"Said to a young lady of about 25 parking in a disabled spot she was out of order using the spot , she literally jumped out her car in her sports attire, trainers , tight joggings, loose top and ran into the shop , ran around getting what she needed and ran back out . When I confronted her, her reply was ," whits yer fuckin problem I've got a colostomy bag, im disabled. Some disabilities are hidden." Personally I agree some are hidden but some people also take the piss . Who is more in the wrong me or the gobby 'disabled' girl." You. | |||

Definitely her, I've seen it myself on numerous occasions where people who are able bodied flaunt the blue badge holder card in my face , my mother is disabled and in a wheel chair and whenever I take her to hospital appointments cannot get a disabled parking spot because of certain people flaunting the rules, rules that are designed to aid the most in need of being to park as close to the hospital entrance.. Really boils my blood when you see able bodied people get away with this "hidden" disability or not. | |||

If they display a badge I won't usually say anything regardless of how they look but in this case it was clearly a young fit girl abusing the situation where she could easily have parked in the numerous spaces within about 15 metres away. | |||

" The blue badge holder isn't always the driver of the vehicle , ge or age could be the disabled person's designated driver but again I've seen those types of people abuse the badge as the they are not with the person the badge is for, all so they can get a closer parking place instead of walking 10 mtrs more, I'm my mother's designated driver along with 2 of my brothers so if one of us can't be available to take her to appointments she can call on one of them and still use her blue badge but 9 times out of 10 we end up parking in a normal place because of these inconsiderate assholes abusing the laws.. | |||

Perhaps she’s sick of constantly getting questioned on her disabilities and hey guess what when I’m having a good day no one would even know there was anything wrong with me the weeks and months I spend in bed however people don’t see that !!

There should also be more signage to effectively shame folk not into using them if they shouldn't be. | |||

"Long time ago I did some volunteer work and the amount of times you couldnt park the van because some selffish r-sole would park in the disabled spaces was incredible. If she can run she can park 10 yards further away." If the blue badge was hers she has every right it’s not about mobility any more | |||

I watched as she passed loads of spaces 15 meters or so away from the shop , to drive into a disabled space at the door ofthe shop, to jump out her car run around said shop and jump back in her car and think fuck all about anyone but herself. You could be right she could just be having a good day from her ' disability ' but would that not be even more of a reason to not park in that spot as she would know from experience just how important those spaces are to the people that really need them. ? | |||

"If you have been granted a blue badge then you are entitled to use the disabled spaces. There’s no scale on who is more disabled than the next person. Doesn’t matter if you are an amputee or have a stoma bag that’s the governments rules and it’s not for us to judge. " Correct | |||

Can yo imagine if you had a daughter with a Colostomy bag and some strange bloke had a go at her about where she was parking. I wonder if OP would have been so bold if it was a big bloke that parked there. | |||

"Maybe she suffers from anxiety about being far away from a toilet, maybe she hasn't had her bag that long, there could be many reason why, but really, stop judging people when you don't know there full story." Agreed. And stop harassing girls. | |||

When I confronted her, her reply was ," whits yer fuckin problem I've got a colostomy bag, im disabled. Some disabilities are hidden." Personally I agree some are hidden but some people also take the piss . Who is more in the wrong me or the gobby 'disabled' girl. You. So your opinion is I'm more in the wrong by confronting a clearly young fit girl using a disabled bay parking space than the clearly young fit girl who could have left the disabled space for someone much more in need of that space. No worries , appreciate your honesty. ![]() Did said person have a blue badge ? If yes and it’s hers then she will have been assessed by local authority to get the blue badge . If she wasn’t displaying it then she’s in the wrong . If it wasn’t her badge she’s in the wrong . Better signage of why disability spaces are there doesn’t help I’m sure most have seen folk in their four wheeled pride and joy park in supermarket disabled bays so they have less distance to walk in and less chance of their precious toy getting a scratch . First thing is if not displaying badge but it’s in glove box a stern warning from a traffic warden . Next no blue badge , one of those really hard to remove stickers stuck to their side windows both sides . If not moved in half an hour vehicle towed with a nice charge per day to release . Folk are to quick to judge to quick to take advantage of short cuts . Me first and deck everyone else . Never a warden when you’d like to see one for such cases . Drive various people with different disabilities to various hospital , doctors or shopping trip there’s always at least one a’hole parked not displaying a valid badge . ![]() | |||

"If you have been granted a blue badge then you are entitled to use the disabled spaces. There’s no scale on who is more disabled than the next person. Doesn’t matter if you are an amputee or have a stoma bag that’s the governments rules and it’s not for us to judge. Correct Yes quite right. Can yo imagine if you had a daughter with a Colostomy bag and some strange bloke had a go at her about where she was parking. I wonder if OP would have been so bold if it was a big bloke that parked there. " Damn right , called out a few twats for parking in disabled spaces without a blue badge , guys are worse than women . To your other point, if either of my daughters had a colostomy bag and fit enough to run into shops they would have enough respect for others that they wouldn't feel the need to use a disabled space in the first place. | |||

Same as woman on her own outside a sex club. You seem to have a type you pick on. You seem to use foul language as well when you get a little defensive. Maybe you should find some sort of macho forum to start threads on where there are lots of me that pick on vulnerable girls. | |||

"Well this has been an interesting read. As someone who had a colostomy bag for 10 years, I can tell you some days were better than others. Now I studied sports coaching and conditioning;apart from the stoma and surgery related issues, was very fit and able. Sadly that wasn't always the case and pain and discomfort could come on without warning. I was always and still am reluctant to classify myself as disabled cause apart from my intestinal surgeries and issues, I am healthy but I would never hold it against anyone else in the exact situation who did. I'm stubborn and power through; go to work in pain when I can't stand up straight and haven't slept cause I know it will pass, trying to play sports with really low red blood count and not being able to stand after 5 minutes ect, hooking up too soon after my last surgery when I was told I shouldn't lift anything heavier tha a kettle and then being in real pain and limited for days afterwards. I understand where the OP is coming from; there are unfortunately alot of people who take advantage and abuse assessable facilities, but confronting someone for not being disabled enough in your eyes puts you in the wrong. What you did wasn't standing up for disabled peoples rights, all you did was make someone elses day harder. " ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

"Well this has been an interesting read. As someone who had a colostomy bag for 10 years, I can tell you some days were better than others. Now I studied sports coaching and conditioning;apart from the stoma and surgery related issues, was very fit and able. Sadly that wasn't always the case and pain and discomfort could come on without warning. I was always and still am reluctant to classify myself as disabled cause apart from my intestinal surgeries and issues, I am healthy but I would never hold it against anyone else in the exact situation who did. I'm stubborn and power through; go to work in pain when I can't stand up straight and haven't slept cause I know it will pass, trying to play sports with really low red blood count and not being able to stand after 5 minutes ect, hooking up too soon after my last surgery when I was told I shouldn't lift anything heavier tha a kettle and then being in real pain and limited for days afterwards.

What you did wasn't standing up for disabled peoples rights, all you did was make someone elses day harder. " Appreciate you taking the time to tell your story bud, and appreciate you telling us your thoughts and struggles. Can I ask you on a day like this girl was clearly having, would you have used a disabled space if you were a permit holder to use that space. ? | |||

"The woman may have the Stoma because she has IBD or cancer both of which are very debilitating and could sap her energy at any given time. She may have looked fit and healthy but looks, as we all know, can be deceiving. " Or she could be 100% fit and healthy and uses her mothers/fathers blue badge without their knowledge as a way of being closer to main entrances of shops etc, don't tell me that doesn't happen? | |||

"As a mother of a daughter who had an ileostomy if it bursts its so acidic it can burn the skin and break it down in a minute and sometimes u need to change it where you can what if theres no toilet close by .."

It's a genuine disability as any . And as said on a previous post no one know the condition that made her have no option as to have the colostomy .. far too many Karen's in this world . | |||

"Interesting that you thought to watch her through the shop window but no look for a badge ." I was actually sitting in my car exactly opposite and to the rear of the disabled spaces in the almost empty main car park. I don't do shopping that's the OH's favourite pass time . I'm happy to wait outside. Hooe that clarifies why I never noticed a badge or not. As already said , badge or not this girl clearly did not need that disabled space on that day, so I'm sticking by that assumption, rightly or wrongly in my opinion. | |||

"Absolutely boils my blood when folk are judged on being disabled because they look fine to another person .. my daughters body has so many scars on it but their not always visible .. she was berated on a train for sitting in a accessibility seat from some know it all .. her heart condition she'll always have , has one working lung too but because she looks OK the person deemed her to be OK.. she got up and moved because she didn't need the drama of an argument got home in floods of tears and I swear if I could got a hold of that person I'd have gladly punched them in the gub for it . " Exactly this. People are too quick to assume the worst in others and think they're taking advantage. I think the fact that the OP didn't check if she had a blue badge and was entitled to use the space makes this story a million times worse, there's literally a label telling you she's allowed to use the space!! In the case of other places like toilets or designated seating then it's a case of leave well alone and hope they're using them for valid reasons, you are certainly not entitled to challenge anyone by what you deem to be your standards of health. | |||

To think otherwise is totally selfish and just as bad if not worse than me confronting the girl in the first place. Or do you not see your scenario as selfish as its your right to run a half marathon then use a disabled space as you have a badge. | |||

"Have you ever met anyone with a colostomy? Have you read about the reasons why they have one? They have probably had cancer or a debilitating condition to end up with a colostomy. It’s not like getting your tonsils removed. Maybe you should try living their life and see what it’s like. People do have good days and bad days. My daughter had her ileostomy because during her double heart bypass surgery her bowel nearly perforated it was so damaged . If that happened it would've killed her instantly . Luckily she only had it for 2 years and it got reversed .. Well said ![]() ![]() You have zero idea of how it works and this is evident but this post .. this one time I took my daughter out to go shopping .. the bus stop was at the end of my street obviously I emptied and drained her bag .. left the house got to the bus stop and had to turn back because her bag had filled with air because of wind and there was faeces came with the air and was over her clothes by the time I got my key in the door her skin around the ileostomy site had started to break down because of the leakage . See if you don't know the ins and outs of a condition maybe best not to make idiotic comments like this one ![]() | |||

So should we now go confronting every single person who uses a badge and make sure it's theirs and the reasons why they have it? People will abuse things, that's the word we live in. But there are also honest people who spend their days fighting debilitating conditions who want to go about their lives with the added stress of being harassed in a car park. | |||

"Said to a young lady of about 25 parking in a disabled spot she was out of order using the spot , she literally jumped out her car in her sports attire, trainers , tight joggings, loose top and ran into the shop , ran around getting what she needed and ran back out . When I confronted her, her reply was ," whits yer fuckin problem I've got a colostomy bag, im disabled. Some disabilities are hidden." Personally I agree some are hidden but some people also take the piss . Who is more in the wrong me or the gobby 'disabled' girl. You. So your opinion is I'm more in the wrong by confronting a clearly young fit girl using a disabled bay parking space than the clearly young fit girl who could have left the disabled space for someone much more in need of that space. No worries , appreciate your honesty. ![]() Perhaps not on that day, but perhaps there have been times where she has needed the advantage of the DB parking spot and it’s proximity to the entrance of a building (which houses toilets). The point is you don’t know. If this is a case of AITA …the answer for you, is yes. Concerning yourself in the business of others is not conducive to a happy joyful free existence in my opinion.

So you knowing more than me please help me out. Does someone jumping out there car , literally running around B & M doing some shopping, running back to thier car showing zero signs of panic or discomfort or stress , finding the time to shout abuse back at me sound like the actions of someone with a full colostomy bag. ? | |||

"Let’s just hope you never need a colostomy bag. This poor girl may have had bowel cancer, diverticulitis, colitis, bowel obstruction, twisted bowel or numerous other debilitating conditions.

The day before my operation." I initially came into this thread to see if it was the bags being discussed. But it was quite intense in the long-run. I had the "threat" of a stoma and bag last year as part of my bowel cancer removal pre-screening and had to re-draw a blue circle on my stomach each time it started to wear out. Being honest, it was the thing I feared the most about my operation, but the nurse from the Stoma team did her best to assure me that things would be OK and I'd adapt. However after hearing stories of chemo (which I also had) causing bags to dissolve. I was glad I managed to dodge that. On a positive spin you have to look at Adele Roberts, who recently "came out" as a stoma/bag patient after her bowel cancer removal. She's doing so much to promote body positivity about it, that there's been talk of making her an ambassador for Macmillan cancer support, specifically for stoma patients. Mandy | |||

"Interesting that you thought to watch her through the shop window but no look for a badge . I was actually sitting in my car exactly opposite and to the rear of the disabled spaces in the almost empty main car park. I don't do shopping that's the OH's favourite pass time . I'm happy to wait outside. Hooe that clarifies why I never noticed a badge or not. As already said , badge or not this girl clearly did not need that disabled space on that day, so I'm sticking by that assumption, rightly or wrongly in my opinion. " You post a sorry and backtracking post yet here you are still ranting on about this. Clearly had an effect on the rest of your day. Try letting things go and have some zest in life. Should change your name to dug wi a bone. ![]() ![]() | |||

"Anyways I'm out .. as the saying goes .. Never argue with an idiot they'll bring you down to your level and beat you with experience. Awe you had reduce it to petty insults. Problem with a discussion is you always get someone that sees it as an argument . That says more about you and your lack of accepting someone else is entitled to a different viewpoint. ![]() It's a common saying .. ur view in my opinion is idiotic , when you feel the need to confronted someone over parking in a disabled bay without even taking the time to see if she was permitted to do so is in my opinion idiotic and therefore renders you an idiot in your actions . | |||

"Actually I've missed a trick on this discussion. While we've been discussing different levels of disability in terms of a colostomy bag, the blue badge is solely about mobility and issued in accordance with mobility and not your disability. Clearly this girl and zero mobility issues so I stand by 100% my decision to challenge her and say she did not need to park there. " You deffo missed a trick .. if that's the case then why are Autistic persons or careers for autistic persons entitled to the blue badge when it doesn't affect their mobility .. its the danger it presents due to disability.. if your gonna spout of facts at least know ur stuff !! | |||

I clearly said earlier it was a possibility she was misusing the badge by not informing the council of her change of mobility status. I have said right from the outset it's simply and always been about a woman clearly able to run around, misusing a parking space through in my opinion selfishness as she could have parked 15 meters away and coped quite easily with that extra little distance. I don't need medical expertise to know when someone can run around a shop , to and from a car they can handle a 15 meter walk. ![]() | |||

I know a woman who has severe agoraphobia its developed through severe stress and anxiety she had to attend the children's hospital for consults about her daughters treatment , she couldn't stay with her daughter because of the agrophobia her gran stayed instead , the doctors put her forward for a blue badge to make it somewhat easier for her to attend appointments or to be able to sign surgical consent forms and she was awarded it . I could go on but I think I've made it pretty clear . | |||

You could cite 1000 instances about other issues BUT on this day that I challenged someone, it was pure and simply with someone who had zero mobility issues during that visit to that shop on that day. Someone who clearly could have walked an extra 15 meters on that visit to that shop on that day. Not to leave that disabled space on that visit on that day in my view was a selfish and inconsiderate thing to do on her part. Anyone who thinks otherwise about that situation on that day in my opinion have lost the ability to think for themselves and afraid to speak out when they see something that's just wrong . Simples. ![]() | |||
