To think it takes a special kind of arsehole to fuck up wheelchair access?

Apologies in advance for the rant, but I've had a particularly bad couple of days with arsehole parkers.

Yesterday I took a lady who has a history of strokes and heart attacks to hospital, where she got some fairly bad news. Our local hospitals disabled bays have one yellow box between every two spaces, and you drive or reverse in, depending which side the wheelchair user needs to get out.

Got back to the car with a very emotional lady to find some Arsehat had parked right over the box on my passenger side, leaving a 4ft gap next to his car where there was no box. Had to leave lady halfway down the car park, pull my car out with the hazards on, get her, get her in, reverse back into my space, then take the wheelchair back to customer services. Wanker.

And now today have taken a different lady to a mobility aids clinic and some utter twat has used the dropped kerb/wheelchair access as a fucking parking space. Both of these fuckers had a blue badge themselves btw.

To top it all off this afternoon took my favourite sweary nonagenarian for afternoon tea in the village and 3 fuckwits had parked over drop kerbs or across pavements. Tossers.

I think all new drivers should have to volunteer to take wheelchair users out and about before getting their license, just so they can see what a monumental pain in the arse it is when ramps are blocked. AIBU?

Afternoon all,

We've had a number of reports about posts on this thread which veer pretty close to being disablist.

We don't allow disablism – not only is it against our Talk Guidelines, we also think that such posts don't fit with Mumsnet's basic philosophy of support and advice for all parents.

Our This Is My Child campaign has lots of information about the ways that people can make life a bit easier for disabled children and their parents. Mumsnet's aim is to make lives easier – please do take a look, and think carefully when posting.

Many thanks Flowers
