[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to take my son to the doctor and he was late to school this morning. I parked in the handicap spot and hung the placard in the mirror. As I walked towards the front door of the school there was a gentleman sitting on a bench outside. I greeted him with a hello and he said "that spot is for handicap people". [b]I explained that I had my placard that allows me to park there. He took one look at my son and said "he's not handicapped". [/b]I wanted to explain my son's condition to him but was feeling fairly annoyed. I just ended up telling him his condition and that he was in fact handicapped.  He didn't seem convinced, it didn't even register with him. This is my first time encountering something like this. Part of me is posting this to rant but the other part has me wondering - if the kid's not in a wheel chair will they think we're parking illegally? That he's not legitimately handicapped? We don't park near the door just to get a free spot.  He really needs this. As I left I was ready to rail into him if he made one more comment. Jerk. I was already having a bad morning and this just pushed me over the edge.[/quote]

The man was wrong.  The only comment you owe him after he says "He's not handicapped" is "His doctor and the state disagree with you."  e.g. "You're an ass and you're wrong."[/quote]
