[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 31840, member: 1697"] I was not sure of the disabilities, LOL.but they are similar to my now almost 12 son... I have a handicapped placard for my RA and Lupus, altho I seldom need handicapped parking anymore, and more often do handle the walks with pleasure. My husband has our handicapped license plates...disabled veterans, to be specific. If I were to wish to use handicapped parking I cannot depend on husband plates, I need MY placard. BUT so often people would see me if I did park in handicapped and simply assume, since I am female, I suppose- that I was abusing my fathers license plates for disabled veteran. They would not look to see my placard hanging off my mirror. One time, I was at a grocery store, and parked, and this man came driving all the way up to my car door, and screamed out at me, hey you yong punk (I am almost 50) YOU cannot park there. I said well, yeah, I can, do you want to see my placard? My Medicare card? My RTA/CTA handicapped pass? He began to grumble and talk to himself, while at same time he circled parking lot and came roaring at me with his car headed right for me! It was quite scary, and when I thought he was gone and came back out of my car, I was almost into grocery store and he drove up so close, he nearly crashed into the building, and the manager saw and came running out. Another time at the HS for a choir performance for our dtr, I was using my elec scooter, husband was using his wheeled walker.we parked in handicapped.and a lady pulled up beside us and yelled and said HEY you give ME that parking space.
