(743 posts)but that would be awesome! Shame is a great motivator. At the stores I have complained to, the manager heads right out to the car. If there's no one in it, they wait. And if security happens by, the manager will flag them down for good measure. It's great to see them dressing down an asshat. Especially when they mention how much they could be fined for parking illegally. I remember I overheard a manager and the security person chewing out someone that had an expired hang tag (like, expired by a year or two) and they really let him have it. They were NOT AT ALL happy that the driver was trying to pull a fast one by using an old tag. I stopped and watched, just for good measure.
I remember being particularly ticked when I saw a 20-something park in the handicapped spot, hop out of his car, and bound in to the store. Pissed me off no end, especially because there were plenty of open spots just 2 or 3 spots further away. Seriously? You should be GLAD that you're healthy and don't need to use a handicapped spot. At any rate, any time he saved by parking there was more than negated by the time he spent talking to the manager.
Mentally handicapped. I think you're on to something. That's probably the case with the guy that my Dad saw park his morotcycle in a handicapped spot.
