They said they do that “regardless” implying they either key cars regardless of whether they park illegally or not Or they key cars that park illegally regardless of whether they’re disabled or not. I’m not defending or attacking anything. It was a confusing use of regardless and I thought it was funny enough to point out.
No one is arguing that people shouldn’t get their cars keyed for parking like assholes, so that’s beside the point. I said it because it was funny reading exactly into what they said in the context of this conversation. You’re translating their intent correctly, but that’s not very funny to me. Anyways have a nice day.
There’s a bit of an art to the “deliberately misinterpret what someone is saying” joke. I’m not sure exactly what it is tbh, but they’ve been pretty hit or miss. Maybe this one flopped because it’s poking fun at righteous rage that isn’t often in the mood for being made fun of, so it assumes any pushback is serious, but that’s just a guess.
Personally, I like this idea better than the tow truck model. It makes their car less nice but doesn’t put them in a situation where their life might be fucked if they can’t afford to get their car out of impound and their income depends on having a car.
We live in a society, and all must do our part to enforce the social contract.
It should be legal for anyone to key the shit out of cars that park like this
I already do, regardless
Regardless of whether they park legally? Or are you handicapped semi regularly?
We’re talking about parking on a disabled access ramp, not a parking spot so i’m not sure what you think you’re defending here

Regardless of the legality of it was my interpretation.
Not raally. ‘it should be legal’ was in the statement they replied to. Which means they do the action regardless of the legality

Remember kids, if you see a guy in a wheelchair keying a car…go help. He can’t reach up high.
