Thread: Are they handing out disability parking plaques for xmas???

"diabilitt parling plagues for xmas"

A bit of ointment will clear that up

apparently it is worth complaining.

LOL

Seriously others obvioulsy don;t share your ethical poijnt of view as to the difference between "eligible for" and "needing".

Iv'e seen and heard of this quite often.

The people who are disabled don't want to take the parking spot thinking there is someone worse off who might need the parking bay.
Yet those who think they are dissabled(short term type) are out for what they can get

Over heard a conversation the other day....
Parking will be hell, I'll take hubbies car as it has the parking permit,
And I'll only be 1/2 an hour so it wont hurt

Wife has a disability sticker permanently in her car for her Mum as we (read she) provides transport for the MiL. Although tempted on occasions, SWMBO has never used it without having her Mum in the car. You do need a doctor to sign off on the Qld. Transport official paperwork to get one, so someone in thier family maybe legal and the bunnings crowd are abusing the rules.

Yeah touchy issue, but there are many I have seen that have them and abuse the system eg can walk around the supermarket etc for hours, carry loads etc, but dont believe they can walk an extra 20 metres to their car.
They should be for people with mobility or perception problems only, not just any disability.

Yeah, I am amazed sometimes when I see so called "Disabled people" walking back to their vehicles. It would seem that being fat is a disability these days however. If thats the case the parking spaces should be at the rear of the carpark to make them walk further.

Well I hobble back to Bunnings to return the tool I bought earlier today again the disabled parking was full.
this time a few very spritey people alighted , with NUM ( normal unrestricted movements and hurried into the store.
They were wearing glasses, so maybe that was their disabilty.????
I was tempted to say something, but I am not judge and jury though.This lot all 4 cars parked were of one ethnic group, must be a coincidence.that they all shopped at the same time and all were disabled.
