A Charlottetown woman with spina bifida says she was treated rudely by someone who thought she didn't deserve to park in a disabled spot.

Melissa Scott said she displays a disabled parking permit on her windshield. She found an unsigned note on her windshield recently that said, "You are not handicapped. You are obese. Think before you park."

"I was completely shocked that someone would be so cruel," said Scott.

"We're supposed to be the hospitable province and for someone to be that rude -- I would say, even vile -- to feel the need to say that. And cowardly, for not putting their name or not addressing me to my face."

Scott says along with spinal bifida she has two herniated discs and a left leg that has not developed muscle. She said while it may not be apparent she has a disability there is no excuse for rudeness.
