I once had a comment from a bus driver when I used my bus pass, he said 'You don't look disabled'. I just said 'thank you' and walked to my seat.
Other than that, not really. I've had dirty looks and mumbles from elderly people on buses, but I can just imagine them being like 'I've waited 60 years for this bus pass, she hasn't even earned it'.
Which is totally ridiculous but that's what I like to imagine.
Oh, I did once ask a group of youths on the train to stop making sudden loud noises (they were drunk and being silly) because I'd just got out of hospital and was scared about having another seizure, they moaned about it and were like 'loud noises can't trigger seizures' accused me of lying or whatever. Just ignorance really, but they shut up when I told them about the time I had a seizure on the train and it was delayed for 40 minutes and then cancelled. They quietened down after that.
So not really anything discriminatory I suppose, just ignorance. I don't let it bother me, let them think what they want, I'm probably never going to see them again.
