AITAH: Am I the A**hole Here?

[Monkeydad]

While anyone who takes a handicapped space and legitimately doesn't need it IS a huge a-hole...I've learned not to judge too quickly.

There are conditions like MS, MD, RA that can come and go and flare up badly at times and some people only need the handicapped space sometimes. You cant always go by the handicapped placards hanging from the mirror either, at least in Pennsylvania...they have plates now that are very subtle and look almost like normal PA plates.


Like others said, if you didn't tell him why you reacted, he'll never know why.

True story , happen at the Monmouth Mall in NJ. My sister who is handicapped had taken her car to the shop and had my Mom's car. Went into the parking garage at MM and the "security detail" met her when she came out of the Mall into the parking garage,she has the tags on her car but my Mom does not and she forgot. The Mall Security detail called the Police on her to issue a summons , when they arrived my sister was outside the car and the Police saw her , told her to have a nice day and let her go ,not before tearing into Mall security,noting that once they knew of her handicap should have let it go.
