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

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

You two clearly started off on the wrong foot.

Seriously? Why would you judge someone like that?

My dad had the same happen to him. Someone scolded him for parking in a handicapped space (he had a permit). My dad has 3 herniated disks in his back and kyphosis, which makes walking long distances extremely painful. Also, his uncle (98 y/o) was also in the car. He has no problems except natural age issues with his hips. (ps, he doesn't look his age.) yet with all this, you can't tell my dad has those back problems and you can't tell his uncle's age so Don't judge

maybe OP wanted that spot for himself? just FYI OP, i dont think stupidity/rudeness counts as a handicap.

Sounds like you're the one who doesn't have a leg to stand on.

that reminds me of when I was released from the hospital for abdominal surgery and I was using a wheelchair in a store and I got a ton of dirty looks from people. those people were judgemental assholes and so are you op.

yeah i remember those looks when i had to use a wheelchair due to a broken leg and arm. despite the massive cast on my leg people still scowled at me. the temptation to trip up said scowlers was almost too much and at 11 years old i probably would have gotten away with it too.

You could not have deserved this more. Even if he hadn't been missing a leg, many disabilities are not visible at all. Screw you OP.
