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?

Why even bother telling someone that whether they're handicapped or not? I figure if they're dumb/inconsiderate enough to park there in the first place (if they aren't handicapped) then they aren't going to care what you have to say about it.

You should seriously be ashamed of yourself. I know good people who were and are disabled because of brain injuries/diseases and get dizzy easily. You can't judge what you don't see. That could be one of their only days that they feel good enough to get out and function in day to day life. That could be their first drive in years. I'm glad he hit you with his leg; maybe you won't make other assumptions like an asshat anymore.

You're very delusional if you don't think you deserve this. Why'd you even say anything to begin with? I hope he busted that titanium steal leg off in your ass.

Dumb. Ass.

YDI, not every disability is visible. You need to be educated on other disabilities... I hope you are young (not that that is an excuse), but if you have any position(s) of power--I am surprised you have not been sued...

That is what you get for making stupid assumptions.

As someone who has to use a wheelchair occasionally because of an autoimmune disease I have, I have to say you definitely deserved it for being an assumptive, judgemental douche. Although, I will admit that getting front of the line privileges at Disneyland almost makes up for having to deal with people like you. Almost.
