Politically incorrect?
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 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!

Live Free of Die
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.

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.

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

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.

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).
