if you had a disability , you would understand!
To the person who reported my vehicle for being parked in the disabled spot at Target… I hope you got whatever sense of victory you were looking for. 😐
I ran inside for what was supposed to be a quick stop, and when I came back out, my vehicle was already being towed away like it had been abandoned there for hours.
Let me be clear — I was not gone for some crazy amount of time. I was gone for less time than it takes a Target employee to unlock the deodorant cabinet. 💀
And somehow, in that tiny window of time, somebody reported it, a tow truck showed up, and suddenly I’m standing there watching my car disappear.
How does something happen that fast?
What really bothered me was the way people around acted like this was some kind of public justice moment. One woman even pointed at the sign while my vehicle was being towed, like she had personally saved the entire parking lot.
Meanwhile, there were still disabled spots open. Nobody was blocked from shopping. Nobody was circling the lot unable to park. So why did this need to turn into a full towing situation within minutes?
Now I’m stuck dealing with towing fees, paperwork, stress, and figuring out transportation because a stranger decided they needed to teach me a lesson.
Maybe people will say I’m the villain here for questioning it, but I still think the whole thing was extreme.
Wouldn’t a warning have made more sense? Or are we really at the point where a few minutes in the wrong spot means instant tow, public shaming, and hundreds of dollars in fees?
