Today, I parked in a "Disabled" space. A woman and her kids comes yelling at me about how I don't look disabled and I was just being selfish. I roll my pants up to reveal two prosthetic legs. She then yells at me that I should have warned her before showing my legs since it could scare her kids. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 was so happy to finally get my disabled parking badge but I was not prepared for the abuse from members of the public because I don’t "look disabled." Just this morning a woman refused to believe I have a prosthetic foot, and tried to make me pull up my pant leg to show her. FML
Today, as I was getting out of my car, an old and obese lady walked up to me and called me an "inconsiderate heartless bitch" for using the last handicap parking spot. I guess she didn't see my wheelchair. FML
Today, I told a guy he should be ashamed of himself for parking in a handicapped space. He hit me with his prosthetic leg. FML
Today, I parked in a disabled bay so I could drop my son off at his appointment. My son uses crutches and has a blue badge. As I was trying to leave, an absolute Karen started chewing my ass for using a disabled bay while “not looking disabled”, then lay under my wheels to stop me leaving. FML
Today, I noticed a flashy car badly parking itself in a handicapped space. I hate the asshats who do this, so I went up to berate the driver. After an opening salvo of coarse language, a glint of light on his wheelchair in the back caught my eye. I then had to apologise for being a shitehawk. FML
Today, I got back to my car with a note cussing me out for parking in a disabled space when I’m clearly not disabled. They also smashed my windows. It’s true, I’m not disabled, but I also wasn’t parked in a disabled space. I was parked in a normal space next to the disabled spaces. FML
Today, according to a wild Karen, I shouldn’t be allowed to use a disabled bay because I don’t look disabled. I mean sure, I have a prosthetic leg, but I look "normal" so I’m not allowed. FML
Today, I received a $250 ticket when I parked my car, that has the disabled placard, in a handicapped spot at a Wal-Mart. The officer said she watched me get out of the car and walk to store without appearing to be disabled. I'm 59 years old, have a steel rod in my spine and a prosthetic hip. FML
Today, I was taking a walk, when an elderly lady in a motorized wheelchair slammed into me from behind. There was plenty of room to pass by, but noooo, trying to run me down like a dog, then giving me the finger and yelling "Watch where you're walking!" is so damn preferable. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

A mother like that is enough to scare the kids.

Looks like she didn't have a leg to stand on.

I'd like to know why this person deserved this? Anyone who voted that care to tell me why?

Looks like the woman didn't have a foothold on the situation before she went off. But OP went toe-to-toe with her to show her up. Yeh, I'm a heel for making up puns, but it is my sole purpose in life.

I wish we could give you a special badge for being so punny!

You have encountered the wild 'mombie' who thinks everything revolves around her and that everyone should adore her cublets.

I have a paralyzed vocal cord from cancer, and I'm always very wheezy, so I have a handicap spot because walking too far will make me black out. I just can't breathe well enough to ambulate that far. I'm also overweight for the exact same reason. No, I don't have a handicap placard because I'm fat.... I feel for you that people don't understand you and judge you unfairly. That mom is a bad role model for her kids. good on ya. Can you whack her with one of those? She needs a clue by four!

I'd be tempted to take a leg off and hit her with it, if I were you

It's REALLY hard to stand on just one prosthetic leg.

Hey man, I'm in (kinda) the same boat... lbka. I always **** with them. "Oh I'm sorry, Dr...????" "I'm not a Dr." "Oh, my apologies Officer..." "I'm not a cop" "So this is none of your ******* business?" And walk away. I always hope they call the cops, but I've yet to walk out to them still standing there with the police.

So sad that she is teaching her kids to think that a prosthesis is something to be scared of. Like you can "catch" an amputation. She should teach her children acceptance and stop being such a ninny. This is the reason some people with autoimmune diseases that attack joints, like Rheumatoid arthritis, don't get a sticker they need. Because even though their feet are in excruciating pain with every step, they rather not be humiliated by someone who can't see their disability.
