"Well, you don't look stupid to me."

Hee hee...

I once said something very similar to someone once who commented on my placard.

I've got pretty bad scoliosis, and as a result once in a while my back bothers me something severely (usually on Monday mornings after I've spent the weekend doing yardwork).

I hardly ever actually use my handicap parking privileges, only when I'm in such bad pain that walking is almost impossible. One time, I used it at the mall a week or so before Christmas. I'll admit, I wasn't hurting all that much at that point, but I knew after two hours or so of walking around the mall I'd need a quick exit to the car after the shopping was done.

As I got out of the car, a lady comes up to me and my wife (she was with me) and said,
"Hey, you can't park there...you don't look disabled."

To which I politely replied,
"Well, you don't really look all that ignorant to me, but I guess looks can be deceiving, eh?"

And then I continued on my way.

As I got out of my car and was sort of limping to get everything working a pickup pulled up in a handicap space and a young guy and chick “jumped out” pretty quick. I commented that he didn’t look all that handicapped.

He went into a rage, pulled up his shirt to show surgery scars, did that little “In your face” dance and started screaming about how he was disabled.

I replied with “Well, you sure proved me right.” I figure it he had that much energy he could have parked 5 or 6 spaces down and saved the spot for “SOMEBODY THAT REALLY NEEDED IT”.

Ok.

But not bad enough to keep you from driving.
