you should assume that the person asking is disabled anyway. not all have visible disabilities.

I was wearing shorts

He’ll just lie right back to you and say he lost his mom in 9/11. Mom trumps leg. That’s the rules of liars’ poker.

Dude, you really need to think before you type. Try not to offend anyone.

What’s offensive? I just asked a question.

It literally is impossible now to not offend ANYONE. No matter what is said, someone somewhere will cry and take offense. Grow up and deal with it. It's called real life.

Exactly! And nowadays being offended seems to be a popular hobby.

that's not the only reason to need a seat. balance, trouble standing, etc. also, some disabled people can't stand without getting dizzy but can walk just fine.

I think the handicapped spot is only reserved for people with physical disabilities

Any illness is a physical handicap. You can get a permit to park in handicap spots for certain illnesses.

I imagine two people suffering physical ailments, who probably look perfectly able-bodied from all outward appearances, silently cussing out the other as "not handicapped enough".

That's what I was thinking. I look healthy and can walk normally, but have many horrible back problems. This man could be in the same boat and just didn't want to explain.

he said he was tired. and no one else offered either.

Dude, every one of your comments is just hilarious! They are always so funny and clever. Keep it up!

He seems upset that the guy sitting the seat had a leg up on him.
