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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

You two clearly started off on the wrong foot.

Seriously? Why would you judge someone like that?

you deserved that shit.

Why? Were you planning on parking there for just a minute so you weren't inconvenienced by having to walk an extra 50 feet? You need to learn how to mind your own ******* business and make DAMNED sure that what spews out of your mouth doesn't make you look like a fucktard inbred swamp ****. I frankly hope he ran you over on his way out of the parking lot. You don't deserve a smidgen of sympathy, you douchenozzle.

I've never been known for my subtlety. Besides... it would be wasted on this prick. :) Also: No kids... I haven't got the patience :P I work parking enforcement and the dumbass reasons I hear for these able bodied, no permit carrying people to park in handicapped spaces is nuts... and when people judge others when permit carrying people with some kind of a disability come along just astounds me. Not every handicap is visible.

It's amazing that idiots like OP think they will get sympathy on FML.

Don't feel bad. Cause when we think disabled, we normally think wheel chair.

He should feel bad since intelligent people know to MYOB. I have mental handicaps and I am legally disabled

I am legally disabled with physical challenges that effect my hips and my leg, I am not in a wheel chair and I can bet most people don't notice my challenges either. He most certainly should feel bad for being a total jackass and making stupid assumptions based off of a daft stereotype.

In what world would you think that it would be okay to say that? Even if you know a person isn't handicapped, it's still none if your business.

Hmmmm.... Maybe you should MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

I am picturing in my head right now, but with his prosthetic leg up your ass... YDI.

Many people have a handicap permit without sitting in a wheelchair or requiring a walker. Heart disease, liver failure, neurological disorders and many other etiologies can severely inhibit a person's ability to walk long distances. It'd be nice if you understood that, OP

He was hopping mad.
