I believe the back window of her vehicle had a "Mary Kay" sticker or something like that. Maybe the note writer thought it was a salesperson parking there.

I don’t believe in nor partake of such “priviledges”, but it’s the owner’s prerogative to offer them.

If I did take advantage of such a priviledge, I’d have simply kept the “note”...and parked there the next time I visited that establishment.

Then I’d wait for the ahole to mess with my vehicle and confront them...

Welp, whoever wrote that note is gonna feel pretty damn small, hope they’ve got enough of a pair to own up and apologize.

Was she a wounded VET? Aw hell Naw!
Not sure what the rules are but I would think you have to have a plate or sticker that proves you are a wounded Vet.

I am a Vet, would I park there? Aw..HELL NAW!

Vet’s usually have some sort of sticker on their car with the service ... I’ve seen cars parked in vet’s slots at Home Depot that had no sticker denoting what service they were in.

I don’t mean this as any type of knock on her or veterans, but I don’t like the idea of “veterans’ only” parking spaces. We are becoming too classified of a society where not only the disabled, but “moms with babies” and senior citizens and now veterans get special parking. It just doesn’t sit right with me.

34 year female service member with two fake knees. I would never consider parking in such a spot. I have never deployed, been shot at etc. Worst I’ve been through is a week in chem gear and MRE’s for meals. I barely even used my temporary handicap pass after my knee surgeries. There is always someone worse off than me.

I understand her anger, but she should be glad the note writer didn’t return. Whoever was rude and pompous enough to scribble such a note may be low enough to try injuring her. I’ve heard many stories of people trying to run someone down in the parking lot after a selected space was filled up. Too many kooks out there.

I’ll be sure to thank her, if I ever see her around town. Thanks for posting!

Yes, it seems the left deems female vets the latest heretofore untapped demographic.

They never tire of driving wedges between us.

One of the benefits of having a semi-new car and trying to keep it nice. You park as far away from the front door as you can and hope some icehole doesn’t park next to you anyway just so he can bang the crap out of the side of your car.

I see these “expecting mother” reserved parking spaces at the grocery storeand it pisses me off... You chose to have a kid, lady. Go park the Lincoln Navigator somewhere else.

I saw one of these “Reserved for Veterans” parking spots awhile back and pulled right in. Hell, I’d never seen one before so I even took a picture of the sign through the windshield to show the wife.

I was hobbling toward the store when a very nice old lady kindly asked me if I was limping because of the war. She’d seen me park in the spot.

“Actually, ma’am, I jammed my toe into a box when I was getting up to let the cat out late last night”, I was quick to reply, not wanting any sympathy I hadn’t earned.

Her expression instantly turned to disgust. “You awful man, how does that make you a Veteran?”

After a moment’s perplexed shock, I laughed so hard I thought I might bust a gut. She stomped into the store to rat me out to the manager, but no one ever questioned me on it, and I’d have gladly shown them my retired ID card if they had. When she saw me in the store she glared at me, and I was going to let her know I had been a Marine in OIF, but all I could do when I saw that sour look was laugh until I almost cried.

If looks could kill, she’d have buried me on the spot.

She made it into a female thing - the note writer screwed the pooch by jumping to conclusions then she opted to show which way she votes by turning it into a sexist deal vs. a mistaken identity. Hope she gets a flat next time she uses such a spot.

I’d dislike finding a note on my car for any reason other than someone being honest about damaging it.

But, I also dislike all the special parking that makes it nearly impossible to get in and out of a retail establishment quickly, particularly grocery stores. The federally mandated handicap spaces alone are far above and beyond the actual number of individuals who could use them.

I get a sense of preachy feminism that’s just as off-putting as a preachy note-writer making bad assumptions, too.

A lot to dislike about this.
