:rofl: :rofl:

Well, do you?

No Ma'am we don't work on BMW's, those are the employee cars. That will $50.00 for the air we put in your tires, please, thanks.








I keed, it's only $25.00 for air. You did want your tires full of air, right?

The scary thing is, it was a serious question.

Are you disabled?

What was she driving?

Oh, and like the "employee" parking section.

Are you disabled?

My thoughts as well.... the wheel and tire business must be a dangerous one

Are you disabled?

Does short count as disabled? :cool

Does short count as disabled? :cool

these days it prolly would. im sure if not you could get the ACLU to take the case.

Can I get them filled with water?
I guess you've never lived in farm country:

That is a sick Z4 M coupe. Anybody's here?

Are you disabled?

No. If I was I would be parked in the handicapped spot, not in between. ;)

No. If I was I would be parked in the handicapped spot, not in between. ;)

That could be your disability, the inability to park, no? ;)

In your next employee meeting you need to address the improper parking of your employees. Not all of you are aligned in the correct direction. That e30 on the end has redefined the parking arrangement. :rolleyes

No. If I was I would be parked in the handicapped spot, not in between. ;)

When this lady comes to get new tires for her slammin' van, she's gonna scratch your 'vert.

After seeing that pic, any Butler GTG planned for this Spring? Though I'm still recovering(sun stroke) from last years.:rolleyes:D

"Why yes. We do business on BMW's so we can afford to do charity work on lesser cars now and then."


BTW, your M3 and the M Coupe could land you some hefty ADA fines ...

Um, yeah. .gov, not .org.

No doubt, eh? I remember hearing one door-prize winner say "To hell with the free tires, do you have any sun screen?"

That was one hot meet though.:rolleyes

You guys need some of this (http://www.scotts.com/smg/products/Miracle-Gro/plant_food/trees_and_shrubs/image/Miracle-Gro-Tree-_-Shrub-Fertilizer-Spikes-std.jpg) before your next one.

Um, yeah. .gov, not .org.

I thought it was funny. :embarrasm

You won't when you see the fines. My client just got hit with several fines because his employees were using the handicapped spots in front of their building.

Big $$.

This is true. I knew a guy who parked in one in front of his bank just to get out and walk up the the ATM. It was two hours before the bank opened, and he didn't even shut the car off, but up rolls teh po-leece, and wrote him up.

His 60 seconds and $60 bucks from the ATM cost him over $200 of a fine. :eyecrazy And that was easily a dozen years ago. The fines have probably gone up by now. :ponder


He didn't park there again, though. :rofl

Wow, tough crowd today. It's Friday, people. Lighten up.

That ticket now is a minimum of $500 IIRC.

It's been a very long week.

You folks are mixing up the issue. I am not referring to the criminal fine that you get when you park in handicapped spot. There are severe state and federal fines (many, many thousands of dollars) when businesses either don't have the required handicapped spots or misuse the ones they do have.

I just forwarded this picture to a buddy in the state enforcement agency to get an estimate of what the fines would be in this instance.
















(just kidding)

:devillook

You can say that again.

:devillook

I understand there are separate fines for individuals who park in handicap spots who do not have a handicap permit as well as businesses who allow employees to park in said places or do not have the proper number of spaces, improper signage or markings, etc. The "fine" quote was in response to DW's story and statement concerning the fine would probably be more now for an individual improperly parked in a handicap spot.

Oh and :buttrock nice funny there too.



You can say that again.

Ok, It's been a very long week.

It is indeed a $500 minimum fine for individuals!

A few weeks ago (while working Valet) at an anonymous location, we had the lot blocked off with NO self-parking. We were using Handicap spots as well, being that if anyone was handicapped they would have an easier/shorter walk from the Valet drop-off vs. the H-Cap spots...

Well one 'older' lady didn't see it that way and started causing a scene, reciting ADA and City codes, laws, paragraph #'s etc... then she called the police!

Cops came out and made us move all vehicles from H-Cap spots, (even though nobody could use them anyway!) threatened us and the owners of the location with fines for each car in violation, and sat there the rest of the night to keep an eye on the spots.

Apparently this is no laughing matter and the old 'crips' are very territorial about their spots!

I could care less, but it was a relevant story that (IMHO) was worth sharing :shifty

Big $$.

What? The fines or your bill?

Wow, tough crowd today. It's Friday, people. Lighten up.
Not hatin' on you, G. Just mentioning a related story, that's all. :wave

Dayum! :eyecrazy

Yes.

Well, it's all a moot point anyway, as I'm not parked in a handicapped spot, remember? :stickoutt

Unfortunately the blue hashed lines still qualify as part of the handicap spots since they are there to allow people with vans and lifts to exit their cars safely. But hey G, do whatcha gotta do!

Fair enough. But Craig just left, so the other unloading zone is empty. Looks like we're good to go now. :deadhorse:

It is ok for G to park there due to his vertical HANDICAP

Apparently this is no laughing matter and the old 'crips' are very territorial about their spots!

Yeah they are. I parked in H-cap spot at work to run in and grab something and these guys were waiting for me when I came out.

Zip it. reading previous pages is for suckas

About 2 years ago I recall a incident at a local McDonalds where the manager had called the chamblee police to enforce a handicapped parking violation and police stated they do not enforce parking violations on private property.

Is that true?

I see the spots mis used all the time at Walmart and other such places with seemingly little enforcement which would lend me to believe they dont.

FU :mad I'm in a good mood! ;)

You knew what I meant.

I have blue shoes.

Is "vertically challenged" a recognized handicap? :silly

Didn't mention it to be a downer folks. I just saw Penn & Teller's Bullsh*t show last night on the ADA and fines. Apparently they can get into the $50K range for businesses.

I *like* getting my sweet tire deals, great service, and nitrogen refills (which reminds me ...) so I wanted to save your loc a potentially career-ending fine.

They could have a field day over here in Brookhaven/North Buckhead. I see assholes parking in those spots just about everyday.

Not true at all. They enforce the laws on commercial property all the time...just not on residential (e.g. apartment complexes).

Those are more of a marketing gimmick appealing to the professional uteri. I've never seen or heard of a legal statute establishing privileged parking for the chronically knocked-up. I expect the worst that could happen if you were found to be parked in one of those spaces is that some waddling gestator might shoot you a dirty look, question the legitimacy of your parentage, or declare you to be an orifice within one's gluteal cleft.

The good news is, you can probably outrun them with little more than a casual stroll. :rofl

I simply have zero pity for the career breeders. That condition has a known cause, known consequences, and several known preventative and/or curative measures. It's not an automatic grant of some kind of supernatural nobility. They can accept the trials and tribulations, or STFU. Either way, I don't see why anyone should get a special parking space just because Johnny One-Eye coughed one up in the entertainment center, and it stuck.

LOL :rofl Is there a Mrs. Wha w/ a miniWha we can get an opinion from? :D

That lady was being a bitch just to be a bitch, though. Common sense has all but completely left our society and those in the minority who have nothing better to do than stick their noses into other people's business, unfortunately, seem to have the upper hand in many of these situations. Reminds me of home owners associations...
