Just seen this on Twitter.
Two links.

The absolute ignorance of some people never fails to astound me.

She was lucky she didn't get a punch in the gob for behaving like that. Interfering busybody.

CovidCorvid · 04/09/2021 18:03

Have to say that looks like a set up, acted video with people who know each other. Tiktok is full of such videos, especially parking ones for some reason.

But yes, I know people do get grief for non visible disabilities when parking in a disabled space. People should mind their own business.

Bagelsandbrie · 04/09/2021 18:04

How awful. Such ignorance.

Noworneverever · 04/09/2021 18:06

Terrible acting. Looked set up.

PumpkinKlNG · 04/09/2021 18:08

Does look fake tbh

Biancadelrioisback · 04/09/2021 18:12

Looks fake but I've also seen this happen in real life and I thought that was a set up too... Until the lady being grilled sat and sobbed.

I’m a bit Hmm too. Why not produce the badge at the very start? (Not that the girl had any right to see it but it would have shut her up. If this was genuine)

fake

Mariell · 04/09/2021 18:12

Fake nonsense.

hollyhocksarenotmessy · 04/09/2021 18:13

Yeah, really bad acting, another one of those pointless fake videos.

ScrumptiousBears · 04/09/2021 18:14

Fake Grin

BroccoliFloret · 04/09/2021 18:19

Clearly a set up.

Which was probably done with good intentions but just doesn't do anything for advancing disability rights at all.

TheWoleb · 04/09/2021 18:20

That's fake. Why was she filming already? The girl just appears at the window and knocks as this woman is filming for no other reason?
It's fake.

Gilead · 04/09/2021 18:21

I don’t know whether it’s fake or not, does it matter? It’s a valid point and happens to us all the time.

CovidCorvid · 04/09/2021 18:21

If it was real they wouldn’t blank the younger woman’s face out. And the older woman would have lost her shit sooner and told her to fuck off. Plus the daughter recording would have jumped in.

nancy75 · 04/09/2021 18:21

If it was real surely you’d just ignore the woman/tell her to piss off? I certainly would t stand their trying to convince a stranger I was in the right

HocusPocuss · 04/09/2021 18:36

Pretty sure this is set up, as many of the comments on Twitter are suggesting.

magicstar1 · 04/09/2021 18:41

If that was real, she deserves a slap in the mouth for being so cheeky to that woman. If that was my mother I’d have been arrested for dragging her across the carpark.

Yes, it does matter. Because it paints a picture that make disabled people more fearful than they need to be. Does it happen? Sure. Does it happen all the time? Nope. I’ve parked with a blue badge with my DD for nearly ten years. I’ve been challenged twice, and even then, producing the badge just led to an apology and we got on with our day.

MichelleScarn · 04/09/2021 18:50

Horribly staged. I hate these 'social experiment' things that are so prevalent now. Generally annoying self righteous attention seekers wanting to show how wonderful and right-on they are.
Boring.

BoredZelda · 04/09/2021 18:51

Why do people pretend they would do this?

Or think it makes them out to be any better than the person behaving badly?

emuloc · 04/09/2021 19:01

Who has the time to stand there saying all of this? The woman in the car should of just put out her blue badge and walked off. That is what I would do, no explaining anything, nothing.

OoglyMoogly · 04/09/2021 19:06

Definitely acting.

mickeysminnie · 05/09/2021 09:45

It's fake!

Mangosmoothiesprinkles · 05/09/2021 09:50

This is fake!
