Mentally Challenged Parkers

While in McDonalds Shah Alam, this young scrawny punk drove his red sports car and parked in the middle of the two handicapped parking bays. So not only did he park in a space allocated for the Physically Challenged, he also took up two spaces for his precious car. I managed to snap a picture of him as he walked by:

Me: Please don't park in the handicapped bay
Doofus: Huh?
Me: Are you physically challenged?
Doofus: No?
Me: Then why did you park there?
Doofus: Cannot ah?
Me: No!
Doofus: Who are you?
Me: Just a concerned citizen.
Doofus: So? ... Do what you have to do lah
Fine! So I took this picture:
Some may say that technically he is "correct", because the sign says handicapped to the left and right. It doesn't say anything about parking in the middle! Hah. But driver of BJD 8282, you are a true pillock.

A wonderfully bubbly McDonalds waitress walked by offering free refills (FTW), and I described to her the driver who parked there. 2 minutes later, he was seen driving off and going around in circles looking for a proper place to park.

However 15 minutes later, two other drivers decided that they too are handicapped, and parked in the spot.

Drivers of BHW 262 and WMB 4425, you too must be mentally challenged to be so totally inconsiderate. Shame on you. Parking Cretins.

Driver of car BJD 8282. Pray very very hard that you never ever officially qualify to use these parking spaces. It is no fun for a disabled person to travel twenty kilometers to run errands only find all accessible parking spaces taken up by inconsiderate people like you and leaving us no place else to park.

"... its one way for them to catch notoriety and be marked by their behavior and be splattered over different blogs for being shown to be inconsiderate. Shame on them!"
