An angry neighbor left this note on a disabled veteran's car...not realizing he was disabled. This was the vet's response.

I think about this every time I actually do park in a handicapped spot. My Wife will tell that I normally won't use them. I always feel someone else needs them worse than I do. I try to leave the spots for the other folks. Except at Wally World. They have a hundred reserved spots. LOL

I personally despise this sort of stuff, and do not encourage anyone from either end of this business to engage this way.
If you want to question someone, do it directly. Don't take the coward's way out and write a stupid note, nor counter-battery said note with social media exposure.

This is a simple misunderstanding that could have been defused with simple engagement.
Or busybodies minding their own business.

As a handicap parking placard holder, I feel for this guy. None of my disabilities are visible. There are days I can barely walk, and there are days my headaches are so bad that 10 seconds of sunlight can be excruciating...

BTW, I wish WA state allowed handicap parking with the DV plates. A friendly representative has it for action, but you know how slow legislatures can be...

I don't park in handicap spaces unless I have to. I have a hard time walking long distances sometimes and now I'm having dizzy feelings. I did park in a handicap spot at a drive in stop and rob one time. An off duty city cop pulled in beside me with his kid. As I was getting out of my truck, the cop smarted off and told me I better have a limp. I sad, "Hey dumb shit for brains, look at my license plate." I walked off and went in the store. We both came out at the same time. We didn't look at each other and he didn't apologize or thank me for my service. I told him thank you for your service, but he ignored me. I think he was showing off for his kid, or else he was being a dumb shit for brains. Lol

They both are kind of childish, in my opinion, never stoop to their level. It really doesn't matter what they think. They can send in the picture of the plate to the police and the police can tell them that they are, in fact, able to park in that spot. I think that would please me, imagining their face when they cry to the police, only to find out that they are the d-bags.

That's kind of funny, I had a guy bitch at me for parking in a handicap parking spot without a placard. I asked him if he took the time to look at my "handicap" license plate. The look at his face was priceless. I just smiled and told him to have a nice day. By the way, I was still in my vehicle when he confronted me. When I saw him in the store, he wouldn't look at me in my wheelchair. I guess you could look at this as a positive, they are out there looking to make sure we have those spots to park in.

I am a disabled Vet..no I don't always use the placard as I know there are many more that need those parking spots more than I do. However on occasions the pain in the legs is way to much to manage and I use it. It is simply a case of some dimwit thinking they know it all, and must ensure their better than thou attitude is presented.

Don't blame him for the response. On the flip side, there are those out there, who are not disabled, who take those spots away from others who need them. His judgment and attention to detail were poor, but maybe his heart was in the right place. Who knows?

On a related topic, what are everyone's thoughts on a disabled person's spouse/child/caretaker/etc. using a reserved spot when the disabled person is not with them?

Yea a lot of people make assumptions. I have seen many dirty looks when my wife and I get out somewhere and walk in because she looks "normal" all those looks seem to go away on days when she need to use her wheelchair and I have to help her though. Even with a dang handicap placard. We even had an MP on Ft. Rucker follow us in the PX and confront us about using someone else's handicap placard and saying it was against the law and everything before we kindly had to let the SPC know that he was being a douche and walked back out to the car to show him the handicap paperwork in her name.

Yet again we see the results of someone acting on superficial impressions. I have a cousin who walks just fine, but has a heart condition that leaves her exhausted and out of breath if she walks more than a few hundred feet. Few of us have any idea why an individual merits a handicapped sticker or license plate. They're not that easy to get. When I was attending Utah Valley University, I would have loved to be able to qualify for one due to the arthritis in my hips and knees. With over 33,000 students, the parking situation is difficult, at best, and I frequently had to walk over 3/4 of a mile to get to class. Very painful by the time I got there. The doctor told me, though, that unless I was a candidate for joint replacement, I couldn't get one. That's why we shouldn't presume to judge a person based on superficialities, and we should never bully someone because we can't see why they have a handicapped sticker or plate. (This, of course, doesn't include the shmucks who use a spouse's sticker to get a convenient spot for themselves.)

How does a post almost a year old show up on my facebook newsfeed, I am about to unfollow RP because I expect to find new content not rehash old topics, with that said I will rehash it. Being I retired from the National Guard, I have seen Guard soldiers with DV plates WITH the handicap symbol on them, the little dude in the wheel chair, they are collecting 75 percent from VA, parking in handicap spots (even at the armory during drill weekends) and scoring almost 300 on their PT test and not a single profile on MEDPROS so yes there are those that ride the system, HOWEVER I am not a doctor so I dont question it because at the end of the day their medical information is none of my business. Honestly I am in TX as well and I was under the understanding that anyone with 50% VA comp was able to qualify for the DV plates but to get the actual HANDICAP DV plate there had to be more involved but I have never really researched it enough to know the details.

I wish Texas would just go ahead and put the handicapped emblem on the license plate, but that might mean they would need to change their definition of "Disabled Veteran".

In Texas, a 51% disability rating qualifies you for the Disabled Veteran license plate. That may not be enough of a rating to qualify for the handicapped symbol, though.

In Tennessee, the Disabled Veteran plates do have the handicapped symbol, but you must have a 100% disabled rating from the VA to get a Disabled Veteran plate here.

I would like to say that this is a horrible example of what people can be like, but I cannot say it's an isolated incident.
My wife and I (both disabled veterans) went to a chain home improvement store a while back. We did not park in the designated "disabled veteran" parking spot, but did -- properly hanging the approved state issued placard -- park in the disabled parking. I also have chronic pain in my lower extremities and my wife has stress fractures in every bone below and including her pelvis, similar to the veteran in the note from above.
As we entered the store I noticed a woman walking out had seen us park and as we walked by she turned and followed us back into the store. After following us across nearly half of the store (I also have a real problem with people following me) she spoke up and asked us if we had parked in the handicapped parking. I stopped, trying to be polite, and turned to her as she held out her badge and started explaining that she was in fact an off duty State Patrol officer. I said that was nice and she had no right to ask, but since she had -- I produced the little card WA makes people carry in addition to their license to verify the parking placard in use does in fact belong to them, and explained that both myself and my wife were in fact entitled to use that or any other spot we so desired as DVs.
She did apparently know she was in the wrong for doing anything, but dug her hole a bit deeper by making the same statement as the tool above that she "had to ask, because neither of us "looked" disabled to her".
I find it repugnant that people have the nerve to pull this kind of crap in this country, but I kind of expect it anymore the way our people are being brought up.
I am sorry that this had to happen to you or any one else.

"More perfect?" Perfection is an absolute. Once one reaches perfection one cannot improve. Perfection is not a scalar quantity. The phrase "more perfect" is self-nullifying. Perhaps it would be more accurate to ask if one had ever seen a response that was CLOSER to perfection. I dunno... I'm just an idiot reading some moron's note to a DV, and then same DV writing an absolutely devastating response - which apparently will never be delivered nor read by the asshat who started the whole thing...

I don't understand why anyone concerns themselves with what others are doing. The same folks who say ignorant things like "you dont look handicap" and other uneducated things like that, are usually the same folks that drive around the parking lot 4 times looking for the closest spot available to the doors! People will argue and fight over getting one spot closer then turn around and judge you, smh. It's not concern, it's jealousy!

Outstanding response. In defense of the note writer, he/she may not have been from Texas. Every state is a little bit different on who can & can't park in marked handicapped spots. I think a lot more states require a sticker than just using plates as in Texas. This is an issue I ran into all the time in my civilian job and I learned quickly not to jump to conclusions.

I have dv plates with handicap emblem; this vet is incorrect; normal dv plates only allow parking in 'restricted' handicap parking; 60% disability rating will get the plates; but to park in handicap still requires a doctor's certification of certain limitations; length of walk ability, on oxygen, and a few others.

For the purposes of this comment I have to mention that I'll start off with the assumption that this is a real story and not the effort of a blogger stimulating web traffic- which surely is a generous and perhaps naive assumption. Second, we should stop overlooking that the person who left the first note was trying to look out for disabled people and in the course of that slighted a disabled veteran by not being aware of the laws. In the course of trying to do something righteous this person became the villain on a technicality and now has drawn the ire of thousands. I'm losing interest in the mob-driven, kangaroo court aspect of the internet every day.

I left the handicapped spaces available and used the warrior spot. I guess after 3 years of physical therapy the fact I no longer walk with a cane is enough evidence that I never served my country... SMH.

This is great. I work for a District Attorney here in Denver, and we have reserved spots for wounded vets, in addition to the handicapped spots. I was really proud that my job set this up.

I read a meme that said something along the lines of "no matter how big the hammer, you can never pound common sense into stupid people." It definitely fits that jackass to a tee.

If that individual won't thank you for your service I DO! You handled that situation better than I would.

I am a 100% disabled veteran, my plates on the vehicle are designated DV with the disabled sticker on them. I do not look disabled what ever that is supposed to mean, I am not missing a leg, arm, nor am I blind. But, believe me the disability does not have to show to be very very real. I the person that wrote the original note in my mind was jealous that the disabled person was able to park closer to the store or was just being an ass, take your pick. I do not always use the disabled parking, but there are times that I thank god for those spaces. Understanding is in low supply it seems.

Testify! I have the same plates on my vehicles in Kansas. There are times I most certainly "look handicapped," and thankfully times I don't. It's great to live in a society so full of medical professionals who can diagnose your condition just by watching you park your car. ladies and gents, this is what we served for. Freedom to be douchebags.

I got a ticket because the cop didn't know what DV meant on my plates

It bothers me when adjacent cars park into the stripped zone making it difficult if not impossible to get into my wheelchair.

I have a grandpa that is a disabled veteran and one time we were sitting in the walmart parking lot waiting for grandma to come back with groceries and some teenaged girl came up yelling at him because he didn't "look disabled" so why was he using "somebody else's placard" and he looked at her, smiled, slowly reached down and pulled off his prosthetic leg and waved at her as if to say "goodbye, dumbass"

There are Disabled Tags and there are disabled tags, some are available to anyone who has a rating from the VA. Most have the wheel chair insignia to indicate that the disabled person meets ADA criteria. I change cars regularly so I find the placard more convenient

Just for the record a disabled veteran plates does not allow one to park in handicapped spots in many states. I don't necessarily agree with that but if you check you will see it is true.

Two wrongs never make a right. Educating the public about military related disabilities is more productive.
