Had an disgusting confrontation with a woman outside of 7-11. She had her big ass pick up truck…read moreparked in the only handicapped spot available.
Being handicapped this forced me to wait for someone else to back out, of course it was the furthest space from the store. I checked the truck for handicapped stickers, None. The truck was left running, and it was so big, she took the handicapped space, and the space next to it.
I walked into 7-11 and the cashier looked up to me to greet me. I said, hey, you know there is a Non- handicapped truck running in the parking lot., in the handicapped space. The woman he was checking out turned real quick to look at me, but she also looked away real quick, and said something to the cashier. I could tell it was her. But couldn't hear what she said to the cashier. The cashier just looked at me wide eyed.
I was in there another 5 -10 minutes. When I made it to the counter. I apologized to the cashier, if I embarrassed anyone, but that they really need to police those spots. That people like me who can get hurt trying to maneuver a parking lot. They are saving themselves from a potential law suit, should a handicapped person get hurt, because they let anyone park there. He shook his head in agreement. It was obvious he did t want to be involved at all. Shame 7-11, shame on you for not sticking up for your customers. I said my peace, used my voice kindly. Thinking that's all I can do. I turned and left. Disappointed in this woman and in 7-11.
When I walked out this woman was still hanging out, outside of her truck. I went to my car and started driving off. But.....Being handicapped I couldn't let it go.
I stopped and rolled my window down and yelled, Hey! she immediately turned and looked at me. Clearly , she heard me. Just like she turned when I talked to the cashier.
I said, you know I'm handicapped and thanks to you being so inconsiderate was forced to park all the way over there.
This woman decided to DOUBLE DOWN! and pretend she was actually deaf. Her deaf act was laughable! Flailing her arms around, and using some dumb voice. It reminded me of the despicable display Trump put on, when he made fun of handicapped people, during an interview. I guess he just made her feel like her White Privilege is more important than us actual handicapped people.
It's bad enough that the government is trying to strip us of our rights. But now his followers can do it now too! Yes, this is not about a parking space. It's about our rights as disabled people, and now 7-11 doesn't care if we make it into their establishment safely or not.
This woman was in for a big Surprise because.....surprise, surprise! I sign ALS. Biotch! Please you picked the wrong ability to mimic!
When she was done flailing her hands around like an idiot. Saying, "I'm sorry I can't understand you." in some weird voice, that I guess she thinks sounds deaf. I showed her what real ASL looked like, and told her she should be ashamed. It's bad enough to take the space, but to PRETEND to be handicapped, that is so insulting!
WOW! Did that piss me off. I told her that FAKE ass ASL and her FAKE deaf voice wasn't cutting it. In my real voice and while signing REAL ASL!
When I whipped out my phone to get a picture of her, her car, the sign, and her license plate. Boy did she run for the hills. I haven't seen a white woman run so fast since this messed up administration started.
7-11, police your own handicapped spots, because if I do it. It's going to be videos on every social media outlet! I'm not playing! You do not want a protest on your corner.
This time I'm going to protect the privacy of this disgraceful woman, who made it worse by pretending to be handicapped. Next one won't be so lucky.
