Want to know what I would do (I mean, if we still had that car and Alan still drove).

I would make a sign (I probably would take a fan (the kind that the Japanese use). I would transform that fan by putting a piece of white paper over it.

I would then write (IN BIG BLACK BOLD LETTERS) on the fan.

DON'T GIVE ME THOSE LOOKS!! I AM DISABLED!!!!

And when I got out of the car, I would hold the fan by the handle, if anyone approached me I would whip open the fan (like an accordian), put it in THAT person's face so they got a good look at it.

Then I would close it, collapse it, put it in my purse and go about my business.

Then when I exited the store, the fan would be in my hand and as I approached my car, if someone again has the audacity to approach me, I'd whip over the fan again.

I'd be surprised if i didn't hit someone over the head with it too!!!! lol

I'd really do this. You don't know me. I'm very inventive.

Sadly, no one doubts my need for handicapped parking.

The retirement community in my area is huge, particularly in the winter so most of the parking spaces are taken for the winter months.

I used to want to have a post-it note that I could stick on the window for perceived violations but with heart conditions, MS fatigue, all sorts of "but you look so good" people, I just try to give the benefit of the doubt to others. Besides, if there was road rage, I can be caught too easily!

My friend is visually handicapped, even has the cane with the red tip. I guess a woman in an SUV could not wait for him to cross the parking space she wanted and pulled in front of him as he walked. He took the cane and began to beat the side panel!

I like public humiliation... Safety in a public place!
