If I've just been falling for troll bait all evening, I'm going to be very, very frustrated. >.<
Everybody's deep on the internet. I was expecting things like "wearing uggs in public" lol
I'm often judging people who park in handicap spots with placards/plates. I don't mean to offend anyone but... it's a little hard to believe some of these people who park there and they just walk right into a store with nothing wrong. I do realize that conditions are often invisible, especially since mine are very invisible as well. However, parking in a handicap spot usually means you have a physical condition or something I guess.

I judge this, too, but mostly when people take those spots and aren't handicapped i.e. with a blue handicap plate. My dad is handicapped - his arthritis is so severe it's deformed the bones in his body, esp. his feet and hands, so walking is more like limping - but he has better days and parks a bit further away when he's not in too much pain. When he's unable to move his wrists at all or he's quite literally limping the entire way from his car to the store, it's quite disheartening to see that some people (I've watched them get out of their cars, so I know) just take that spot even on days where they're fully able, and my limping father has to take 10min to make his way across the parking lot instead. But that's not even the worst scenario: some people take their parents' or grandparents' plates and use them for themselves! So inconsiderate lol
That's how my dad is. He doesn't have it as bad as yours, but he does have good days and bad days though. He also has tendonitis as well. Most of his problems are his legs, and you can tell by the way he walks sometimes too. He has the plates, but still. I do have to wonder about the amount of people 'claiming' to be disabled enough for a handicap spot. You're right. It's so easy to drive a car with the plates or steal a family/friend's placards and use them for yourself. The problem is that you can't report them because they'll most likely make some excuse to why they need it when they really don't.
I do know you can get them for having a heart defect. Most people with bad enough heart defects can't walk long distances because it could be challenging for their heart, which THAT I understand... I just feel bad about judging some people because most disabilities are invisible, and you can't really judge that person by how they walk. It could be some other invisible reason why they park there... or there couldn't be any reason for it at all.
I was expecting "I don't judge anyone." over and over again.
