MikeB4: I am disabled and one of our vehicles is SUV and will park, with permit. I guess I shouldn’t because disabled only have small old hatchbacks.

 

 

I think you've completely missed the point I'm making: Since non-disabled people will use disabled-only car parks, it's not unexpected that not-obviously-disabled people (no disabled permit, no obvious mobility aid) may occasionally get checked up on, in the same way that someone without a badge in a restricted-access building or without a hard hat on a building site may get checked up on. The response if this happens is to say "Here's my permit, but thanks for checking" and continue with your day, not get upset on a web forum about it.

Any article or video titled "X reacts to Y!"

What is the point?

Depends on who's doing the reacting. For example "Classical musician reacts to Deathmetalhammerslayerfistwarrior" then it can be interesting, if it's "Random Youtube personality reacts to other random Youtube personality" then it's a waste of time. Or if it's "Uncle Roger reacts to " then it's damn entertaining. Fuiyoo!

Sounds like profiling to me. Especially when the person doing it has no legitimate reason (it's not their job) and if it happens a lot, then I think it would certainly qualify as something small that could really annoy one.

Stupid auto-correct. I see more and more posts here where an intended word has been replaced with something totally wrong by backward AI. Usually I can figure out what was meant by the context but this gets really annoying. If I have to choose, I prefer garbled misspellings over words that are correct in themselves but make no sense at all in the sentence.

Wanting 1 single tiny little nail for hanging a picture, and having to buy 500 since that's the smallest pack available.

I heard there is a Washington pizza parlour where this can be obtained.

Do you get checked because of the colour of your hair, skin? What the hell has the validity of a disability have to do with the type of car I am in? I have questioned and abused for using a mobility park in one of our vehicles and by a parking warden. I have a permit and I don't need to questioned by ignorant busy bodies. I have enough to deal with I don't need to harassed by bigotted idiots they can and should keep to themselves. My response ***** off not thanks for being a dick.
