Mortified mum finds rude note on car during Disney World trip with disabled son

09/20/2021

A mum was left horrified when she found a nasty note on her windscreen after visiting Walt Disney World with her disabled son.

Tricia Profrock and 13-year-old Mason, who suffers with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, went to the park together.

Her son requires a wheelchair which means she had to park across two spaces to have enough room to get him out.

It is usually recommended by parking staff, but one person wasn't pleased with her parking so they left her a message.

The printed note, which resembled a parking fine, read: "This is not a ticket, but if it were within my power, you would receive two."

But the message didn't end there…

It added: "Because of your bull-headed, inconsiderate, feeble attempt at parking, you have taken enough room for a 20 mule team, two elephants, one goat, and a safari of pygmies from the African interior.

"The reason for giving you this is so that in the future you may think of someone else other than yourself. Besides, I don't like domineering, egotistical or simple-minded drivers and you probably fit into one of these categories.

"I sign off wishing you an early transmission failure (on the expressway at about 4:30pm). Also, may the flies of a thousand camels infest your armpits."

Tricia, who lives in Florida, US, was devastated by the note but shared it in the hope that others might think twice about leaving a rude message.

She told FOX 35 News: "When the side of the lot with ramp accesses are full, the only remaining spots have no ramp access.

"Every single time out of dozens of trips, the cast members instruct me to take two spots, by parking directly on the white line. This gives me room to wheel my son out of the vehicle.

"So, if you see a car taking two spots, maybe instead of wishing us a broken transmission, you can try to think about why a wheelchair accessible van in a medical parking section might need two spots."

Mason has Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, which is a type of epilepsy that can affect an individual's ability to walk, talk or even see correctly.
