Mistaken abuse of using a permanent handicap placard.
Oftentimes, people will pass just judgement against a person with MS because they are young, or because their not in a wheelchair.This has happened to me a few times during the course of my disease.
I always get this reaction also the person will even circle my truck.
Yes,
! This, unfortunately, happens a fair amount. I wish people didn't jump to conclusions about a person's need for a handicapped placard. We have no idea what other people are going through and offering grace (and minding one's own business) would probably be wiser than confronting a stranger in a parking lot. I am so very sorry this has happened to you.
