LOL, I am soo shocked you said that Marian but you go girl - i'm so glad you stood up for yourself as it isn't right that people should walk all over you!!!!!!
Me and my mum once went to the Supermarket and I couldn't walk so I stayed in the car as my mum wasn't going to be a long time. We were parked in the Handicapped bit and had the badge out when all of a sudden, an old man opened our car door and said "Why are you parked here? I bet there is nothing wrong with you! You look too young to be parked in here!! I have severe arthritis and can hardly walk at all and you are just abusing this facility! It's wrong!!"! I was SO shocked and didn't know what to say!! I said to him "Would you like me to try and stand up and see what happens? I fall straight to the fall and it is pretty obvious I have crutches at the side of me and my mum has a wheelchair in the trunk of the car!!" The man didn't know what to say and just slammed the door and walked off!! I was SO annoyed that someone could say that - I would dare say anything like that to someone, even if I felt like saying something!! It's sort of like some older people think that because you're a child, you can't be disabled!!
I'm so proud of you for sticking up for yourself!! You GO girl!!!
