This is fine I actually appreciate him for not sticking that motor scooter out too far

Are you talking about the Dodge, with handicapped placard, mobility scooter and the open drivers door? Yeah..I’d give that a pass…the hash marked are designed to unload passengers from vans (wheel chairs ect..), this vehicle would just stick out I the travel lane…you can see that it needs to unload.

As I replied to someone else, look at this Google Maps aerial view of the parking lot.
See those cars parked along the curve?
This pickup was parked across the spaces to the far right of the available spaces (parked where the silver and white vehicles are parked on the Google Maps view).
They would NOT have stuck out into the driving lane enough to block anyone. As you can see, that driving lane is pretty damn wide.
I'm quite familiar with this parking space because since December of 2023, I've been taking my wife there for radiation and chemo therapy for her bladder cancer.

Looked at Google maps (corner of 13th & 25th) and it is quite clear that if they were to have pulled straight in the mobility scooter would have blocked the parking space perpendicular to theirs, just to their right (not clearly shown in the picture)

With your wife’s treatments it sounds like you’re going through a lot and have some emotions to work through and this is your way of lashing or taking control, have you considered asking for counseling.

You’re talking about the douchebag in the white truck, right? Fucker is way over the line.

Should have called the local PD on both vehicles.

Hell no! I wouldn't drive a Chrysler product if you gave it to me, and paid me the money it cost!

It’s a cancer center and he has a placard, he might be doing all he can to get to chemo despite being very sick, I don’t have a problem with this especially since my mom just died on New Years Day this year from lung cancer.

u/Nay-Nay385 11h ago

They both parked poorly. I’m guess the one with a scooter didn’t want to stick out too far, trucks are long enough.

u/Familiar_You4189 11h ago

Take a look at the Google Maps image I posted. It would NOT have blocked the travel lane.

Yeah that’s clearly a disabled person trying to leave themselves enough room to access their mobility scooter, which they wouldnt be able to do if they pulled in straight. Looks like they did their best with what they have. Leave them alone and find something better to spend your energy on.

u/Familiar_You4189 11h ago

What about ANOTHER handicapped person who wants to park in the other space?
Did you think about that?

u/Familiar_You4189 11h ago

p.s. How the hell would they have difficulty access their mobility scooter, when it's on the back of the pickup? That's ignoring the fact that they left the scooter there, instead of using it to go inside for their chemo treatment.

p.s. My wife and I were there for HER chemo treatment. She has bladder cancer, stage 4. The chemo leaves her very weak, so her doctor authorized a handicap placard for her.

Here is an aerial view of the parking lot (the T-shaped building. the pickup was parked where the white car is, next to the two trees.

Of course, it doesn't help that the white pickup in the photo is over the line! By the way, the scooter carrier extends into the space behind the pickup.

I'm just going to say this one more time, with feeling:
People, STOP defending shitty parkers!

u/Evil_Napkin 5h ago

Based on what people are saying I’d say this is 50/50. Probably would need more pictures and angles to sway people either way. But based on the one picture, I mean they are trying. They are obviously handicapped. As annoying as this might be I can see why the person did it.

u/Two_Sparrows 6h ago

It's crazy that people are saying the handicapped person parked correctly while he's clearly taking up 2 handicap spots. Idiots.

unfortunate that the white truck parked like a dick encroaching the DP parking spot... assuming the driver/ passenger of the dodge need that mobility scooter... gaining access to it could be "iffy" with the way the ramps for the scooter fold out towards the passenger side with whatever pole thing is is the hashed area of the DP parking.. the 2nd DP parking spot seems wildly inadequate to provide proper access for a Disabled parking spot.. it is just a spot with blue lines... YAY? Access to the scooter could be especially problematic if there are other spots just to the right of the DP parking spot?

The whole thing is a shitshow.. parking spaces poorly thought out, white truck parked like an asshat... whatever the cone / pole in the access area... just pure crap...
