Shocking abusive note left on woman’s car parked in disabled spot

A man has been left furious after an abusive note was left on his wife’s car because she parked in a disabled spot.

The British man named Alan Tanner uploaded a photo of the note to Facebook which called out the actions of his wife and their daughter Paige.

"You will be reported for illegal use of a blue badge space,” the note read.

"I witnessed you and your young, able bodied daughter park the car at 13.10 on 19 Feb 2018 and walk towards the precinct with no sign of disability.

"This selfish action deprives a disabled person of somewhere to park."

However, Alan revealed that the disabled badge belongs to his daughter who requires around the clock care due to her disability.

“This was a letter left on my wife’s car today,” Alan wrote on Facebook.

“[My wife] was parked in a disabled parking space. Paige has got a valid disabled badge.

"Paige is not a young girl as you stated but a 23-year-old adult who is severely mentally disabled and requires 1:1 support at all times. I hope the person who wrote this gets to see this.”

Alan’s response to the rude note has been praised online, with many calling out the behaviour of the careless stranger.

“You’re spot on there mate,” wrote one.

“My wife has the same problem, the disability may be underlying. If I was approached I think I would blow a gasket and make them look stupid by showing them my wife’s disability and make them look silly.

“I know some people abuse the system, but remember the very old saying NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER.”
