    The criteria for disabled badge is not necessarily crutches or a wheelchair.

    Some ignorant people on this thread.

    Even if it is not an offense it is still very offensive.

    Would you ride around the freely provided wheel chair in Tesco's if you could walk?

    What? And here was me using my legs all this time.

    Success for me today although it generated a massive argument between myself and the missus.

    Tesco Coonagh Limerick car park struck again. I said on the way out as it was lashing rain "watch now all the disabled spaces will be taken up" and yep way more than usual were taken up yet not one wheelchair, crutch or anything similar to be seen in the store.

    Leaving: I was already a few steps ahead of the missus when a woman in a VW Polo cuts in front of my trolley and into a disabled space. She hops out and says to my missus "oh do you have change for the trolley" to which I came back a few steps

    "HEY, you're well able to walk, get in the shop and get your own change because didn't you park close enough to the door in the disabled spaces anyway?"
    "I'm sorry but I thought I was being courteous in the way I asked"
    "Oh you were but you are being obnoxious parking in these spaces so no, you can walk to the till and ask"

    Missus jaw hit the floor and I walked off trying for some reason to defend myself. :confused:

    I walked two spaces to my car which was parked perfectly legally yet I had to get in the passenger door because the 607 parked across the lines on top of my car. :(

    Success all yesterday in the Crescent, passed about ten cars all parked in those hatched areas by the tracks and every single one had a lovely sticker on their window!

    And what did the nice lady in the yaris in front of me do? She proceeded to park in the exact same area!!:rolleyes:

    Why? I have always thought that showing a reg could place the website on shaky legal ground.

    Lidl, Cobh. Rain coming down at 45 degrees and this considerate person takes two of the spaces closest to the door.

    Woman in SUV parked horizontally across no less than 3 wheelchair spaces outside boots in the Childers road retail park the other day. Had to actually blow the horn to get her to move so that I could park and get my disabled friend out of the car. Went up to her window and started giving her a load of abuse to which she replied 'oh but sure my daughter is only gone in to collect something'. There were about 20 free spaces in the vicinity. The fcucking ignorance :mad: her daughter came out with an armful of chocolate and goodies and got a fierce earful from my friend. Yer one in the jeep drove off with a big haughty head on her..... Ugh!! :mad::mad:

    Taking up two disabled spots while ignoring an empty space doesn't get better worse than that.

    That reatil park gets an unusually large number of disabled visitors, all of whom seem to leave their blue badges at home. Anything marked "set down area" or "pick up zone" seems to be a magnet for parking too.

    Cop on FFS and stop trolling. That is quite possibly the silliest response I have seen to a topic in a while.

    They were parked here for at least 15mins (I pulled in to a space & waited for my daughter to nip in, they were there when I arrived & left)

    Ara pick up and drop off zones are designed for people to abandon their cars anyway. Nobody, generally, patrols the car parks.

    The only big Supermarket car park I have seen them patrol(surface car park) was the Asda in Enniskillen.

    Was in the underground carpark in Tesco Portlaoise. Carpark was very busy. In the first underground level there is a row for disabled parking. There was only one car with a blue badge. Perfect healthy people were parking in these spots.
