My dad had a blue badge permit, parked in Tesco one day, all the disabled spaces full, so double parked over 2 spaces to get his wheel chair out, abuse from a fat woman who wanted to park next to me ,despite a huge car park, told her to report it to shop management.
Took dad into Tesco, did his shopping, local natives had stolen all the disabled trolleys that clamp onto the wheel chair, so a young lady offered to push a trolley round for us, as you cant push a trolley and a wheelchir independantly.
Got outside and the usual bmw chav, was moving out of a disabled space,and it was pouring with rain, so ran and got the van, as i was reversing into the space, a very angry chap, started screaming and shouting, so asked what the problem was, he said youre holding up the traffic reversing into a space, and youre also in a disabled bay, he shouted youre not disabled, by this time a large crowd of rubber neckers had gathered, got out of van and a woman decided she would have a go,demanding to know why i had parked in a disabled spot.
I pointed out i was picking my dad up, like hell you are they shouted, i then pointed to my dad, sitting in a wheelchair,a forlorn looking frail chap,registered blind and suffering from terminal cancer, his both feet tightly bandaged due to leg ulcers.
They all looked,i shouted at them he is disabled, now piss off, and they did very red faced.
NEVER TAKE DISABLED OR MOBILITY IMPAIRED PEOPLE AT FACE VALUE, DISABILITIES COVER A LOT OF ILLNESSES AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS, AND THEYRE NOT ALL WRITTEN ACCROSS THE FOREHEAD FOR IGNORANT BYSTANDERS TO SEE.
