The pensioner was attending the supermarket in Brisbane Street in Ipswich’s CBD when she found the note.
She suffered a severe back injury in a car crash in 2011, destroying one of the vertebrae in her spine, and has the red sticker to indicate she can legally parked in the handicap spaces.
Joylene needed surgery, which took more than a year to secure, forcing her to use a wheelchair and making her suicidal.
‘What hide these people have to judge me when they know nothing about me?’ she told QT.
‘I felt so threatened. I felt so horrible.

She says she has been verbally insulted for using the handicap spaces in the past, but has never been threatened.
‘You can usually take it when people say things like; ‘you shouldn’t be parked here’ but this kind of behaviour is beyond a joke.
‘I have to live in Ipswich. I know a lot of people here. It’s me who has to face everyone.’
Joylene has a walking stick when required, but tries to walk on her own to stretch and strengthen her back muscles.
She has contacted the police over the note.
