When the polics showed up she turned on her best "sweet little old lady" charm and declared "Why I never knew cars were even allowed to even park in the loading zone of a disabld parking space; was his car hurt?"

My husband and I high fived her in the dairy aisle -and she declared "that ought to teach the little bastard!"

The grocery manager got nailed with a big ticket and towed off to impound - and she was found not liable as he was illegally parked. Go grannie!!
Did you see the pictures?

He thinks just because the parking lot is empty he is still allowed to park in the hashlines of a handi loading zone. He does it anyways, even in a full parking lot I noticed.

Great grannie.... I would of done the same thing...oh I would
