Went to the supermarket today, went to find a parent and child spot (full disclosure: I have a disability that causes chronic pain and makes mobility difficult, no blue badge yet, and we also have a 3yo DD). We see a couple nip into the only parent and child space available. I half jokingly comment to DP "I wonder if they actually have a child..." It soon transpires that they don't in fact have a child, and DP (who is quite confrontational) calls out to them "Where's your child?"
The woman replies, shouting, "I'm disabled and there were no disabled spaces, you twat"
To which DP replies, gesturing to me "She's disabled too!"
Neither myself nor the other woman have a blue badge.
AIBU to assume that child + disability should have priority? I should add that she seemed to be much like me in that we both probably appear healthy and able bodied to outsiders.
