Verbal abuse about PIP and mobility car - which I don't have!

[sonoonetoldyoulifewasgonnabethisway]

I don't look like i have a disability but I do, and I have a blue badge. I have a nice car and a private reg, all paid for from me working full time for the last 30 odd years.

Parked in the supermarket and some 'prick' walked past me and made a comment under his breath, I asked what he meant and he straight said to me I shouldn't be parking there as it for disabled people. I said something back to him and flashed him my blue badge that I was putting on the dash. I turned around to put the badge back and he started on about aw right, mental health, PIP, flashy mobility cars, etc, etc and before I got chance to respond (I was a bit in shock and did not want a big argument in the car park) he walked off.

I do not have a visible disability, I do not get PIP and I do not have a mobility car. I have a blue badge.

AIBU to think I should be able to use my blue badge without getting verbally abused by some know it all, I was fuming btw and quite embarrassed cause other people had heard and what if they thought the same.

My friend is in the same situation. A blue badge but nothing else. Works full time as does her DH.
Blue badges are not easy to come by.
No one has the right to abuse you even if you were in receipt of other benefits.
There really are some nasty, unhappy miserable twats around who project their frustrations onto others.
I’m sorry this happened to you.
