We all know how it feels to find the perfect parking spot only to have it stolen by someone else. But what if that parking spot was not just any normal space but an allocated spot for a disabled driver? In this story, we hear of one disabled woman’s struggle to reclaim her proper parking spot that she pays for monthly, but a thoughtless driver constantly steals that. Despite the woman’s best attempts to settle the problem amicably, the driver exploited her compassion and accessibility needs. However, when it became obvious that the driver would not change their ways, the disabled woman decided to take matters into her own hands.
You Don’t Want to Mess With Her
This story was shared by the disabled woman’s daughter on behalf of her mother.
“Some info about my mom: she’s very caring and kind but not someone you want to mess with. She can and will kick your behind, be it with words or pettiness.”
She’s Severely Disabled
Because of her disability, her mother has always had an allocated disabled parking spot outside her apartment.
“My mom’s spot was the second one, so there were two other spots on either side of her. It’s one she paid monthly for.”
Someone Kept Stealing Her Spot – Which Is Paid For
Someone had the audacity to continually steal this woman’s spot – despite the guest spots being freely available.
“Also worth noting that they never had a disabled parking placard on display even to be allowed to park there.”
Nothing She Did Made Any Difference
Despite the woman leaving a friendly note explaining the situation, the driver kept on using her parking spot.
“She quickly realized that it was becoming routine. It happened so often that my mom would be left without her spots for ten hours at a time.”
She Tried to Get the Car Towed, but It Was Too Expensive
All the towing companies insisted that the woman would have to pay to get the car towed – despite being the victim here.
“Finally getting fed up, she parked her car immediately behind the person who was knowingly and routinely taking her paid spot when there was one available just two spots over.”
She Watched and Waited
She sat and waited for her revenge scheme to unfold.
“With her balcony overlooking the parking lot, she got a book and waited.”
The Person Was Really Angry
When the rogue parker realized she was blocked in, she wasn’t happy and tried several methods to get her car out.
“They tried waiting to see if my mom would come out, but she just watched from the balcony instead.”
She Tried Using an Empty Space Beside Them to Get Out, but That Didn’t Work
Then the woman had the nerve to try and ram the disabled woman’s car out of the way – despite there being dozens of witnesses.
“She was forced to pay a hefty fine and the repairs on my mom’s car. She was also banned from visiting the apartment building.”
Don’t Mess With Her and Her Parking Spot!
The woman and her daughter hope this awful driver has learned a valuable lesson. The mother wanted her daughter to share the story online.
So she took to an online forum.
Online Users Had Her (And Her Mom’s) Back!
One user shared an amusing story of disabled parking spot signage creativity.
“An old veteran at a block of flats I lived in put up a sign in front of his disabled parking spot that said, ‘If you aren’t disabled when you park here, you will be when you leave.’ It was remarkably effective.”
These Stories Sometimes Have a Darker Outcome
It might not seem like a big deal to some, but taking a handicapped person’s parking spot can have some serious ramifications. One user shared her story.
“My poor 82-year-old mother had a heart attack pushing her wheelchair-bound husband up a hill for his doctor’s appointment because all the handicapped spots were taken. Thankfully she is still with us.”
All Actions Have Consequences
Simply put, some people will not be messed with.
