My complaint of the day!

[472 R/T SE]

The fat lazy f&(ks who park in handicap parking stalls with no permit on the rear view mirror. 

It's always fun asking them if they're disabled and need the stall.  Now I don't mind parking out in the able body area cause a little exercise does a person good.  It's the Joe who parks his rig right up next to my driver's door that keeps me from dismantling/assembling my chair that pisses me off.

Bathroom stalls that are so small my daughter would have a tough time moving around in.  I just park it right in the door opening and start doing my thing.  If other folks don't like that I'm doing it out in the open, tuff shit, build an ADA bathroom.

Insurance companies that don't want to pay.

When I do walk with my crutches, it's the folks who stare and pull their kids up close to them like I have leprosy or something.

Do I keep going or is this one a day?

Getting in a fight with a girl that means alot to me over something TOTALLY stupid

Bronzey,stay away from girls... they are trouble..  They will divorce you and then take your charger..  But i DON'T mean start chasing guys either..

Listen to him, Not only will they take your car, they'll take your house, your savings account and half of your pension. You are way better off just going and renting one now and then. 

Not to throw off the thread, but my buddy just got divorced.  They have 3 kids, he has to pay 800.00 a WEEK!!  The guy is slightly depressed.  Now what do you think about greasy burgers?  We don't have them in CT( I think) .  To me Wendy's rules, Taco bell next.  No gripes, except my Charger is wearing me down slowly.   

[Tilar]

How can they justify that it costs $800 a week to raise 3 kids?!?! 

[1969chargerrtse]

I'll respond once because I don't want be a high jacker.  Got me?   He takes home about 1,100.00 a week.  He went back for a review of the case and he only has to pay 760.00 now.  I have 3 kids and this is why my wife is the most wonderful person in the world and I would do anything to make her happy.  The saying around here goes, when she's happy, were all happy.

Cell phones drive me nuts. I have one, people take them for granted now also. Today the family and I went and got some ice cream, place only had two other customers in it also, seats 100 at least. Long story short, guy is on his cell phone talking top of his lungs to whomever, as he came towards our station, I said *hey* take your conversation somewhere else, he looked at me telling who ever to hold on, hes gotta kick some ass, my wife then freaks out, he said its a free country buddy, I said your disturbing us take your phone call out side, its -9 FYI, he said no, I said then hang up or leave, he walked away, my wife was pissed,embarrassed and red faced,at me, I was calm, I dislike being disturbed, ha-ha. He was rude and I handled it my way, I don't always say something, but today was just one of those days. November 1995 I could have been killed in a car accident if I had been hit on the drivers side of the car and not the passengers side, guy ran a red light doing 45 to 50 mph, I was in a '78 Datsun 280z, he had a new Caravan. He was yakking away on his cell phone during the time of accident.

The fat lazy f&(ks who park in handicap parking stalls with no permit on the rear view mirror. 

What's worse than that is the people who have the permits, park in the handicapped spots, then go sprinting into the store. They are either taking advantage of a relative's permit or their temporary condition is fixed.

They should be shot.

hey not trying to be a bitch or anything, but I have a DP placard and park in the DP parking spots and I do not always use my cane.  IF I know that I will be in and out I don't use it.  I only need it when I am going for longer than 20 minutes...and I park in the DP spot regardless if I am using my cane in case of an episode.  I just never know.....Really I should never be without my cane, but I can't stand using the thing...I can't stand the "you look fine to me" stares that I get all the time.  It just sucks.  People just don't realize that just because I LOOK fine and healthy doesn't mean that I am.  There are tons of disabilities that are like that....people need to get a clue...that is my rant of the year.......GOOGLE MS ASSHOLES!!!

Where on earth did I say anything negative about folks who show no visible signs of a disability and they park in a DP stall?    I didn't.

If you're gonna park in the stall you need a placard, PERIOD.  I don't give a shit if you're a world class sprinter and you park in the stall, you better have a placard.

Wow, this took a turn big time. So having MS, should she even be driving then? Sounds like something could happen at any time and that wouldn't be good for people on the road. If she is getting a ride, then she could be dropped off at front entrance and worries are over for getting around w/cane when parking is an issue.
No doubt Mike, we need another new topic already,ha.....
I vote no.

Oh man here we go. 

[69bronzeT5]

I can see the lock coming. . It went from a complaint about White Castle to a fight over MS and DP parking spots.

[472 R/T SE]

Oh man here we go. 

Why...was there anything I said that's not true? 

[1969chargerrtse]

I wasn't worried about you.

[firefighter3931]

You guys are taking this out of context. Chargerwife wasn't calling anyone here a-holes. That reference was towards the poeple who stare at her assuming she's not disabled because she looks OK. That's the way i read it 

Relax fellas....have a beer and chill.

Ok, my rant my be misperceived but here it goes...... if you come to our country, please for the love of god, speak our langauge!     Nothing is worse than trying to give emergency directions to someone and they look at you like you have two heads or trying to ask what their location is on the other end of the 911 phone and then have them tell you everything BUT where they are.  Welcome to our country, speak the language, or get the f out!  (rant over)

Hey, ever been in a Wal-Mart and they read a specail over the intercom, here in Alaska they'll speak the add in three different languages, I was shocked, I agree w/you also, if I lived where they did, I would have to learn they're language in order to survive, so why can't they do the same here?

My only issue is numbness along my left side...I drive a automatic not a manual car so I can still drive.  I am no danger to other's on the road........I do have cognitive problems and a few other problems, but nothing that would impair me from driving at this stage.

[8WHEELER]

OK I will join in, while we are on the subject......... being paralyzed ''for the last 23yrs'',
I really do need a handicapped stall, I wish to hell I didn't. l also ''need'' the stall with hash
marks, I am pretty sure most people have no clue what its like to be ''permanently'' in a wheelchair
needing that extra parking room. Actually 99% of people that see my van, have never seen anything
like it........  what also gets me, is that these same people can park a couple stalls farther away with
no problems. but know, if there is a handicapped stall one space closer, they take it everytime. But not
me, I NEED the stupid stall or I am SOL. I wish there was somehow, they could make a handicapped stall
for people who have some problems walking........ and a permanent wheelchair person stall, for people
like me, that absolutely need a hash marked stall, but it will never happen.

I know people see my van closed up, and would never think it is a handicapped van. Heck I
could not tell you how many times I have come out of a store or something, and there is a
car or motorcycle parked in the hash marks right next to me, and there is no way I can
get in my van, and 95% 0f the time I am out and about by myself, my wife loves the
fact that I can run arrands for her as well, and she does not have to drive me around
everywhere, infact I do 99.9% of the driving no matter what car we are in, she likes
it that way, and that works for me...

This is my daily driver, and the reason I need a legal open Handicapped stall a 91 Caravan. Believe me
I wish to hell I never needed one. Oh, by the way I drive from my wheelchair and go..

I find it refreshing when someone who actually needs a handicapped stall gets it and uses it. What annoys me is when someone who obviously does not need the stall and uses it anyway just to convenience themself. Basically, what Mike said below.

On the flip side, it also annoys me when there appear to be 89 more handicapped stalls/parking spots than there needs to be so that even when you go someplace during the busiest time of day it seems only 2% of the spots are being used. I know it's all based on required percentages of parking spots but don't they take the type of business into account when creating those requirements?

Funny ,  but you ever think that the people behind you in line are thinking the same about you ? What is everyone in such a hurry for today ? In a big hurry to get through your life ? Life goes by fast enough . 

I always think about the people behind me so I get out of the way asap. It's not about a lack of patience on the part of the people forced to wait, it's about the arrogance and lack of consideration on the part of the people holding everyone else up.

[Chris G.]

you ever think that the people behind you in line are thinking the same about you ?

Yes, I think about the person behind me, which is why I would never place a $50 order at a drive-thru. If everyone (at a drive-thru) had that same logic, there would not be a complaint from me or anyone on this planet.

I'm not in a big hurry to rush through life. I'm not sure what waiting at a drive-thru for 20 minutes has to do with me trying to rush through life?

Ok, how about the ass clown that makes you late to work cause they saw a freakin snow flake or two land on their windshield.  10 miles an hour in a 45 zone  then just as the road opens up into two lanes "ass clown" catches up to his brother, "ass hat" traveling at 7mph and decides to pass him but chickens out at the last second. now ass hat and ass clown are blocking both lanes of a 45mph zone doing 7!!!....MORONS! it's raining!! If you're so scared of driving in the snow, stay home and take the attendance infraction so the 9 people behind you don't get one!

Besides, if you're that bad at judging the road conditions and the snow actually does start to stick you're going to crash anyway. even if you are only traveling at walking speed! take the bus! you'll still have to walk home when it gets stuck, but at least your car won't be smashed.


Wow!  I feel better...thanks

[greenpigs]

  My complaint is when the boss says the shop is on 65 hrs a week and he puts 45 in and goes home. Then at the monthly meeting asks for our ideas to make things run better..how about putting the hours everyone else does and see how productive you are.
