Today, after parking in the handicapped spot of a lot with my placard, an older couple with their 7-year-old grandchild came up and yelled at me for being a lying asshole and taking the parking spot. When I showed them my prosthetic leg, the kid started crying and guess who got yelled at again. FML

Today, I went to buy my prom dress. I felt really good as I walked out of the dressing room, until someone walked out of the room next to me wearing the same dress, and looked better in it than I did. It was a man buying it for his drag show. FML

it's for the handicapped person to be closer to his goal. imagine someone with a wheelchair trying to cross the entire parking lot, which is mostly fairly large. the people that are entitled to that spot have difficulties and those spots were made to help them and make it easier for them

How can you not "get" them? They're there so that people with disabilities can have a closer parking space and don't have to walk the entire length of the car park and wider accommodate any aids they may need such as wheel chairs, crutches or service animals...... This really is a common sense thing

I am glad that you pointed out that not all handicaps are visible. Although my son has autism, which is special needs, he has a handicap placard as well. he is unaware of safety even though we continually teach him, and we always have his hand. But. the pass keeps us from having a longer walk which could cause him to dart because of interest in cars, you know? His issue isn't seen either. We too have gotten pretty disgusted looks and side comments.
