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.

This obviously does deserve to be on fml, because your life sucks to be that judgmental. YDI.

I think people are too used to seeing either empty disabled parking spaces or people taking advantage of them to remember there ARE people with disabilities that USE them. But still, they get SO UPPITY about it, it's just a space after all. Yes, it's to help a disabled person out but there's never really a lot about anyway. Plus, morbidly obese people 'qualify' as 'disabled' now so it's not really doing them any good to make it easier for them to get to the stores when they NEED to lose weight. Aaaand thumbs down for an honest opinion in 5....4....

Just because it's honest doesn't mean it's right. It's just s a space? Ok wait till you or a family member needs to use one and see if you care about " just a space".

"Today, some judgmental guy didn't believe I deserved to use the handicapped spot, so, when I hit him with my prosthetic leg to teach him to not jump to conclusions and be rude, he decided to complain about it online instead of apologizing. FML"

Parking in a disabled zone when youu are not disabled is bad, but why would you approach someone and tell them off like that? First of all, you are not a parking officer, it is none of your business, maybe just tell a parking officer if you have to. Second, shit like this could happen. And third, they could have a gun and could be a psychopath. Unless a parking space is more valuable than your life... Also, my elderly grandma, who is not disabled, went in a disabled parking. She cannot walk too far and the centers nearest parking spot to the entrance was disabled. Past stroke and brainbleed. Some bitch abused her over it. Come on, she was 80!

That's why you keep your big mouth shut and your nose out of other peoples business.

People can park in handicap places even if they have something internally that you couldn't even see, something medically. So you would never know if someone is just lying saying they have a bad heart or if they really do. But if they have the tag for handicap parking.. Just leave it alone. It was obviously given to them.
