Hi I would say, if people keep their nose in their own business , this would be a lot better world. Hope u r feeling better take care

My sister is sick of people’s remarks, I have found a sticker for the car that has a figure standing and the wheelchair simmbal the other way and wording is “Not Every Disabilities Are Visible” Got some patch’s for our jackets too. Just hope it works

I get remarks to if I use a disabled bay like u I have quite a few health problems .My husband has snapped a few times at people when they make comments .was telling my nurse and she said the same not every disabilities is visable even airports have Line yards for different disability s .I would complain if it was me amy

print out a note with your doctors surgery address on it. "If you are interested in my medical condition please contact them otherwise keep your ill informed opinion to yourself"

I would do both, say something i.e. "Not all disabilities are obvious just like some people don't look ignorant and judgemental but they are...." and don't give her your custom anymore. Don't let it get you down. x

I would have been tempted to tell her she didn't look ignorant, really take no notice xx

My reply always is ….. " I may not look disabled, but then again, you don't look stupid and ignorant either" . That usually shuts them up. xx

Even though your badge was displayed?

The trouble is people abuse the blue badges maybe that's happened to someone close to her and they couldn't get parked ,did you see it on telly where people are using fake badges?it was on a week or two ago,you should ask her if she was referring you you the disabled or the ones that do park out there that don't display a badge.no point being passive aggressive to your daughter,if she was that is.I'd ask,explain how it sounds to you both but maybe just maybe she was annoyed by people that abuse it cause her someone close can't park&come into see her,there's many reasons why she could've said it I just saying be open minded if you're going to ask her.🙊🙏👵

Thanks for all the comments folks. I think I should let it go. It’s a great hairdressers and if I don’t go back the only person I am hurting is mysrlf

Disgraceful behaviour from the hairdresser. I have a sticker on my car I bought online it says NOT ALL DISABILITIES ARE VISIBLE. I would say something thoughxx

I would have told her to mind her own business and I would certainly not go back to her.

It is important to raise awareness of disability so I always explain

my brain injury. It is not possible for me to drive so I always use

public transport. Raising awareness is the way to win respect.

God Bless You!

People should mind their own business.

DO NOT feed the uneducated They would feast on it if you reacted.

Hi I say

You can’t see the wind but you can feel it !!!

Go back if she's a good hairdresser. You've got nothing to justify why you need a blue badge. Hold your head high and pity her ignorance!

I sympathise sweetheart, like most of us I too have been asked why I have a badge and even told when I was battling breast cancer " you don't look ill!"

I think I would take my business elsewhere. Life's too short and tough enough without trying to justify yourself to someone who, quite frankly, should be more interested in your hair than your blue badge. Take care. Xx

I recently gave a bus driver a dressing down for driving past me because there was another bus at the stop. There were no seats on the stationary bus and I ended up on a 20-minute journey that absolutely killed my back, hips and legs. The public definitely need more education on invisible disabilities...

Inhave put up with it for years, i have complex regional pain syndrome causing severe leg and pelvic pain... its obvious when i walk though. The bigger problem has been my age and looking even younger than i should, i bega using badge in mid 20's, just turned 50 but still usually considered to be in early 30's now. So they sit in their car and stare at me, they watch me adjust my clock, they watch me struggled to get out of the car, and then i limp and mostly vindicated. One man came to me even before i took one step and yell at me that clearly i didn't need to park there... to that he accused me of having loaned a relatives card. I show him the picture abd the abuse continn b ues because my hair was shorter... why do they think it has anything to do with them!?! These days my daughters bring me a small yytrolley to support myself while walking... it helps, yet still maybe once every 4 months i an subjected to the stare!

I don’t always use my badge just for this reason. I have good days but a lot more bad recently but I always feel like I am being judged for taking a disabled space. I am 48 and have just recently had my second knee replacement. I have rheumatoid and osteo arthritis and Fibro and I’m a single parent to five wonderful children. Until recently I was a certified ofsted approved childminder but have had to give this up because it is too much. The people I have known over the years all look at me and say “well you don’t look ill”. But they don’t see the day to day struggles we all deal with.
