Welcome to the latest edition of “passive aggressive notes that should never have been left”.
Shanell Beriman, a mum from the Sunshine Coast, found herself on the receiving end of an ignorant note last week.
Beriman and her daughter, Hailee Wallace, parked in a disabled parking spot at their local shopping centre on Friday.
According to the Sunshine Coast Daily, Hailee, 13, suffers from joint hyper-mobility syndrome and glycogen storage disease, a condition which leaves her wheelchair bound most days.
Friday was one of those rare days when Hailee could walk from the car into the shops with her mum.
A stranger who witnessed the mum and daughter walk into the shops decided to leave an angry note on their windscreen.
The note read: “Why are you parking in a disabled car park when both you and your daughter are perfectly capable of walking???? Wrong – shame on you for using the sticker ungraciously”.
Beriman decided to talk to the Sunshine Coast Daily, so the note-leaver could fully understand their situation.
“Now, I’m sure there would not have been an issue if I had of pulled out the wheelchair… but (that day) my daughter was having a good day and therefore she did not use the wheelchair for our quick trip into Kmart,” she told the publication.
Beriman explained that Hailee’s muscles are “wasting away” making “day-to-day tasks very difficult”.

FFS. People, if you see a disabled sticker in the window, let’s all just assume it’s valid, now matter what the person’s appearance. Petty anonymous notes are gutless.
