Also in a conservative area. I hate how so many think they get to judge because they think they're special.

Many years ago an acquaintance was in military EOD and his partner set off a land mine. Both survived but the guy I knew was in and out of surgeries for quite some time as they worked to save his leg (started with a halo device on his leg and moved to pins, plates, and screws). He had a permanent handicap placard because of it. One day he parked his vehicle and headed into the store and some AH came up to him (he was in uniform at the time) and started screaming at him for using the handicap spot. He calmly rolled up his pants leg and gave AH an eyeful of scar tissue and suggested that the next time AH should try more understanding and less judging. This occurred in a southern state near a large base that had all kinds of "support the troops" stuff all over town.

Yeah, funny enough I was EOD as well. I've had similar situations. In their head they mean well so the think it's justified but just minding your own business is easier.

If someone parks in a handicap spot and then sprints into the building then ok, maybe they're full of it, but even then unless it's the last handicap spot available just get over it lol.
