Still wrong, but many people would perceive that differently. Again, not defending the behavior (and the driver likely wasn't disabled, just a jerk)... But surely you see how their disability status is relevant in a scenario concerning a disabled parking spot? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) No, it's not relevant at all. It's not a parking spot, handicap or otherwise. You just can't park there, no one can. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 point 3 years ago "Der, there are three spaces.
