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?

Ok so let's say that he wasn't handicapped at all and he parked in a handicapped parking spot...... Who cares?

Anyone who actually needed that spot would care.

and what if all the spots were taken up with legit parkers? what then? personally i think disabled drivers should have the right to shunt all non blue badge cars from disabled spaces and ahve the able bodied space stealer pay the damge. afterall they are not the only spaces a short distance from thr shop.

You shudnt hv done that to begin with, without making sure that he isnt handicapped. You were MEAN. He just gave u a taste of your own medicine.

How did you not see that coming? Not every disability is visible. Who the hell do you think you are to say that to someone that you dont know?

Exactly. I have mental handicaps and I am legally disabled because of it

My Dad had a friend who used the handicap spots until they adjusted to the leg and had people do this all the time. While this person is clearly adjusted to theirs it's their right if they need it. Don't go around making assumptions and suck it up, you couldn't have parked there anyway. YDi

Your point? It's called "Mind your own ******* business and not assume."

Not to be a bitch here but..if the guy had a prosthetic leg. He would not need to use a handicapped sign if he has a prosthetic leg but if he just got it then he would need one.

My dad has handicap plates because he has two total knees done, a broken back, and because my mom has Parkinsons disease and falls a lot. You want to say my parents don't need handicap parking?

I'm sorry what is your point? Who cares if the prosthetic is new or not. It is really none of OP's business what his disabilities are nor did the guy need to show it. It had to be sweet justice though and would have been great to witness so I could laugh in OP's face after. You totally deserved it.
