Re: Disabled Parking vigilante Abuse

[Guest guest]

When my mom got her placard I remember people yelling

at her for parking in the blue spots. People never

yelled at her when she was with my father or brother -

they would yell at her when she was alone,with me, or

one of her(female)friends.

Now they don't. She thinks that people are less

aggressive now that she is older and feels that she

'looks the part'.

I don't look the part. My leg braces are underneath

pant legs or tall (flat healed) boots.

I will not always answer vigilantes when they yell at

me for parking in disabled spots. I deserve to live

life fully as any other person does and that includes

respect for privacy (mine).

When I chose to educate someone on my disability it is

done with consideration of my time and energy first

and foremost.

Sorry if this sounds like it hit a nerve/ negative in

tone, but seeing someone yell at my mom makes my blood

boil. Imagine if everyone just respected everyone

else - gave them the benefit of the doubt...

I guess I don't let those things bother me. I look at

it this way. I know I need it and not all the time.

If someone gets all that worked up about it they are

just a miserable person and I find peace in the simple

fact that they have issues not me. The other day I

parked in a handicap and a guy knocked on the window

and said " this is a handicapp spot " I said " yes I

know and that's why I have my place card up " He said,

" well the lady that parks here is an older lady " I

said " is she is a wheelchair? " He said " no but she is

old, you are a young guy you can park anywhere. " After

a few minutes I realized even though I was entitled to

park there it wasn't worth the argument. I moved

forward and funny enough someone else parked there and

it wasn't the lady in question. That person was

elderly and when I walked to the guy who argued with

me, and said " is that the lady? " he said no. I asked

why isn't he harrasing her to move? He turned to me

and said " you are a real A@#@##$. It's harder not

having an apparent disability but when I haven't even

gotten out of the car and being harrased says a lot

about people. I wasn't effected by it too long

because it was his issue and as much as I hated being

prejudged he had some merit to wanting to make sure

the spot was utilized by a handicap person. All you

can do is educate and if that doesn't work oh well

people are people.
