BLue Badge

  • i have a blue badge, i have been disabled for a long time but only just recently got a badge as i didnt realise i was entitled to one, i am not in a wheel chair but have trouble walking, i can get there just about .............. in the end.

    i dont use disabled parking spots very close to the shopping centre if i feel i can manage a little extra on that day because i always think someone might need it more than me, but sometimes i have to get as close as possible, depending on my body that day.

    i did however once park in a child and parent spot, and i did have my child with me, popped into tesco to get some bits and on the way round bumped into my mum, baby was screaming to go with nanny so i agreed and off she went, when i got back to the car i got a mouthful from some bloke for parking there with no child ! i was so embarrased as i hadnt but was too late to explain , he screamed at me got in his car and sped off !

    What a dreadfully sad individual he must have been.

    Next time, should it happen, the words you are struggling to recall are "!!!! Off"

    i know, i can understand someone being a little annoyed if they thought i parked there with no child but screaming at me is a bit over board, maybe he was having a bad day.

    i should of said f off but he had small kids with him so i wouldnt do that, i just hope someday i see him again in the car park as il nick what ever space he is headed for lol :rotfl:

    There are hundreds of threads on here covering subjects which have been debated to death. I doubt that this will be the last blue badge discssion
