can go when there is an autistic child living there. There are also fines levied when you defy the signs. These signs are not given to anyone who wants them. I don't know how to get them, but I have seen them. I have no sympathy for such human garbage. I love your videos. I am depressed more so than normal and you keep me upbeat. I will also tell you and anyone who reads this that Entitled Behavior is NOT new. I always referred it to someone thinking that the law or the rules don't apply to them. Peace!
My godmother had a handicap parking space in front of her house. The city usually makes one for home owners that have a life long disability. It’s a process
I hate it when friendly neighbors suddenly shun you amd never tell you why. That happened to me 10 years ago and it still bothers me to this day because I never found out why.
I have a feeling that last post could have been avoided if there had been an attempt at communicating. A 'why are you doing this' would be enough to gauge what's the matter and whether revenge was neccesary...
Yes, if you have no way to get into your home, you can request a cutout installed and a disabled spot put in. But be aware, the disabled parking spot can be used by other disabled folks. Basically, the spot does not belong to you.
I get what your saying about the disabled parking spot but please remember it’s not your spot. It’s for any disabled vehicle to use . That guy in the car was an ass for using and not even looking for signs.
Hey there, Fluff, if you're reading, I just wanna tell you that you are amazing and I absolutely love your content. You always post videos when I'm doing homework, a reason why I can still do it is because if my daily dose of satisfaction, and I thank you for it! Stay home, and stay safe!
Regarding this, I live in an apartment complex, and regularly there is a pair of cars from the same unit that like to park in the handicap parking spot by the rear of the buildings, and double park in the no parking zone without a placard.. or plates. Should I report this, or leave material for my local Literacy Improvement Group and or vision services?
My pet peeve is motor cycles or other vehicles parking in the stripped zone between the handicapped spots. They are for wheel chair van with ramps so those in wheelchairs can get out! Or for people like me that need their doors completely open so I can get out of those that need walkers, not for entitled parking. Saw a teacher in a wheel chair from out local school blocked out of her van by a grocery shopper. By the time he got out, she waited for him to come out, blocked him with the wheelchair and chewed him up and spit him out until the cop came and wrote him a $400 ticket.She might have been in a wheel chair, but he was terrified of her! Bet he never did it again!! Oh, and the stripped zones are not for those with placards when they can’t find anything else!!
Great video. Just to let you know that here in the U.K., the word 'handicapped' is considered discriminatory. It originated from when disabled people were forced to beg on the street 'cap in hand'.
I find it amazing how these people are shocked when they get a ticket or get their car towed when they purposely park illegally as if consequences dont affect them 🤦🏾♂️
Hey! I love your channel! Is mostly about your voice, pronunciation and lighter tone, not just the stories. By the way, once some officers ACTUALLY painted a reserved parking lot arround my parked car and gave me a fine. I was furious. I never could prove anything and learned how Chilean law is just given on a friend to friend basis. Si you know that this happen to the wrong people :c
I had one for my elderly parents and never, not once, did I use it, if they weren't with me. In fact, at the mall I always dropped my mom off and parked somewhere else. Our mall, is still a walk to the door.
The guy that parked in the handicapped spot could have made a public apology, and shown that he actually cared. I bet he wouldn't have had to move, if he'd tried hard enough. But he didn't care to. That's his fault.
I remember one day at Walmart and a truck pulls into the expecting mother parking spot. It happens to be a over weight man. A old lady yelled at him, you can't park there? He told her to STFU. Big mistake on his part he yelled just cause your fat and stupid man doesn't make you a pregnant woman. He got so embarrassed he got in his truck and left right away without going into the store
Yeah, you can petition for one to be installed but the condition is that anyone with a handicap plaque can park in it. So if you have other neighbors who are handicapped they'll just use up the space.
It depends on where you live. In some states the handicapped sign is connected to a particular permit or hangtag number. Only a car with that tag number can park there. Anyone who parks in that space must show the matching number hangtag or placard or be ticketed and towed. It does not mean anyone with a handicap can park.
In my city (I know of this building, there could be others. But I speak of what I know) a building near my office has a cemented area between the building and the road. This is used for parking of 2-wheelers. But because there are many offices in the building, each having many employees with 2-wheelers, that space is always full. Visitors are helped by a security guard who moves the vehicles around to maximise the vehicles being parked. Any vehicle parked on the road is towed. A towing truck company working on contract with the traffic police on commission basis. But this towing company owner is corrupt and greedy. He talked the building security guard into corruption himself. The security guard would shift several vehicles from the parking lot onto the road just before the arrival of the tow truck (maybe the driver would inform the security guard that he was on his way within 10-15 minutes). All the vehicles would be carried away. This stopped when the building management put up security cameras and saw what the guard was doing. The mobile phone of the tow truck driver was examined by the police, which showed the calls he made to the guard just prior to his reaching the building revealed the whole conspiracy, and got the guard and the tow truck driver arrested.
I used to work at a grocery store and one of the most hated supervisors always parked illegally in a handicap spot. After complaining to management who did nothing, we just started calling the cops on her car during break or bringing in carts. She got fired not long after we started doing that.
The store I managed was next door to a grocery. One of my employees would park in one of their handicapped spots when she worked. She didn't get called on it because she has a placard. The issue was that the placard was for when she would drive her mother places, not for herself. She was still using it a couple of months after her mother passed away so I alerted the grocery and they called the police on her for illegal use of a placard.
@@hectorsmommy1717 we even warned the store and that supervisor that we'd call the cops on her if she didn't stop or they didn't do anything. Crazy thing is the part where they encouraged employees to park was closer than any handicap spot just required actually opening a door yourself... so she was just being an arse
A joke I once read fits a certain number of people in management perfectly. It went something along the lines of:
CEO: You need to take anger management classes!!
Disgruntled Employee: Why in the hell would I want to take classes about incompetent managers who make me angry🤣
'So now you're stealing cars, huh? ' That one killed me. Straight onto the floor laughing.
Having a dispatcher who has a sense of humor is always awesome.
I had one that actually told me to be safe, and if I just 'had' to fly off, send pictures.
He had sent me through Florida, during a hurricane.
I laughed my rear off.
My neighbor up the road from us as a child was handicapped and she had a handicapped spot in front of her house. Only once did someone else park there for and lived to regret it. She refused to move her car got pissed and threatened my neighbor calling her a lier and she wasn't handicapped and my neighbor was paralyzed from the waist down in a wheelchair. The cops wrote her a ticket and towed her car. She had the ticket and the towing fee to pay. No one ever took up her space again.
imagine being so entitled that even though you're rich and healthy, you decide to take a disabled girl's parking spot to save half a minute on your commute.
I seriously hope that this man learned his lesson.
Probably not, if he had he'd have made that known.
Imagine having a semi entitled parents, cares for others' feelings but protects his/her children against mean people
I love those
Hell, in the story OP mentions that there were empty spaces *next* to the parking spot which means that entitled guy purposefully parked in the handicap space.
They might have requested the disabled parking designation by the city, but it was an official compliance with ADA regulations. The city decided that the request was valid and they were recipients of due diligence of the city.
I read a story where some lady kept parking in a handicapped spot so this mother would have to walk her handicapped up almost two blocks to get her to the school bus. The mom confronts her and she told the mom she had places to go and the mom was dressed in sweatpants so go f@ck off. This pissed another mom off so she sent her husband the next day. Sure as s#it the EP pulls into the handicapped spot after school and comes face to face with a cop. He gives her a ticket for a hundred dollars and tells the EP next time it would be for 700. EP starts going off on the mom with the handicapped mom and the cops says no I just came to pick up my daughter from class and I will be picking her up from now on and if you keep harassing this lady and her child I will arrest you. She never parked there again.
I have the best story ever!! I was going to a hospital to pick up my allergy meds cuz the pharmacy at one of the hospital buildings was cheaper than the local pharmacy. The parking lot was packed there was no parking. So finally after 30 minutes a man got to his car and I put my turning lights on to let people know I'm taking that spot. He finally left the spot and this lady came out of nowhere and turned into the parking. I almost smashed into her car. She got out of her car and yelled at me in some language I didn't understand. I had to drive around for another 45 minutes to get another parking. I didn't know that there was a cop in the other isle and he was watching what she did. I walked past the cop and the ladies car cuz it was the shortest way to the building. The cop told me she is getting towed... I was shocked. He said this car has a lot of unpaid parking tickets and the registration is expired. So I went got my meds and got toy car. I drove by where the lady car was. I saw her walking around and screaming now in English" where Is my car" her car was gone and I couldn't stop laughing at her
During a prolonged illness it was necessary for me to use a wheelchair. As I lived in an apartment, I applied for a handicap parking spot in front of my building, paid the fee, and had the handicapped parking spot designated the next day. It was the only one in front of my building entrance. So many entitled people began parking in that spot that I put the public parking official number on speed dial. There's nothing like being forced to wait in your car in the heat of Summer for a tow truck to come clear your parking spot.
If you can read well enough to get a license, you can read well enough to read a freaking parking sign, especially one posted in front of a parking space with a huge handicap parking symbol on it.
Lol, no idea why, but that final, "The woman can't bake anyhow", really cracked me up. It's like he was grateful that he did not have to pretend that her crap was tasty anymore. XD XD XD
That parking ramp was as good as the mercedes with the widows put out and the fire hose through both windows to connect to the hydrant, absolutely priceless.
That woman can't bake anyways. Awesome Ending!
I had a neighbour that had that, for half their street space was signed as a handicapped, and they always parked in the other half... under the incorrect assumption that he owned the street parking in front of his house (it was free, public parking). He got really upset if anyone parked in "his" space. I had joked that I almost wished I had a handicap tag and really piss him off.
I remember this story that went on local news awhile back. A veteran security guard is maintaining car movement at stadium's dropping area where there's a soccer game that night. Dropping area = no parking zone. A vehicle comes by, with..... Karen in tow, loudly exclaims "nobility coming through!!!". Turns out Karen is a wife of famous soccer star who also playing that night. Security didn't care that much, until Karen decided to park at dropping area. Before she can come out, security goes up to her and tell her to park at designated spot. Nope, security gets yelled instead. This Karen even had audacity recording the whole interaction and posted the video on her social media. She think her status will make people she how right she is. NOPE. She used some colorful languages, and that security, while agitated, never raised a voice. That's all on camera. She tries to delete it, but people already making new post using that video. Security already done a police report, and Karen is forced to publicly apologize so security will remove that report. The only one thing that I felt bad in this whole fiasco is her husband is already on bad run that season, and Karen just making his PR decrease even more.
I was at a military surplus store once, and heard a real good one over the PA.
"Attention customers, would the owner of a blue Ford Escort, parked in the 'do not park' area in front of the loading dock, please report to your vehicle? What's left of your transmission has jammed the drive sprocket of our halftrack. Thank you."
They didn't actually flatten his car, but they banned the guy for 6 months in the middle of paintball season. He was NOT happy.
LOL!
I love the narrator’s tone of voice (very nice voice by the way) and the way he puts all the stories into perspective. His commentaries are funny.
As a blind man, I really hated that guy who stole the disabled parking spot!
Can't relate to someone taking my parking spot, my car hasn't left its spot since Mid-March. Let's go, social distancing!
Make sure you turn the engine once a week mate. Petrol can go stale and a car engine not used can seize up. Mechanics are going to make a shit load of $$$ after this!
Yeah and handbreak can get stuck also if car stays still for too long
Will we get road tax back, as we are not allowed to use them?
Also if you have squirrels in your area, they can start chewing on your wires on the underside. Try to take a drive around the block once a week. That’ll usually keep the squirrels away and keep your car in good order.

"Handicapped spaces shouldn't be a thing."
As someone who broke a leg, that made me want to break his.
My mother needs to use a cane to get around. At theme parks a wheelchair
So I would agree
You're not in Britain then, as a broken leg does not allow you to use disabled spots unless you have a disabled badge, which you can't get for a broken leg unless it's a constant thing!

@@glenr7393 you can get a temporary one. If you can’t walk far. I feel sorry for you guys that could really help someone.
In the early 2000’s my friend's mother, who has MS and has a disabled parking badge, applied to have a disabled parking spot outside of her house as she couldn't walk more than the 3 meters to her.door from the street directly outside of her house and needed a parking space. The local council refused as the space was needed for ”football (soccer) traffic.”
That's awful
Shouldve called the ada then get them involved
@@tractorboy31 -- call local media, too. They'd certainly like the story and the follow up coverage they could give it.
@@debbys-abqnm4537 Ada first. Nothing happens, then the media.
“Yeah, kids having fun is more important than *a disabled kid with MS* because that’s perfect logic!”
-the council
but fr I feel bad for her
The towed lady called 911 after being told her car was towed, that is a crime, (use of emergency number for non-emergencies). She should have been arrested, or at least given a big fine.
It's not a crime here in Toronto, where the story happened.
My older sister (21years) is wheelchair bound, and can't talk. Her mental age is about 16-19 (just emotional/social delays) we lived right next to a middle school, the 2 story house was modified for her with ramps and what not. We had a handicap parking spot right in front of our house (accross the street from the middle school) and we would have people in the morning idling their cars in the spot because its too early to drop their kid off but they don't want to move for the bus. The school bus driver started showing up with a tow truck every morning. 😂 it took weeks for everyone to catch on
Awesome!😂
Yes, you can in fact request a handicap spot, if your place only has street parking, depending on the jurisdiction. I know this is the fact in Toronto, because I lived near one, right in front of a house, with no businesses anywhere near it.
My first go-round with a disability that was truly disabling (I have some that I've had all my life, this one was a complication after having my oldest), my apartment complex installed a handicapped parking sign for the spot closest to my front door. On the rare occasion that someone parked in it, complex management dealt with the offender swiftly if it was during business hours and they directed me to call the county police on weekends. They could choose various fines for parking spaces. The HC spots near the management office only had $100 fines, and the HC spots at the mall I worked in 2 miles away were $500, so they definitely could vary fines.
My husband tells me the spots assigned right outside his employer's building in downtown DC were $1000. (different jurisdiction). Later, we built a house in another suburb of DC and I no longer needed the HC spot, but our neighbor did - the fine for parking in her spot was $275. The disabling issue returned and I developed permanent issues, so I'm back to handicapped parking. Where I live now seems to have a lot of $50 fines for parking in a HC spot without an appropriate permit. Not enough to deter people, IMO.
I think letting the air out of all 4 tires would have been pro revenge, making him replace them really is nuclear, but if that's what it takes to deter someone from ever doing it again, I'm glad it worked. Not what I would have done, though. My phone always has the police non-emergency number in it to rat someone out if it is clear they abusing the use - like the kids using someone else's HC hangtag to park on my college campus. (my state has the same stickers as car registration on tags, month/year expiration in bright yellow). You can look at a hang tag and see it doesn't match the plate on the car.
My roommie and I luckily have basement garage parking in our building, and we both have the disability parking placards on the dash of her car. We both have a hard time getting in and out of a car, and NEED the extra space that a handicap parking spot gives. We have to open the car doors WIDE. And it takes TIME. I don't need anything but a cane so far, but my roommie has to go into the trunk and pull out a rolly walker.
I have watched the school bus that collects and brings back a little girl who lives in our building. She is in a HUGE wheel chair, and has to be put on the bus's chair elevator to be lifted in or out of the bus. The bus has to park directly in front of the building's front doors for at least 5 to 10 minutes for this procedure to happen. There is a long driveway that is a loop, in front of our building, so that you can enter from either direction and just drive on through to reconnect to the street. Anyone who comes to pick up someone or drop them off at the door can just drive forward about 15 feet to give the bus room. Because even though there are no signs up, NO ONE in their right mind is going to get pissy about moving their car out of the way of a school bus for handicapped kids!!!! What sort of anti social MORON thinks it's a good idea to make life even more difficult for a child with the kind of challenges that puts her in a HUGE wheel chair?!?!?!?!? I'm assuming that the sports car guy KNEW that the girl that needed that special parking spot was confined to a wheel chair and wasn't going to be hopping out of it to scamper onto that bus herself. He probably had seen the whole pick up and drop off ritual himself several times, because he LIVED in the neighborhood. He KNEW exactly what he was doing, and for some nut job reason went LOOKING for trouble. He had to know that there would be repercussions . I'm glad that the neighborhood stepped in and gave the guy his marching orders. He deserves to loose a lot, because he proved himself to be a first class sh*t.
i agree however he should of sent the video to police to get more chargres stack on harrasment stalking
Heck yeah. Nothing made me as appreciative of handicapped parking as when I'd broken both of my legs and gotten external fixators. Once released, my only way in and out of a car was to basically slide on a low-friction board, onto a wheelchair with the legs of the chair sticking out. I felt so bad for needing to take up the extra space, I can't imagine what it'd be like to have someone acting antagonistic on top of that as well, making you feel less wanted.
Definitely would have been nice to have gotten some extra charges tacked on to that, because of the attitude.
Both my Parents and one of my Aunts are Disabled and have Placards so I know the struggle the Disabled regularly deal with and I have absolutely NO Sense of Humor with people that Illegally park in Disabled spots or Emergency/Fire Access Lanes.
The instant I see such Illegally Parked vehicles, I pull out my Cell Phone and call the Cities Parking Authority (or the Police Non-Emergency number if the PA is closed) and report them...
Usually an Officer is there in less than 10 minutes with Ticket Machine in hand...
Depending on the location, the Tow Truck shows up 5-10 minutes after the Officer does...
@@critter2 Let not leave out they guy's employer, please note he made that rant to a minor (op was this sister of the disabled child)
As someone who uses a cane, I can still walk some distance but not very far, and if I'm going shopping I HAVE to ride on a cart unless it's for five, ten minutes in a small store. The muscles in my back won't support me for too long, and my balance is shot to hell. I can fall over just standing up from a chair. When people sit there and tell me I can't be disabled because it doesn't show, it pisses me off. When people take places for handicapped people, I tend to get a bit volcanic. I literally check every car in the row to make sure they have plate/car/sticker what have you.
As a disabled person I hate when people park illegal in disability spots because they are to lazy to walk the extra 20 feet. Unlike them I actually need the spot since it's unsafe for me to be walking in a parking lot because I am blind.
I wish I was the Officer that showed up to the Loading Zone Karen...
I wouldn't have said it was a Civil matter, I would have looked at the pics taken by the trucker and security and promptly given Karen a Ticket for Illegal Parking (and likely a second Ticket for Creating a Public Disturbance if/when she started screaming about it)...
The officer needs to be parking enforcement called by the mall to be able to write up illegal parking in that case, as per Ontario law.
Most likely Karen called the cops for a 'stolen' car, they wouldn't be able to write her up, but weren't going to bother anyone else. Best they can do is go 'civil matter' loudly and leave.
@@adam_mawz_maas Not always true, many Mall Owners have a standing contract/order with the Local Police/Parking Enforcement to patrol their lots and issue Tickets for Parking Infractions without needing to be called specifically for that vehicle...
Many of the Malls in my City do this due to the extreme numbers of Idiots that believe Parking in the Fire/Emergency Access Lane is perfectly OK because "their just going in for 1 thing and will only be a minute" or other such BS...
At least 3 people that I know of have been Arrested and Tried for Criminal Negligence (among other Charges) because they parked in the Emergency Access Lane and someone had a Medical Crisis and the EMT's couldn't get there quickly due to their Ambulance not fitting through the available space...
Had someone park in an unloading zone in the supermarket I worked in at that time.
Karma wasn't on his good side as there was a big truck that was unloading and it went wrong and a full pallet of beer went off the unloading lift of the truck right onto the car.
The car looked like a total loss.
I know that this video is almost 2 years old, but I enjoy watching Fluff's classic postings while I am waiting on the new one to be published. Anyway, regarding the store I titled "Karen and the Loading Zone", it reminded me of a sign I saw on the backside of my local Dave & Busters. (think Chuck E. Cheese for adults) Right next to their loading zone there was a sign that read "If you park here, your car will be crushed and turned into Skee-Ball tickets."
How dumb can people be!? If it has a No Parking sign, don't park there!
Sign: DON’T PARK HERE!
Dumb people: that sign can’t stop me because I can’t read!
I've seen on more than one occasion people that drive for Uber or Lyft drop people off at a spot that specifically says No Parking, No Stopping, No Unloading, No Waiting because it is the fire lane at the Mall of America. I usually just take a photo with my phone and then send it to Uber / Lyft for them to sort out.

Why are people so anal about parking spots? It blows the mind.
I got friends who will see someone driving around for a good spot. Meanwhile, they park in the back, walk in, do their shopping, come out and that same person is still driving around.

That first story really hit home. When my dad was fighting cancer he was to weak to even walk so we had a handicap parking sign put directly in front of our house and people used to park there anyway all the time I can’t explain the anger I would have when I would be bringing my dad out just to see some assholes car parked there why people do things like that I will never understand.
My favorite is the tow trucker's story. I laughed.
You say: "This family dedicated this spot for a reason... " That's not how it works (at least here). You apply to the city, and if they agree that you need a handicapped spot near your house, they will create that spot. Here it can have a licence plate attached: only that specific vehicle can park there.
very much depends on jurisdiction.
Here you can get designated handicapped loading zones, where nobody can park long-term and they're only for handicapped loading. Handicapped tags generally mean freedom from ticketing (which is why they're widely faked here), only a few things can get you ticketed if you have handicapped tags (fire zones, including hydrants, and loading zones mostly, but sadly not parking in the bike lane)

Surprise, Dark Fluff! It takes red tape with city/County departments and filling out forms correctly to their requirements (i.e. doctor's records, etc.) and then they'll gladly put it up for people who need it. It was like that for my Grandpa when he was in New Jersey where there was no driveway parking.

The apartment that my sis and brother-in-law used to live in years ago was near a park that did the 4th of July display. The residents could have family/friends park there, with special tags, all others get towed. There were signs that stated this. We watched as some entitled people park and were told off by a rental manager. They told the RM that they were parking there and had better not get towed. They had the kids in strollers and set off for a closer spot for viewing. We saw the RM call for a tow truck. Tow truck came and took the minivan away. Minutes later, apparently they had forgotten the diaper bag, because 1 of them came back. Started arguing with the RM. Really getting in RM’s face. There was a cop that was patrolling at this time. Gal got arrested.
The loading zone story was interesting. Where I live, a spot designated simply "loading zone" allows anyone to park there at any time BUT only for 15 minutes maximum. Other loading zone signs will have specific rules on them ( only a LZ for designated times, only vehicles marked commercial or courier, etc).
I don't get why anyone would use their cars to feebly assert their dominance. Leaving your car unattended somewhere it's not supposed to be amounts to an engraved invitation for tickets, tows, maybe even getting keyed.
OMG, that SHADE at the end! 🤣
Thanks for making my stay at home time entertaining. Love ya, Fluffster.
My sister has a designated spot in front of her apartment since there are not enough handicapped spots in she lot. People park there all the time and she has to get them towed because 1) if she parks anywhere else she'll be towed and ticketed since that spot is specifically for her car 2) people should know better no handicapped tag/license plate you cant park there.

While parking in a disabled parking spot in germany (without the proper batch) will earn you a nice and expensive towing. As soon the real police or the people from the traffic control (they alot more things in germany beside traffic - it's called "Ordnungsamt" or "Stadtpolizei" - they have alot of the same authority like the "real police" but not all of them) knows about the blocked spot, the write the fine, and order it to be towed - and it doesn't matter if someone needs the spot just in this minute. The car will be towed no matter what.
The fine will be send to your homeadress and you have one week to pay it, and you have to pay the towing company immediately or you won't get your car back (because the police orders the towing there is not much you can do against it).
In my state the first fine is $500 and a tow.
I know that I’m Australia, you can get signage for accessible parking.
My father had a small office in our country town, and they placed two new posts with accessible parking signage right out the front.
Everyone in town knew that this spot was for Dad and only occasionally we would have someone from out of town, or driving through park there.
It was never a bother really. The space was used mostly by my father, but it was also there for anyone else with an appropriate parking permit (or placard as they call them in the USA)
The accessible/disabled parking space made such a difference and it meant the Dad could continue visiting and working from his office for a few years longer than he ever could of without it.
Also, in the city, I had some neighbours, on my street who had a sign posted accessible parking space outside their house.
I’d be very interested to find out where else in the world this is available.
I had a dedicated handicapped spot in front of my apartment. The carport access was not handicapped accessible so I requested a dedicated spot from the city since parking was in short supply. It took 2 weeks.
this is a weird compliment, but a part of the commentary on the first story you made at the end as if you couldnt find the wording you were looking for cheered me up!!!
a lot of times i word things really awkwardly, and due to mental issues and the fact my vocals cords and brain hate to comply with me, making my sentences decently unintelligable and making me saying the opposite words or words that have no relation to the words i want to say, i end up not talking to people verbally a lot.
since i cant really talk to people in a super understandable way, i cant really find anyone in real life with similar issues with wording and speaking. so, hearin a youtuber i watch say awkward wording make me happy! because i do that! thankyoyu!!!!!!!!!!
Where I live, when an illegally parked car is hit, its automatically their fault for parking illegally. I've hit quite a few illegally parked cars in my day when delivering and/or driving a beater.

Worked for towing company that did handicap parking enforcement for the 2 major shopping centers parking lots. First warning was a bright orange sticker attached with industrial glue warning with your info has been recorded & is subject to be towed at owners expense. $255 later (if it makes it to the yard & with in 3 days for storage) they can get it back. Can't even imagine how many times people have come in really pissed but they made the choice to park there & get caught.
Yes, you can have a designated disabled parking spot in any location it is truly needed within a community or private home. And yes, if someone else uses them without permission, you can call the police so long as you have proof. (Always gotta have proof) You should never mess with people who 'NEED' these spots, because the fines and embarrassment isn't worth it. I'm disabled, but not enough to where I can't function in the day to day; I don't use disabled parking spots unless I REALLY need too. I leave them for the ones who truly need to be closer to their destination or home.
I got a good story over a parking space feud that took place some 30 odd years ago.
When I was a kid my family lived in a huge apartment complex, the building had 4 floors and consisted of 4 separate stairwells with 8 apartments each. I lived in the stairwell that was on one end of the building. Each stairwell had it's own house association and every summer there was 1 day set aside for doing light maintenance and cleanup on our part of the building: powerwashing, cleaning, fixing, painting etc. Everything light that the residents could do themselves. This one day we had a lot of leftover white paint so we decided to mark each parking space with the number of the apartment that used it and since nobody protested it was the last job of the day and then we had a big BBQ.
Now the important part is that the apartments didn't "own" the parking spaces on the parking lot, the entire parking lot belonged to the apartment complex as a whole but each parking space was not "assigned" to a specific apartment. For years there had been this silent agreement on what part of the parking lot "belonged" to what stairwell and which parking space each apartment used. Our stairwell used the 10 parking spaces that were on our side of the parking lot and for the parking spots then the 2 spots closest to the building were for guests and then the 4th floor got the 2 spaces after that and then the third floor etc. It wasn't enforced, and we couldn't enforce it to begin with but it was just a general agreement between everybody that this was the way to utilize the parking lot since it was logical. And since not every apartment in the complex owned a car there was always plenty of free spaces available anyways.
A few days after we had marked the spaces a "neighbor" from the Stairway on the complete opposite end of the building came knocking on the door of our house association chairman and he went on this tirade about how what we did by marking the spots was illegal and that we couldn't do it and had to clean it up and yadda yadda yadda, he was very loud and obnoxious and since we lived across from her we heard the entire thing. Apparently the guy came a few times annoying our chairman and being a pest but everybody just ignored him.
And then he started to park in "our" spaces, every day he would park his old beatup rustbucket of a car in one of "our" spaces and he would walk all the way across the lot to his side of the building. Remember when I said that not everybody owned a car and there were usually free spaces available?, yeah so what he was doing was annoying but not really a problem. I heard from the chairman that the guy called the city and even tried calling the police but all they did was contact her to ask about what was going on but they didn't do shit about his complaints, as far as they were concerned our marking of the spots were just scribbling on the ground.
This went on for weeks.. until the guy decided to up his antics and he started to double park, after a few days of him doing that my sister gets fed up with him so she decided to move her tiny compact car and park it right behind his car. Two of our neighbors caught on and parked their cars on either side of his car so he was boxed in.
Now queue the annoying guy coming to complain about us having boxed in his car, everybody decides to ignore him. A few hours pass and he has learnt that the car behind his was my sisters car so he comes knocking on our door complaining and threatening to call the cops and vandalizing my sisters car and whatnot but my sister after having stayed silent at the start of his tirade is now in a total "no fucks given" mode starts screaming and shouting at the guy, she shouts that she was expecting him to come threatening either her or the car so she had a dictaphone recording the threats he made at the start of his tirade (this was before the "digital age" so all we had were analog tape recorders). They continue shouting at one another for 5 minutes and it ends with the guy leaving and my sister not moving her car.
Now about half an hour later the guy comes knocking again and now he is literally crying and begging my sister to move her car, that he has an important job interview to go to that he must show up for. My sister, still in her 'no fucks given' mode, slams the door in his face and locks the door.
few minutes after that we hear this very loud screeching sound, like a pile of metal being dragged along the ground. The guy drove over the very tall curb to escape, scratching the underside of his car to shit and going along the pavement which ran alongside the parking lot until he could drive onto the parking lot again over the curb in front of a free space.
The guy stopped parking on "our" side of the parking lot and we never saw or heard from the guy again, and that's how my sister ended the parking lot feud that lasted around 3 months.
Me : Oh, more stories already done on other channels. A mix of new and heard previously, truthfully.
Also me: *likes Darkfluff, so listens anyway, and enjoys*
Fluff doesn't censor anything
I've thought about getting my city to implement a handicap spot outside my house because people keep parking in my spot to go across the street and my son uses a wheelchair.
Unfortunately the building across the street is a heart center and most the people who park in my spot have handicap place card and are parking in the street so they can smoke while someone is in the heart center.
If your son needs it, then why not? If you request it and it gets denied, at least you tried, right?
Please keep posting, it makes my day!
All those parking stories make me weep. They remind me of the day when a "hormonally challenged young man of migratory background" parked his "Bavarian potency enhancer" (aka BMW 3er with all the works) in front of a yard exit. Told that "he is blocking Ute" he made some snide remarks, suggeste the "slut could slide over his Beemer" and left.
Much to our frustration he managed to race over a busy 4-lane street, jump in his car and race away before that could happen. We would have LOVED to see Ute slide over his car...
Ute is the nickname of the 45to Jagdpanther of the WTS Koblenz...
LMAO @ BOOGER EATERS.
My grandma has a disable parking spot out side of her house. But the neighbors park this old plumber van (their builders ?) . After 1 year my grandma got revenge by putting up CCTV and she caught one of the people living their doing illegal activitys and the police came and fined them for the car and the person doing illegal activitys got arrested
0:19 I've seen compilation video of people who can't drive or park, and do so maliciously, and the majority of the compilation takes place in Utah, and most of the clips have people parking just right, to where the offender would have to climb through the front passenger door to get into their car
What are they called?
A HC spot in a neighborhood is for HC folks, though it means ANY HC person. We had a spot directly at our door.
There was always someone else in it. The sign needed an address on it.
Be forewarned.
10:52 They took offense and your fence lol
I literally wake up excited for these
The story about the car being towed actually reminds me of a TH-cam channel I watch sometimes.
Basically their entire channel is videos of people's cars getting towed when they think it's ok to park their vehicles in the parking area in the back alley of their business because it's close to a few bars etc. They have big signs up saying "no parking, for employees only, etc" but these people still park their and the videos are hilarious when these hammered people come back and find their cars missing.
It takes a lot of work and red tape to get a handicapped parking spot but what most people are confused about is that you can't get the spot just for your family member. Rather, the parking spot is converted to a general 'handicapped/disabled parking spot". This means that anyone with a disabled parking permit can park there.
Yayy!!! I left Mean Girls to watch this. I just LOVEEEE that movie.
the third story... my house has space for one vehicle on the street (the garage and driveway is used by by my roommates). Several houses down, there is one place that usually has 4-6 vehicles parked on their driveway (just barely fitting onto the driveway, in front of the 2-car garage). What really annoys me is when they decide to have others over for several days. Usually they are there friday before I arrive, or when I'm out on saturday, and then they don't move till monday or tuesday, making me park 4 houses down, as that's the nearest space I can fit, which doesn't have a resident car (not going to be mean and take another's spot myself...) Misses me off, but there's not really much I can do.
I've found a sure way to get people to park in a certain area.....Put up NO PARKING signs there.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Then put in small text: only park here if you want your car towed lol
Dark Fluff, where I live there are restrictions where large trucks can go when there is an autistic child living there. There are also fines levied when you defy the signs. These signs are not given to anyone who wants them. I don't know how to get them, but I have seen them. I have no sympathy for such human garbage. I love your videos. I am depressed more so than normal and you keep me upbeat. I will also tell you and anyone who reads this that Entitled Behavior is NOT new. I always referred it to someone thinking that the law or the rules don't apply to them. Peace!
My godmother had a handicap parking space in front of her house. The city usually makes one for home owners that have a life long disability. It’s a process
I hate it when friendly neighbors suddenly shun you amd never tell you why. That happened to me 10 years ago and it still bothers me to this day because I never found out why.
Probably something your brother Tim did with his stores...…...
I have a feeling that last post could have been avoided if there had been an attempt at communicating. A 'why are you doing this' would be enough to gauge what's the matter and whether revenge was neccesary...
Hello Darkfluff I love listening to your stories keep up the good work
Yes, if you have no way to get into your home, you can request a cutout installed and a disabled spot put in. But be aware, the disabled parking spot can be used by other disabled folks. Basically, the spot does not belong to you.
Oh dear Cthulhu as someone who works retail I deal with this everyday and even have them come into the parking lot the wrong way
I get what your saying about the disabled parking spot but please remember it’s not your spot. It’s for any disabled vehicle to use . That guy in the car was an ass for using and not even looking for signs.
Hey there, Fluff, if you're reading, I just wanna tell you that you are amazing and I absolutely love your content. You always post videos when I'm doing homework, a reason why I can still do it is because if my daily dose of satisfaction, and I thank you for it! Stay home, and stay safe!
Regarding this, I live in an apartment complex, and regularly there is a pair of cars from the same unit that like to park in the handicap parking spot by the rear of the buildings, and double park in the no parking zone without a placard.. or plates. Should I report this, or leave material for my local Literacy Improvement Group and or vision services?
Report it
I rely love these stories. It is great hearing about stupid people getting what they deserve.
My pet peeve is motor cycles or other vehicles parking in the stripped zone between the handicapped spots. They are for wheel chair van with ramps so those in wheelchairs can get out! Or for people like me that need their doors completely open so I can get out of those that need walkers, not for entitled parking. Saw a teacher in a wheel chair from out local school blocked out of her van by a grocery shopper. By the time he got out, she waited for him to come out, blocked him with the wheelchair and chewed him up and spit him out until the cop came and wrote him a $400 ticket.She might have been in a wheel chair, but he was terrified of her! Bet he never did it again!! Oh, and the stripped zones are not for those with placards when they can’t find anything else!!
Great video. Just to let you know that here in the U.K., the word 'handicapped' is considered discriminatory. It originated from when disabled people were forced to beg on the street 'cap in hand'.
I find it amazing how these people are shocked when they get a ticket or get their car towed when they purposely park illegally as if consequences dont affect them 🤦🏾♂️
After all of these revenge stories that Dark Fluff has read, I would not like to get on the wrong side of him.
Hey! I love your channel! Is mostly about your voice, pronunciation and lighter tone, not just the stories.
By the way, once some officers ACTUALLY painted a reserved parking lot arround my parked car and gave me a fine. I was furious. I never could prove anything and learned how Chilean law is just given on a friend to friend basis. Si you know that this happen to the wrong people :c
Great stories, first rate revenge!!!
I had one for my elderly parents and never, not once, did I use it, if they weren't with me. In fact, at the mall I always dropped my mom off and parked somewhere else. Our mall, is still a walk to the door.
I bet the neighbors had an issue with the fence because they thought it was o- *fence* -ive
😂😂😂
Yup , with a written letter by a doctor stating medical /safety reasons for having the spot city / town usually accept n approve.
Dude I love your channel it’s my favourite.❤️😊
The dispatcher in the second story is a FUN person.
The guy that parked in the handicapped spot could have made a public apology, and shown that he actually cared. I bet he wouldn't have had to move, if he'd tried hard enough. But he didn't care to. That's his fault.
I remember one day at Walmart and a truck pulls into the expecting mother parking spot. It happens to be a over weight man. A old lady yelled at him, you can't park there? He told her to STFU. Big mistake on his part he yelled just cause your fat and stupid man doesn't make you a pregnant woman. He got so embarrassed he got in his truck and left right away without going into the store
Oh yeah live in or near a retirement community and you'll see a lot of handicapped spots in front of houses
Thank you so much for reading everything for me otherwise I wouldn't have been able to fathom what he video was about!
Yeah, you can petition for one to be installed but the condition is that anyone with a handicap plaque can park in it. So if you have other neighbors who are handicapped they'll just use up the space.
It depends on where you live. In some states the handicapped sign is connected to a particular permit or hangtag number. Only a car with that tag number can park
there. Anyone who parks in that space must show the matching number hangtag or placard or be ticketed and towed. It does not mean anyone with a handicap can park.
@@debshortstoph84 Thank you: that was very informative.
In my city (I know of this building, there could be others. But I speak of what I know) a building near my office has a cemented area between the building and the road. This is used for parking of 2-wheelers. But because there are many offices in the building, each having many employees with 2-wheelers, that space is always full. Visitors are helped by a security guard who moves the vehicles around to maximise the vehicles being parked. Any vehicle parked on the road is towed.
A towing truck company working on contract with the traffic police on commission basis. But this towing company owner is corrupt and greedy. He talked the building security guard into corruption himself. The security guard would shift several vehicles from the parking lot onto the road just before the arrival of the tow truck (maybe the driver would inform the security guard that he was on his way within 10-15 minutes). All the vehicles would be carried away. This stopped when the building management put up security cameras and saw what the guard was doing. The mobile phone of the tow truck driver was examined by the police, which showed the calls he made to the guard just prior to his reaching the building revealed the whole conspiracy, and got the guard and the tow truck driver arrested.
