Would you say something?

I was leaving softplay yesterday, walking to my car when I saw a woman pull into a regular space next to a disabled parking space. Thing is she parked horizontally and was partially in the disabled bay itself not just on the zigzag bits! There was plenty of other spaces available and this disabled bay was the only one remaining.

Would you have said something?

Yes I would. I would have said "ooh sorry, just to let you know you're blocking the disabled bay a bit". If she didn't do anythin, I'd get in my car and before setting off I would phone the soft play and let them know, so they can tell her to move her car. Selfish bugger.

Nope I wouldn't have. You dont know if she is disabled

Arh sorry just reread your message and noticed she was actually over 2 bays. I still wouldn't have said anything though

I did say something, wasn't sure if I was being an interfering moose or not.

I was polite and said 'excuse me, I think you've parked over the disabled bay' . I got 'I know, I need the room to get my baby out', I was a bit annoyed and quipped back. 'We've all got babies here and need space but disabled people need it more, I've been here all afternoon and I've seen lots of disabled people using the spaces. You're stopping someone from using one.'
She promptly told me to F off and mind my own businesss. Probably deserved it but I can't believe how entitled some people are.
I was feeling petty so went back into soft play to let them know and left Angry

Ugh what an entitled arsehole (her).

What a bitch, you didn't deserve the fuck off.

Mayberry she'll think twice about it next time, despite the bravado.

She's a bitch. I might have politely tackled her if I was leaving so could be confident she wouldn't scratch my car.

UppityHumpty · 13/04/2017 12:36

I would have keyed her car when she went in, smashed a light.

You were not being petty, you were being a good citizen and trying to ensure that people with disabilities can still go about their daily lives without being blocked from doing so by inconsiderate people. Well done OP.
