AIBU to think it's ok for disabled to park in P&C parking spaces

[SparkyStar84]

After the fun with the last post, going from experience too, I wondered how many would support the notion of the buses legislation AND a disabled person parking in a P&C space where ever, if the disabled spaces are full.

Technically we have the right too with a badge.

I've had issues before where the person with me has parked in a P&C space, without DC present, parents have got quite ratty.

I would have an absolute field day reporting that parking company for discrimination!

ThinEndOfSlipperySlope i didn’t think they could do that!

[BishopBrennansArse]

No I get it. I wouldn't have then and there but God help them if they issued me a ticket - I'd pursue it.

[SparkyStar84]

Excuse me no I'm not. I've not seen any such threads. Last time it was discussed by myself was 3 or 4 years ago. When I wasn't a member of this forum.
So keep your views to yourself Livia. Calling names!

So my question is; why does a none wheelchair user need a) more space, or b) to be parked near the store?

If you actually have to ask this then I truly despair.

[LiviaDrusillaAugusta]

You actually started the thread about the wheelchair space on buses yesterday and I believe you wondered what the reaction would be if you started one of these.

And where have I called you a name? I said you were goady and shit stirring - that's not name calling.

The only name calling I have used is when I said that people who have an issue with people with disabilities parking anywhere is a cunt. Presumably you aren't one of those people? If you aren't then it doesn't apply to you.

And several other people think you are goady too if you bother to read the whole thread so fuck off with telling me to keep my views to myself.

[SparkyStar84]

Oh and Livia - I don't know if you read the other post, but this is 'of interest' because I'm a W/C user & disabled.
We get enough crap in life without get disablist abuse on her too.

[LiviaDrusillaAugusta]

anyone who gives a disabled person shit for where they park is a cunt

My words ^^ so where am I being disablist? I'm agreeing that disabled people can park wherever they like.

I'm actually agreeing with your point of view, just curious as to why you had to start a TAAT that was going to kick off, just like the other one did?

[LiviaDrusillaAugusta]

Can you not see the other posts from other people? I'm not the only one who thought you were stirring

[SparkyStar84]

*here

BTW if you're unsure what I mean, look at the language you used.

Plus no smugness. I'm in a W/C & on strong painkillers for my pain. This morning I woke in the dead of night (not unusual) due to symptoms & pain.

Yes I'm new here, no I didn't know it had been discussed.

Maybe compile a list of topics people are allowed to chat about with links to previous thread on the one you've decided to ban. Not the mods but users.

Here's an idea see a thread and think oh no not again, don't go on it. Easy!

My life will be total crap till I die, as I'm sure it will be for many other disabled users.

So reading about a topic I'm interested in, gives me time to see what the views are.

[SparkyStar84]

You accused me more or less of posting just for the sheer fun of it.

You & your mates who think I'm doing this for fun are welcome to apologise.

(Posting whilst sat in w/c - what a fun life I have!)

[LiviaDrusillaAugusta]

Where have I used disablist language - could you please point that out?

Yet again I agree that people with disabilities should park wherever the fuck they like. I'm agreeing with you.

Please answer me about why you have decided to single me out rather than the other people who have said similar.

Don't accuse me of being disablist - I didn't mention smugness, that was someone else.

[ilovesooty]

I'm afraid that having read your comment on the other thread I came to the same conclusion regarding your motivations.

[LiviaDrusillaAugusta]

Me and my mates???

I will say this once more...

anyone who gives a disabled person shit for where they park is a cunt

See - I'm agreeing with you. I didn't mention anything about smugness, several people have said upthread that they thought you were stirring.

They aren't my mates!

[LiviaDrusillaAugusta]

sooty I assume that was to the OP? #paranoid

[ilovesooty]

Yes Livia - it was to the OP. Apologies for any confusion.

[LiviaDrusillaAugusta]

sooty Sorry, just checking because apparently I'm disablist so who knows

[Sixweekstowait]

livr there's a very good reason why I need to ark as near to ge entrance as possible although I don't ( yet) use a wheelchair but I'll be blowed if I'll explain why

[candycoatedwaterdrops]

You haven't been disablist at all Livia.

[LiviaDrusillaAugusta]

I wouldn't dream of asking Bourdic - it's fairly obvious in general terms. It was a PP upthread who was a little hard of thinking

[TheFairyCaravan]

I agree with you Livia. This thread was posted to goad.
