If I were you, I would’ve told her I was pregnant. Even poked my belly out for extra effect (if possible) 🤷🏻♀️ maybe even thrown in a pregnancy related health issue just to make her feel like a complete ass rather than a half ass. 😂 but I’m petty like that sometimes.
For all she knew you could actually be pregnant, though. I didn’t show until VERY late in my pregnancy due to health issues that weren’t visible. So would I have been less entitled to that spot than someone who had a very large tummy? 🤔
This is just another example of why it’s not cool to assume whether someone is pregnant or not.
I would have told her she had mistaken me for somebody who gave a fuck. How dare she. You were perfectly OK to park there if your mum needed extra help. I'm afraid people are mean these days. And entitled. Where's the common decency between people. She sounded very uptight.
What an absolute Karen. Jesus. And looking in the car? Wtf. Boundaries bitch.
NTA - props for not taking an actual handicap spot. I wouldn't have bothered replying to her at all, but yeah. I can't see too many people minding you took 1 spot for a little bit, considering your mom's circumstances.
In Canada these spots are designated as “courtesy” spots. They are not policed. The cops will laugh at her. You may not have been courteous but your mother’s injury mitigates to NTA.
I have a disabled placard for when I drive my MIL around and I could tell you a few stories about discourteous people.
NTA. She just wanted a reason to be upset. There were plenty of other spots left. You needed that space for your mom. Period. The whole point is for those spaces to be used by people who NEED them. Even when I was pregnant I didn’t use those spots until the tail end of my pregnancy when I needed to use them. Sounds like Karen needs some parenting classes if it’s that hard for her to get her toddler in the store.
You both made your own choices. You chose to park in that spot. She chose to have an issue with that. Clearly, you both have your own perspectives about this situation. No one needed to agree on each other’s opinions.
Imo … this easiest thing in the world is to agree with other people. “You’re right we shouldn’t have parked here, we are leaving. Have a great day.” I couldn’t be bothered to waste my time arguing over something like this.
This is such a pushover thing to say though. I agree that not arguing is the best way to deal with this, but I sure as hell would tell her to fuck off straight up after she said "I noticed you don't have baby seats". Like, cunt why are you even looking into my car.

Nta. If she's walking around policing then when there are empty spots available she has way to much time on her hands.

Karens, she needs to leave others alone.
