Congrats, Marion! I had a lady question my handicapped placard once at the grocery store. I was angry, because I only use it when I really need it! I happened to have my MRI scans in the trunk of my car, and I said something like "Would you like to see my MRIs and all the holes in my brain?" I know I was a bit inappropriate, but I was mad, and I would never dream of abusing someone's placard! Anyway, it shut that lady up pretty fast. Maybe if I'd been feeling better I would have been nicer and explained things, but it was a bad day!

Sarcasm usually makes me feel better. Next time this happens to me, I'm going to tell the person that I got MS so I'd have a good parking spot.

People need to realize that not all disabilities can be seen. I'm sure if we wore our lesions on the outside, nobody would bother us. I guess we have to deal with one idiot at a time until people realize we're not in it for the parking!
