I wish someone had reported her. I know she is my daughter, but she needs a hard lesson in not doing that.
What little thing would you make illegal just because it pisses you off?

Hypothetical question: if you're cruising through the grocery store and you come across two people who are blocking the aisle with their carts AND bodies, and you say "Excuse me" to see if you can squeeze through and they just look at you and go back to their conversation, not yielding so much as an inch of space, would a jury convict me if I used my cart to ram my way though while repeating, louder, "EXCUSE ME". I mean, hypothetically.
I would also ban people who flat out ignore helpful employees that, in passing, say "how are you" and the customer gives them a snotty look and ignores them. Sheesh. Are we all in such a zombie state of mind that a common passing greeting is now "offensive"?
(My trip to the store this morning did not go well, in case you were wondering.)

I realize fully that fast food employees are underpaid and busy. I just wish that it was illegal to mess up the order. You really do not realize it till you fully miles away from the restaurant.
I know a lady up north, who shops Wal Mart. Same situation as yours, how many times can you say, excuse me. One day she was shopping, came across a similar situation, took out a small air horn and let it go. The people moved. The store asked her to leave.
While I agree that is very illegal and irresponsible to park in a handicap spot, it's also not necessarily evident that a person has a handicap, just by looking at them. A permanent or temporary tag is needed in order to be able to park in a designated handicap space. If no tag is prominently displayed, then reporting it is the right thing to do.
I agree, there are handicaps that are not visible. Most stores in my area will ck the vehicle parked in the spot for the display card/ or tag as they copy an illegally parked car's plate.

Last night we went to a mall. Near the bank there are two handicapped spots. Between them is an area with yellow diagonal lines so there is space to open the doors fully. Both spots were empty, and parked between the spots...on the diagonal lines....was a car with a handicapped sticker displayed.
Hey!
I've enjoyed the cat comments. I've never had a cat but my in-laws do and cats are... interesting? They do strange things at strange times and sometimes they frighten me. I'll say this again, when they are just laying around and all of a sudden they jump up, stare at spot (there's nothing there) and then dash away in the other direction. What's that all about? And I had no idea they get toasted on catnip. Really, they do,

Every step on a Lego and turned the air blue cursing? 
Now there's a solution.
Lego shoes!
"Next time I step on Lego, I will simply get taller. I'm a bloody genius."

I just say excuse me louder and louder till someone gets the hint.
....and further-those that take a family members handicap placard and hang them off their own mirror, so they get the "good" parking space....I've fronted out more than a few able bodied people for their lack of decency in this respect....
....I loudly proclaim their ignorance when I see it.....it's why Tracy often walks in another aisle from me.....#nofu*ksgiven....
i've been using zucchini to make noodles when i want to do pasta. had no idea there was a low carb option
As a completely side note-We went to State Park on vacation-The handicap parking designated places looked like they were little turtles with a hump back in a wheelchair ? I should have taken photo.
as someone with a history of working in restaurants, amen. "how are you today?" "water" . . . .that's not what i *^%$% asked you
that and those entitled snot balls who think "the customer is always right" (speaking of things that should be outlawed, and i'd like to beat the crap out of the person who coined it) translates to "i can abuse the crap out of everyone" or "i can complain and never have to pay for anything". the higher ups at my job used to be extremely frustrating. my area director would tell me "nobody is just looking for free stuff when they complain, they never push for that from me, they just want to convey their frustration at their bad experience" to which i say, A - you're not around to hear them directly ask me at the table what i'm going to give them for their "trouble" (which sometimes amounted to "i had to wait a whole 20 minutes for my food that would take me an hour to cook at home"), and B - they don't have to ask you because they know how this works thanks to years of overcompensation. they complain, you say sorry and immediately throw things at them without being prompted.
this is not to discount people who have genuinely bad experiences, but so many people would outright lie or exaggerate to get free stuff, and my AD tried so hard to convince me it's not a thing. it's so very much a thing, and violators should be prosecuted. with a whip.
Cats are so dramatic and entertaining. My cats seem to be like little kids who pretend the demons of Hell are chasing them. They're "scared" and screaming but they're really having fun. When my cats do ridiculous cartwheels or wake from a sound sleep, ears slanted back with huge owl eyes staring at nothing then dash from the room I remember being a kid and "pretending" there was something there.
My cats get totally high on cat nip. Crazy. They don't seem to really turn onto it until they're 8 or 9 months old, though.
