Military Vet Calls Pregnant Woman A B*tch At The Grocery Store When She Parked At The Spot Designated For Veterans/Pregnant Women

"You’d think they’d be a little more sympathetic having to haul around all that audacity."

A recent Reddit post struck the nerve of a lot of Redditors. The story was all about a pregnant lady who infuriated a military veteran when she parked at the spot designated for veterans and pregnant women.

OP was 34 weeks pregnant when the incident occurred. Her pregnancy has been challenging, to say the least, and it was one of the rare times she allowed herself to leave the house.

Her husband wasn't able to get groceries, so it was up to OP to finish the task. A young man pulled up behind OP as she was getting out of her vehicle.

He yelled at her that it was illegal for her to take up that spot as it was for veterans. OP informed him that it was for veterans and pregnant women.

OP indicated that she is, as a matter of fact, pregnant. The veteran said that he earned the right to park in that spot since he fought for the country.

OP apologized for offending him, thanked him for his service, and advised him to look for another designated space to park if he needed it for disability reasons.

He wasn't impressed by OP's suggestions, so he called her a b*tch before driving away. OP told her husband what happened and he said that while she was technically correct, the veteran deserved the parking spot more.

He told her that she should have backed off instead of arguing with the vet

Even OP's dad and brother were on the vet's side

However, her sister asked OP not to worry as she did nothing wrong

Their conflicting opinions are clouding OP's judgment, hence her post on the subreddit

All the men in OP's life need to feel ~some~ of the symptoms pregnant people endure since they have such clear opinions about what OP did

It's misogyny packaged in a neat cover of concern for military vets

I bet they wouldn't be so quick to dismiss OP then

Upstanding people do not call other people names over a parking spot they feel is their god-given right

He doesn't have to be one thing or the other... he can be an entitled jackass and a vet

Female veterans, even when pregnant, are not easily afforded the same perks without others questioning them

I wonder what that vet would have done if OP happened to be a military vet and pregnant. Would he have called her a b*tch?

OP was already out of her car when he tried to intimidate her

He acted like any other entitled person and it really does make you question if he even was a vet

OP's husband needs to educate himself before deciding who he thinks deserves that parking spot

OP should stop listening to all of their wrong opinions. She should focus on herself.

Drop the mic, folks!

The men in OP's family have absolutely no clue just how difficult being pregnant is. Considering the fact that OP was 34 weeks along a difficult pregnancy, they should have been infuriated on her behalf.

OP was voted not the a**hole by sympathetic Redditors. They advised her to ignore what her husband, father, and brother were saying & focus on the good of her health and baby.
