Did you know…a lot of people who use wheelchairs may be able to walk, at least a little? Things like heart problems, arthritis, bad back, etc. Ignorant people always think I am faking when I stand up from mine to reach something or walk a bit–they don’t realize many of us can, and that it helps to be as mobile as possible, get the blood flowin’ and help prevent clots, etc.

Just because a person is handicapped doesn’t mean they’re crippled. They’re probably just handicapped enough that walking a long distance is too difficult.

Ya, I think it is actually kind of a win.

The “Fail” is that the person is NOT handicapped. They parked the motorized wheel chair in the spot and walked inside the building. LOL

Your comment is an OBVIOUS WIN.

I’m surprised nobody else, including me, picked up on that. We fail.

Stop for a moment and consider that the person who is handicapped isn’t in the chair.

I know people who are disabled. This isn’t telling them that they’re not, or that being disabled is funny. It’s just an ironic image. Don’t lose your sense of humor. As somebody who’s own disability isn’t physical, but there nonetheless, I can tell you that it’s better to laugh at the way the world doesn’t work than to mourn the way it does.

No, no, no! This is a lateral thinking WIN!

Nobody specified a kind of vehicle.

Think that person is perhaps in there renewing their handicapped status?

This is a win in so many ways.

So many funny ass Trolls hanging around here trying to be clever. With a few notable exceptions, such as Aiofe & Mr.Zoom plus Barb here at the end, I wonder how many of you stopped to consider the endless difficulties of actually being disabled before you decided to impress the other trolls with your wit.

Being disabled myself, I also wonder how long it would take you to lose that sense of humor if you lost your health. I’d give you a year at best.

OHMYGOD! I KNOW THAT BANK!
I live about a mile away from that bank. I recognize that apartment in the background!

Anyway, I don’t know if this is a handicapped fail, a parking fail, a mental fail, or whatever, but I think it is close to epic. I think if it was a blizzard it would push it to epic status.

The sidewalk looks pretty handi-capable to me. The operator could have ridden up closer to the entrance. My guess is this is the work of a not-quite-stand-up comedian.

Weirdly, some guides to using mobility scooters actually suggest this. It’s completely silly though, as it is perfectly acceptable to park them on pavements and not take up a much needed disabled parking space. I’m both a mobility scooter driver and a Blue Badge owning car driver (the UK/EU disabled parkng permit).

Also, any half-decent disabled parking sport should have hatched markings on both sides and the back.

If a store has nearby motorbike spaces, mobility scooters can be parked in them as well. The amount of times motorbikes think it’s okay to park in the hatches outside my car meaning I can’t get in! Grrr!

Anyhow. I have a short car, I’d just ‘block them in’. Seeing as they can drive on the pavement anyhow! (And no, I’d never park my mobility scooter like that!)

Yep, I have a friend with MS who has to use a scooter most of the time, but, on the rare occasions she’s able to, she will walk short distances just to feel somewhat independent and “normal”. Unfortunately, she’s sometimes forced to leave the scooter behind and walk, even though it’s extremely difficult, because a lot of buildings are not scooter accessible. My guess is that the building in the pic isn’t scooter accessible, so the owner was trying to manage the best he/she could in a bad situation.

I have to comment on this. I am a wheelchair user, drive a “regular” car with hand controls (Chevrolet Cobalt), but the reservation (when on my car’s left side) is useful to me because it provides enough room for loading/unloading my chair. If I got a ticket for parking in a space with one of these reservations, I would fight it.

At the risk of enduring the shame inherent in revealing my appalling inability to successfully solve (sometimes) the simplest of riddles, along with the fact that I possess (so I’m told) an above-average I.Q., coupled (trio-ed?) with my talent for composing long, often endless, run-on, and redundant sentences at a moment’s notice . . . *takes breath, but faints anyway* . . . *wakes groggily* Ummmmmmmmm, wait, where was I? Oh yes. Thank you, Mrn. Quite seriously . . . until I read your question, I STILL had NO clue what that !#$@ common characteristic for the pianobootpenquinwhaletrain group could (even remotely) be. Total *headdesk* moment. Or a seriously low level of caffeine intake . . .

The fail is in the comments. Jesus, how did so much unobservant stupidity concentrate in one spot?

There is a whole class of handicapped people who can walk short distances, idiots. Google congestive heart failure for starters.
