Seinfeld immortalised the perilous consequences to befall those who illicitly park in disabled car spaces in a hilarious episode from the show’s fourth season.

This week, however, Fifi Box has learned that, in real life, tales about parking in a disabled spot do not go down well. She told a story on air about parking in a disabled spot and then faking a limp once she realised what she’d done.

She clearly thought it was funny.

Disability activists and another prominent radio host beg to differ.

The popular Fox FM broadcaster has made an on-air apology after being slammed by fellow radio broadcaster, Tom Elliott of 3AW Drive, for faking a limp upon realising she’d inadvertently parked in a disabled spot.

“I think Fifi Box and Fox FM should hang their heads in shame,” Elliott said during his show.

“I think imitating or impersonating a disabled person just so you can justify having parked in their spot is an extraordinarily low act.”

Elliott’s comments were echoed by a disability rights activist who called in to the the show, adding: “I was really angry when I heard the promo yesterday. It made me very frustrated that she went out of her way to pretend to have a limp while walking to the car.”

Following the backlash, Fifi has issued a explanation and apologised on air.

The main take away from this blow out, is that the adage look before you leap should be applied to both the selection of parking spaces and when sharing personal anecdotes on commercial radio.

Potentially most shocking of all the details to have emerged from this story is that there are SUPERMARKETS OPENED AT 6AM ON SUNDAYS?? You learn something new every day.
