Same with me, Im on disability, can see it but I feel it (spinal injuries) I have handicapped plates as I cant carry heavy items far and so on, but I get people looking at me like Im taking a handicapped space using someone elses car or something, as I look strong as a Bull. I even had a few handicapped people that supposedly thought I was an able bodied soul come and vent at me... well they more than got an earful back ( depending on the attitude they had towards me ) I usually take a standard space close so the elderly can have the handicapped spaces, or I take a space further back so they have the closer ones ( depending on if Im getting alot of stuff ) so I am very considerate of them, not making judgement that they are 90 and walking like they are 20 and hop on a moble scooter inside the store???? Hell, I could use the scooter too but I dont even when my back is giving out and hurts like a MoFo at times. And all this when I am 44... not like Im some young punk being ignorant as I have seen Kids driving and parking in the handicapped spaces... yes, able bodied kids and the cops dont do anything. They get out laughing, piggy back riding eachother, jumping and running around in the lot to the store... yeah, they are not handicapped.
