A friendly reminder to all able-bodied individuals: Please do not park in a handicapped space. Even if it's for "Just a minute". In that minute someone who actually needs the spot could come along. Today, I got some petty revenge on someone who decided their time and/or energy was worth more than a disabled persons'.

What's massively frustrating for me is that I won't always need a mobility aide, and that there are people out there who live their whole lives dealing with people like that. So please, don't be a dick.

#disability #PSA #i had surgery #and am using a walker full time until I'm recovered #I don't mean to speak for those with full time disabilities #but i'm so fucking frustrated #every time an able bodied person #acts like they're MORE #on any other day i might've let it go #but nope #gal parked right in the only handicapped spot in front of the pizza place i needed to get to #luckily there was a space right next to her drivers' side #problem is #i need A LOT of room to get out of my car #i almost have to open my door all the way #to get my walker out #so I parked as close as humanly possible to ehr #i'm talking inches between our cars #she's outside her car putting her pizza in or whatever #i get out #slam my walker on the ground #(may regret that decision later)#stand up (that ain't easy either)#turn around #look her right in the eye #and say #I'm sorry did I get a little CLOSE?#I thought she was going to have to wait for me tbh #i hope she thinks twice before parking in a handicapped spot again #maybe she'll think of me?
