Army veteran responds to nasty note left on his car

An army veteran from Austin, Texas, was shocked to find this strongly worded note on his car, slamming him for using a handicapped parking spot at his apartment complex.

A passive aggressive neighbor apparently didn't think the man "looked handicapped," and decided to give him a piece of his mind. The note reads:

%shareLinks-quote="Hey Buddy, Stop parking in handicap spots!!!! You DO NOT have a sticker nor do you look handicapped. I have taken a picture of your license plate and sent it to the office for towing by the courtesy officer. Stop being a jerk!!" type="quote" author="Note from angry neighbor" authordesc="" isquoteoftheday="false"%

Turns out, the army vet is handicapped and decided to write back a little note to clear some things up. In his response, he says he has a "disabled veteran" license plate, and therefore under state law, is not required to have a handicapped tag.

He proceeds to say "considering you took a picture of my license plate you should have been able to very clearly see the writing at the bottom says: DISABLED VETERAN U.S. ARMED FORCES." He goes on:

%shareLinks-quote="Although I may not 'look' handicapped to you, I can assure you that the amount of pain I feel in my lower body from walking due to combat-sustained injuries far supersedes any level of pain you have ever felt in your life. " type="quote" author="Army vet's note" authordesc="" isquoteoftheday="false"%

In a similar situation, this woman was shamed for using a handicapped spot, and fires back in the best way:
