Reply to comment by no_flashes in Mercedes parked on the sidewalk in East Boston with permission from Spinelli's... by njas2000

People in wheelchairs is a rare thing. People in wheelchairs using that particular sidewalk at that particular time is probably rarer than getting struck by lightning.

The only reason ignorant people like you think we're "rare" is assholes like this make it unsafe for us to go out on the streets.

The percentage of people who require a wheelchair is probably 3-4% out of the entire population of Massachusetts. Then distribute that population across the state. It’s rare. Incredibly rare if you zero in on that sidewalk at that particular time. Settle down.

3-4% would, statistically speaking, be considered uncommon, not rare. There are more of us than there are redheads (if that number is even accurate, I don't feel like fact checking you). But you know what? Who cares how many of us there are? We cannot fully participate in our community because of people like this who make it unsafe. Why are you ok with isolating us from a community that we help fund with our tax dollars, in violation of federal law, just so a selfish rich boy can park his car?

Just say you gate disabled people and move on. Common selfish generation. Only cares about me me me.

You tell me what it means to gate disable someone, I haven’t the foggiest.

Can you really not tell gate was supposed to say hate? Do you have any ability to understand context or are you a bird brain that needs everything to be explicitly stated?

Can’t spell. Calls other people bird brain. 😂

Nobody hates disabled people. The likely hood of this car blocking anybody that’s disabled is minute.

vimgod t1_j2eb42w wrote

Why does the car get extra space that is meant for pedestrians and disabled people? Even if it's minute, why should a disabled person suffer for a rich Mercedes driver who can't follow the laws

coldsnap123 t1_j2eccz3 wrote

Do you really want to follow every rule of law exactly the way it was written? Do you reserve the same amount of outrage when you do something outside the letter of the law? How many disabled people walk on that sidewalk per year at that particular location? All that fuss for maybe…5 people at most?

Why are you so offended for this car driver? Imagine being upset when someone says blocking the sidewalk is a bad idea. You truly are a snowflake

coldsnap123 t1_j2eed1r wrote

It’s not the end of the world for anyone on this planet if the car is parked like that.

vimgod t1_j2eeq66 wrote

Who said it was? But it shouldn't happen. A private business taking advantage of a publicly owned street is not good and it should be called out. You're the only one who is so offended here. You're an absolute clown

coldsnap123 t1_j2eeyb2 wrote

Ok, you spend the rest of your life taking notes on who isn’t following every law exactly the way it’s written. Have fun.

You have fun being offended by every post on this subreddit. Maybe get a job instead lmao

Someone out there is going 1 mile above the speed limit and you can’t do anything about it.

vimgod t1_j2eilod wrote

Someone out there has a job and you sit at home commenting on any post where someone brings up a valid issue thinking you're doing something when you really are just a nothing who has accomplished nothing

coldsnap123 t1_j2ejszt wrote

All of these words, yet no sense is made. Sad. So far your interests are following laws exactly as they’re written and telling people to get a job. Do you enjoy building walls as well?

I'm telling you to get a job you nobody

coldsnap123 t1_j2ellor wrote

Since we’re spending the same amount of time online, does that mean you have to get a job as well?

I'm talking about your entire post history, not this specific conversation. You're on reddit so much, no idea how you can actually work.

You’re reading my entire post history? Get a job you nobody.

vimgod t1_j2em9ul wrote

I actually have one. It's pretty clear you don't have a job of any significance though and so you come on here to make yourself feel better. But in reality, you still are a little nobody that's accomplished absolutely nothing. And no matter how much you post on this site, that will still be true. Sorry to tell you the truth

You’ve already established that I don’t have a job. Very sad brain you have.

That’s a pretty heavily foot trafficked area… multiple people in wheelchairs or using walkers or strollers having to navigate around that in the span of a few hours is somewhere between plausible and likely.

Honestly- people using a cane or a walker would have trouble getting by as well. Clearly you don’t have any experience with anyone with mobility issues. Lucky you.

How many people using canes and walkers do you estimate to use that piece of sidewalk a day?
