Mother finds cruel note branding her 'fat and ugly' after parking in disabled bay at Tesco

• Sarah Metcalfe suffers from neurological illness that causes chronic pain
• She used disabled bay when shopping at Tesco Extra with 13-year-old son
• But returned to find the offensive handwritten note on her windscreen
• The 35-year-old is calling on the 'coward' behind the note to come forward

Without an official Blue Badge, Sarah Metcalfe was hesitant about parking in a disabled bay at her local supermarket.

However, she was in so much pain from a chronic condition that she felt she had little choice if she was to get round the shop with her son. (so she says...)

When she got back to the car a note was left on her window

Do you think this woman should either get a badge or park elsewhere and leave the bays for disabled people? And should she be driving with a child at all?

This woman was on 5 live this morning, the note is horrible if the person wanted to make a valid point they should have worded it differently. Apparently she has applied for a Blue Badge so under the law until she receives it she is not entitled to park in a disabled bay and she shouldn't IMO

[Kizzy]

The note was unnecessary and rude, she should apply for a badge if she feels she needs one.

[Vanessa]

That was so rude!

[Liam-]

The note was totally uncalled for and horrible, but saying that, unless she has a badge, she shouldn't be parking in disabled spaces.

She has applied so she felt she was entitled to park

The paper that person wrote the note on annoys me as much as the note itself

[Crimson Dynamo]

also the word doesn't

just write does not

[waterhog]

no one no's what goes on inside - if someone has a disability badge you are not here to question why ?

nor even do a nikki graham as say who is she who is she who is she ?

She didn't actually have a badge though (eventhough she had applied for one)

This, did someone really write an abusive note on a bit of paper with two high heels on it.

[waterhog]

if she had no badge she is in the wrong - but so is the person who left the note.

i mean its like me leaving a poem on your door

"However, on the day in question she was in so much pain she decided to use her judgment and park in the bays because they did not specify that a Blue Badge was required.

She said: ‘I don’t like to claim benefits, I like to just try and get on with it, but the pain was so bad on this occasion that I was forced to used a disabled bay to limit the walk."

then go home love and order your shopping online


the whole story smells of bs to me

I bet they bought a note book of that stuff just to use it to abuse people

I dont think the note is right of course but I personally find people who park in disabled parking without a blue badge really infuriating. My Nana has Arthritis and sometimes she can barely walk to the toilet without crying and when you see abled bodied people parked up in disability spaces it proper pisses me off.

Sure she claims to have applied and I do feel sorry for her for being ill but her 'judgement' could have stopped somebody who has the NEED for the space in parking up. She's a selfish bitch quite frankly. Don't park there without a disability card, it doesnt have to specify you need a blue badge its called common knowledge and if she has applied to claim a disability badge and read the form it actually states you can't use them without a badge.

Yeah i'm tending to agree with this (although the insults in the note were uncalled for) People parking in the disabled spot without actually being elderly or disabled is a real pet peeve of mine

I was thinking the same...

If she hasn't got a blue badge she shouldn't have parked there. The note was unnecessary but if it was from a disabled person unable to park, it makes it slightly more understandable.

I'm not sure teenage girls would be that concerned about who was parking in a disabled bay. Unless it was a disabled teenager, of course.

It could have been written by a disabled person or a family member of a disabled person. I totally agree the note is rude and totally uncalled for but they could have been incredibly angry at having not being able to park where they have the right to park because this woman decided she felt like parking there that day without the right.

I'm a teenager with a disabled grandparent who would confront somebody for lazy parking

Could be the mother of a teenage girl who borrowed some of her note paper
