USA1-

I stop by my Bank yesterday to meet with my Mortgage Adviser. The sign above the closest space to Handicap shocked me. (see pics). So I said screw you and parked my Gas Guzzler in the spot. When I got inside (tongue in cheek) I told them I would sue for discrimination. Grant it. If it was a plug-in station I would understand...but NO...just the best space in the lot reserved for ________ (fill in your own). While leaving... guess what was waiting to pull in. You guess it..a Prius. I got in my Vette and revved to motor like the jerk I am. No response from Mr Prius. It was all in fun...but really.

I don't know if there are any official definitions for the words, but a C7 is pretty low emitting and fuel efficient by my standards.

Next time let the male end of an extension cord hang out of the trunk.

I do the same thing at "expectant mother" spots. http://indianapublicmedia.org/news/p...-stores-17285/

I have yet to do it for the popular food pick up spots... I'm sure the business would want to reserve such parking spots for food pick up but I'm not sure they have the legal right to do that.

BTW: As I see it, political correctness should only be a concern if you're a politician!

Was going to comment then saw your NH tag and thought, "Oh, right."

Btw, the C7 is a fuel efficient vehicle - warp speed with 93 octane.

LOL. I'm going try that and park in all the free Tesla spots we have in our city.

Yes "Live Free of Die"...just don't park your Corvette here...LOL! Truth be told I always park is the farthest parking space possible away from all the "Door Bangers". But when I saw the sign I couldn't resist. I entertain easily.

LOL, not sure if it's politically incorrect, but it is pushing ones luck a little!

The Prius emits a high level of stuffiness.

What a gentleman you are. I bet you wouldn't give up your seat on the bus for an elderly crippled woman either.

Big surprise.

If asked I may be gentlemanly. However when told I say F you! And that, after all, is the point here!!!.

Also, when women start giving the same special treatment to men as they seem to demand from men, then I'll get on board. Meantime, look up chivalry and ask the question "What is the woman's role in chivalry?". The answer is they have no role whatsoever. IOW they get all of the benefits and have to do absolutely nothing for them. Only a fool or a loser would sign up for that deal!

* Actually chivalry historically was very, very different to what most people view it as today which is only the "be nice to women" part. Believing in fairness I'll be as nice to a woman as I would be to a man. Meantime chivalry has a lot to do with gawd for which I'm an atheist and country for which I'm an individual.

I agree 100%. I would have absolutely no problem parking my low-emissions, 30mpg Corvette in such a marked spot.

defaria

Exactly what luck is being pushed? He cannot get a ticket for it because it's against the law. And if any idiot decides to take revenge they are violating the law.

rob62

low emitting is arguable . Non emitting would be absolute.

Too bad someone didn't take the parking space for your mother when preggie. You may have fallen out on your head and your parking concerns would vanish.

That pretty much says it all right there.

defaria

When I was born they didn't have this pregnant mother parking spots. That in itself says something.

And screw you for wishing me harm! That's in itself says more about you than me! (and what it says is that you're a violent individual!) Not doing something to help somebody out (especially when not asked but told) is vastly different than wishing harm come to others. You should be ashamed of yourself! Perhaps you should go to anger management classes cause you sure have exhibited your issues here.

defaria

Exactly it does! Politeness is being asked. Bullying is telling people what you think they should do (and attempting to enforce it). Politeness the reasonable man will respond positively to. Bullying should be resisted. Do you have a problem with any of that? Honestly? Where is that wrong?

And yes I changed it to "may be gentlemanly" because not every request is valid (IOW some people try to take advantage of you).
