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

Seriously? Why would you judge someone like that?

Next time just shut up and don't judge others so quickly. I dislike people like you. YDI.

Message received. Next time, check out the handicap sticker/badge over the car mirror or on the license plate before making a comment. Not everyone fits your visual understanding of what handicap should look like. Some people have perfectly fine legs but have heart condition making it unwise for them to walk long distances.

I see people without proper decals in handicapped spots everyday. There are people that need them more. YDI OP for not being more observant. Look for the decal first.

Although my favorite are the men that take the expectant mother spots. Only 1 person in the car. It wouldn't be the first time I asked when they were due. Or if it was a boy or girl.

Serves you right!!! People who just assume others aren't handicap are the worst! Just because someone isn't in a wheelchair or walker, doesn't mean they don't have an actual reason for parking in the handicap spot. As someone who is one of those who has a nonvisible handicap, I'm glad he hit you.

Furthermore, a lot of people have disabilities that don't show. Beginning stages of MS or Parkinson's? Hell even asthma in some places. Mind your own business, and good for him!
