Just totally ratted someone out.
Here's a letter I just emailed, edited for privacy. Yeah. My former employer. I've been waiting a long time to do this.
Dear Channel 10 News
I'm sending you this because every time I see it, I get mad all over again. Check out the parking lot at T
W on Road. There is a fire lane in front of the building on the (left) side, facing . The suits have decided to park there, so they have painted the yellow curb gray and filled that fire lane up with what they call "executive parking". It was originally yellow because if I'm not mistaken, fire code forbids you to park there. So I guess the executives at T W think that a little gray paint makes it okay to completely ignore the fire marshall.
It gets better. Look closely. In the corners of the surrounding curb, you will see where they are parking their cars right over the wheelchair ramps. They've painted parking spaces right there, in complete disregard that that is where the ramps are.
Oh, yeah. It gets better.
Now go check out where the actual handicapped parking is. It's waaaay down past the firelane, past the entrance/exit lane, and down with the parking for the rest of The Great Unwashed. I'm sure it's really going to make some poor paraplegic's day when he has to park way down the lot, struggle towards the building in the rain or heat, dodge incoming and outgoing traffic, and squeeze between all the Royalty parked in the fire lane, only to discover that the wheelchair ramp has a penis-car parked over it.
Nice.
Anyways, I don't really want my name used anywhere, but if you want to contact me via xxx@xxx you may. I don't know if this is the sort of thing you might find interesting, but I find it appalling and just plain wrong to have this kind of blatant disregard for not only safety, but decency.
