Basic Trope: A non-disabled character parks in a disabled parking space (or uses other disability-accessible items), usually just to Kick the Dog.

  • Straight: Emperor Evulz goes shopping and parks in the disabled parking space.
  • Exaggerated:
    • Evulz and all of his allies park in every single disability-accessible parking space.
    • Evulz uses disability-accessible items whenever he can just to Kick the Dog.
  • Downplayed: Evulz uses the wheelchair-accessible bathroom despite all other bathrooms being available.
  • Justified:
    • Evulz hates disabled people.
    • Evulz' arch-nemesis Hiro is disabled, so he's trying to get Hiro to not follow him.
  • Inverted: Emperor Evulz has his own disabilities, but always parks in a regular space to the annoyance of others.
  • Subverted:
    • Evulz is thought to be using disability-accessible parking spaces for this reason, but he reveals that he really does have a disability.
    • Evulz thinks about parking in the disabled parking space, but backs out.
  • Double Subverted:
  • Parodied: Evulz claims he's evil because he used the wheelchair-accessible bathroom.
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Nobody uses disability-accessible items just to prove they're a jerk.
