Blue Badge

cherub1965

you havent offended me at all,just a pet hate of mine.lol. people leave their kids in cars in disabled bays or park as they will 'just be a minute'.no consideration.
if you cant drive yourself due to your health problems you would have somebody with you anyway wouldnt you if you are anxious about going out? give it a try but i cant understand how a badge would be needed?
am sympathetic to your health problems,a good friend of mine has a similar condition to yourself.

You sound so ignorant! I take it you've been out with someone with mental health problems who is in the middle of a meltdown? It's not nice and they do need to get to somwhere safe.

yes, usually its my mum or dad that takes me out, but i hate having to walk thru the shopping centrers/multistoreys etc, they are terrible. if we could opark closer to (the hairdresser for example) on yellow lines it would mean not having to walk thru town

try telling that to somebody when every step they take is agony when somebody gets out of a car in a disabled bay and walks normally.hacks me off.

Get over yourself. I have both a physical disability and a chronic mental illness. I am in pain every step I take, every day I live, every little thing I do. I do not begrudge a parking place to someone who might have a panic attack if they had to walk through a crowd to get where they are going, and neither ought you if you have any kind of empathy.

Having empathy with your family is something you ought to have from birth anyway. Other people, apparently you don't have as much as you think you do or you wouldn't be behaving like this. You may say you weren't "getting at" the poster, but think again about that - if it had been me making that post and having your response, I would definitely have felt "got at"! And I'm not oversensitive, either.

This isn't about people without badges parking in those places, it's about whether or not the OP should be entitled to get a badge to park there, so go air your grievances about people who aren't even bothering to get the badges someplace else.
