Name changes for this as I do every so often.
I have blue badge but my disability is not visible.
For the 3rs time in 2 weeks I have been challenged about not looking disabled and I am fed up of explaining myself

yesterday got out the car and this man came charging towards me shouting “oi you don’t have a blue badge”. I sighed and said “yes I do”. He then said “where did you nick that from?”
I said “I didn’t nick it from anyone I got it off eBay”
He then looked at me and said “oh right and walked off”
as if that was then ok!!!!
or it could be my built like a brick shithouse husband opened his door and got out the drivers seat.

I know I should not have said the eBay comment but I am fed up of explaining myself.

if anyone has any good comebacks please let me know

Tell those people to fuck off and mind their own business.
It literally is nothing to do with them. You know you're entitled to park there, and you are. It's down to whoever enforces the rules to pull you up on it if necessary.
We once parked in a parent and child parking spot and got pulled up on it. A man loudly and passively aggressively said to his wife "I thought these spots were just for people with children" he obviously assumed we didn't have any because we were in a work van. I revealed my newborn DD tucked up in a moby wrap inside my coat and said "here's my baby actually, so mind your own business next time" but he just walked off and pretended not to hear. I was sleep deprived and passed off so I shouted "excuse me... hello" hut he continued to just ignore
Prick.

Anyway, as I said. Tell them to fuck off. Don't just ignore them. Tell them in no uncertain terms to get to fuck. How dare they impose their stupid self rightous judgement on someone they know nothing about.

"Feel free to report me to the department of not looking disabled enough."

My friend tells people she has Stephen Hawkings old one as they were good mates. So far there has been no comeback to that.
