Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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 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
Today, a co-worker and I walked out of our office at the same time. He got in his car, which was parked right out front. I asked him what I had to do to get a sweet parking spot like that. He rolled up his pant leg and show me his prosthesis. He was in the handicapped spot. FML
Today, while shopping, an old man came up to me and told me I should be ashamed for walking around fake limping, and that it's horrible to mock people who actually limp from serious injuries. I wasn't faking, I was born without my right leg and I was getting used to my new prosthetic one. FML
Today, a driver stole the parking space I was about to pull into. I politely asked him to move. He had a go at me, so I kick his car twice, in front of a few witnesses. The car is fine. I ripped two ligaments in my foot and I'll have a cast for a month. FML
Today, I was at Walmart. A guy in a mobility scooter bumped into me, then told me to "get the fuck out of the way." When I told him to watch his mouth, he got up and shoved me into a shelf. Just a few minutes prior, he'd yelled that he was paralyzed from the waist down. 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, I was brutally run over by a man in a wheelchair. FML
Today, at my job as a supermarket manager, I had to break up a fight over a handicapped parking spot, in which an elderly man nearly got beaten over the head with a prosthetic leg. This wasn't what I expected when I was told I'd been promoted. FML

Seriously? Why would you judge someone like that?

#26, um . . . stupidity?

So.. He had a prosthetic leg. So he could probably walk, right? Then why park in a handicapped spot?

Can't figure out if this guy is trolling. Otherwise, the concentrated stupidity from this comment could be weaponized.

Maybe it is painful to wear a prosthetic? Maybe it makes walking difficult? I don't have one, so I wouldn't know and therefore cannot have an informed opinion. He deserves that spot and OP deserved to be punched for being a nosy jerk.

Maybe he has two prosthetics and only hit OP with the one

You shouldn't criticize someone when you don't have a leg to stand on. On the other hand, if he's able-bodied enough to beat up the OP, should he really be using that spot?

He was most likely in his car le genius

Exactly. Mind your own ******* business, OP. YDI for being a nosy jerk.

After my wife had back surgery, she was given handicapped parking due to an inability to walk long distances. She was constantly harassed by people like the OP. Regardless of the handicapped parking sticker on the car, people felt it necessary to let her know she shouldn't use it. Ultimately, she decided the pain of walking long distances was better than the harassment received from strangers. I'm glad he hit you. Maybe you will think twice about judging and confronting someone without any details.

OH man, I'm sorry that people hassled your wife. People do that with my cousin all the time. She has a blood clot that cannot be removed by surgery and if she exerts herself too much, it can dislodge and kill her. People give her shit about a lot of things that she can't do anything about. I want to sucker punch every single one of them. They do not know what it's like to have a ticking time bomb inside ready to go off. People need to stop judging others for things like this. It's ridiculous.

She shouldn't care about what a complete stranger tells her.

#83, you are a douche. No one is immune from harassment. In fact, I bet you will whine about me calling you a douche. You might not type it out, but when you read it, you will care.

#43 Tell your cousin to get a greenfield filer. I had to get one because at the ripe old age of 20 I had a heart attack due to a blood clot. They suggested the filter and it has done wonders for me. 5 years and 17 clots later I'm still ticking.
katt_is_here 24
Hey, thanks. I'll tell her.

83, She might not care what other people think of her, but, whether she does or not, it's pretty damn obnoxious when people start harassing you. If you ignore them, they might just follow you and bitch at you more. Plus, if you don't correct people when they are wrong, they might do it to other people, potentially people with low self esteem, or who are in trouble.

YDI. My aunt has cancer, and due to the treatment she gets a Blue Badge as she cannot walk very far or very fast. She's constantly being shouted at for "wasting spaces" . Don't judge OP.
