An Australian TikToker was forced to show his fake leg to a woman who wrongly presumed he was not disabled when he was parked in a disabled bay.
The man, who goes by the username @pnuks, filmed the incident in which he expertly responded to the woman in question.
In the video, which now was over 1.4 million views, the man tells viewers watching how a lady had approached him while he was in his parked car and asked if the disabled badge displayed in his window was his. He said, “this old lady had the nerve to ask me if this is my disability card”.
The incident took place in a McDonald's car park and the user decided to film the following interaction as he revealed his disability. As he walks towards the perpetrator, he can be heard saying: “Let’s go see her face when she finds out I’ve got one leg”.

When he approached her asking why she assumed the badge wasn’t his, she attempted to explain herself and insists she has a right to ask him that.
“Is it because I don’t look disabled?” he asks, before telling her to “don’t ever do that again”.
The incident has been viewed millions of times over and is a reminder to us all to never assume anything about a stranger. There are many disabilities that are hidden and no one has the right to question someone over their blue badge.
