Assholes are everywhere, and treat people like shit. Mother with MS insulted while shopping

A Melbourne, Australia, mother recently fought back when she received a note on the windshield of her car asking, "Did you forget your wheelchair?" According to her Facebook post below, Justine Van Den Borne was parked in a disabled person spot when a bystander allegedly saw her walking without any issue and took offense. Van Den Borne was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at the age of 35, and states that the disease is "slowly crippling my life."

...but the guy actually came up to me face to face. He was so aggressive, it scared the shit out of me. And this happened in Portland, Oregon of all places, at the Post Office parking lot near Portland State Univ.
