Today, as I was getting out of my car, an old and obese lady walked up to me and called me an "inconsiderate heartless bitch" for using the last handicap parking spot. I guess she didn't see my wheelchair. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was taking a walk, when an elderly lady in a motorized wheelchair slammed into me from behind. There was plenty of room to pass by, but noooo, trying to run me down like a dog, then giving me the finger and yelling "Watch where you're walking!" is so damn preferable. FML
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 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, I was sitting in a parked car. A woman was having difficulties maneuvering out. She honked the horn repeatedly for me to move, then looked me in the eye and called me a "f**king bitch", before driving off. I was in the passenger seat. FML
Today, I was walking to my dorm room while it was snowing heavily. I saw a girl in a wheelchair trying to get up a slippery incline. Being a good person, I asked to help. I'm a pretty weak guy, and I couldn't push her up. She wheeled away crying because she thought she was fat. FML
Today, while leaving work, I noticed a woman struggling with her wheelchair. Trying to be kind, I grabbed the handles and began to push her. A few moments later, the front wheels caught on something and I ended up dumping her onto the ground. Now my coworkers all think I'm a huge douche. 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 really had to pee so I took the only stall that was available in the bathroom: the handicapped stall. A girl in a wheelchair came in seconds later and cursed at me for taking her designated spot. FML
Today, an old lady asked me the way to the shopping mall. The shopping mall was not too far away, but I could see that the lady could barely walk so I offered to drive her there. She smacked my car's door into a pole while getting in my car. She didn't even notice that she'd done something wrong. FML
Today, I parked in a disabled bay so I could drop my son off at his appointment. My son uses crutches and has a blue badge. As I was trying to leave, an absolute Karen started chewing my ass for using a disabled bay while “not looking disabled”, then lay under my wheels to stop me leaving. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She could have a disability that means she is on medication that makes her put weight on or can't do sport. She still sounds like a jack-arse but her being fat might only be a symptom not the cause of her disability.

How are you getting out of a car with a wheelchair?

You think everyone confined to a wheelchair has to be aided in everything they do by some able-bodied person? I've seen videos of how it's done, maybe you can look one up on youtube or something.

Folding wheelchair goes in the back or passenger seat, take it out, reattach the wheels and open it up. Grab your car keys, left hand on the door handle right on the seat or grab handle, swing to the chair and close and lock your door. Not the fastest thing ever, but no working legs doesn't necessarily mean never driving again these days.

I feel for ya, OP. I have a placard due to severe health issues and sometimes walk with a cane. I am very young and definitely look able bodied and I get glared and yelled at all the time and it makes me feel embarrassed. :(

An inability to say no to food is not a disability.

Obese people should not be allowed to be handicap

People debating if age and obesity are disabilities: it doesn't matter if they are or not. OP had a right to the disabled park and shouldn't have been bitched out by anyone, disabled or not, for parking there.

Ugh, here come the unoriginal "Only in America!" comments. Anyway OP, I hope you stood up for yourself. People have no proper manners anymore.

I catch shit and dirty looks on a semi-regular basis. To the average observer I look reasonably young (in my 30's) and healthy (maybe 20 extra pounds). And yet I drive a car with a handicapped placard. I get judged every time I get out of in a blue spot. I beat up my knees in the Army in the 90's and they've just been getting worse since. IU have significant pain when I walk sometimes and yet I don't show it. Or look old. Or wheelchair bound. I've caught douchebags about to key my car for it. Just because someone doesn't look like they can't walk much doesn't mean they can't. This is not related to OP's case. Just a tangential comment.
