To think to leave a parking space on host’s drive for the disabled family member with restricted mobility?

Happy Christmas!

I love to understand why the op thinks you have to be a professional to leave a space for a disabled visitor, weird

Now @Kanaloa you really have to stop being so measured and sensible with your advice! People will stop saying MNs deteriorating with all that sense!

So much this!

Boggling mix of idealism and despair otherwise. On the one hand believing people should be thinking of other's daily battles and on the other hand fucking raging with the constant revelation that they're not. And indeed are usually preoccupied with their own daily battles, which don't fit into a neat hierarchy where physical trumps mental or big trumps small because people all have their own levels of coping or not. Surely better to be realistic and communicate and save yourself the rage for more egregious situations.

I thibk here it's the host at fault for not issuing clear instructions

Ie -we need to make room oh drive for x, therefore others cav park in far right for 2 spaces then rest on road.

(As unclear how much room needs to be left and how many others can then get onto drive in addition)

As could be if op arrived first, and parked in best space, no one else can get onto drive past them.

So clear instructions needed by the host to cover this.
