Up yours! You inconsiderate bastards!

Okay okay, this has even less to do with cycling than the Sheryl Crow post a couple of posts down but it's got to do with transport and that's just about close enough for me at the moment.

Forgive the The Sun or News of the World type headline please. Whilst we were out shopping at a branch of a large chain of supermarkets (aka Tesco), I noticed someone swearing and getting very frustrated with a sticker stuck to her car's driver side window. Initially I thought 'Jeez, that's a pretty crappy thing for someone to do as a prank' until I realised she was parked in a disabled parking only space and didn't have the appropriate badge permitting her to do so. Upon further investigation, plenty of cars were in the same boat, with stickers on their windows telling them it was a parking spot reserved for disabled badge holders (or something along those lines but not badger holders) only.

Whilst I'm sure this is something commonplace in countries slightly less stunted in their evolution than Ireland, I was delighted to see some deterrent being implemented for the shits who choose to park in disabled only parking spaces simply because they're too lazy to walk an extra ten metres to and from the shop they're frequenting.


Without getting onto too much of a rant about it, you wonder why such lazy people really need to be bringing their cars everywhere in the first place, never mind parking in spaces allocated for people who require them, as opposed to finding them 'a bit handier'.
