    Fun story time that, for legal reasons, is a complete fabrication:

    Was going food shopping one weekend. No smaller carts inside so walked out and went to one of the drop offs to grab one. On the way back, I see someone put their car into reverse from the “ramp”. Some people stop and wait for them to leave. I just keep walking and pushing my cart while considering my speed “just in case”.

    They IMMEDIATELY peel out and smash into the cart. It goes under their tire and rips off most of the bumper and pops their tire (which was fucking terrifying). They get out and start screaming at me and threatening to call the cops and kick my ass. I explain “So… you are going to call the cops and explain to them you didn’t look when backing up from an illegal parking space and hit a pedestrian? I’m in a bit of a rush but I guess I can stick around for that”. Lady who was trying to get her walker out of her car even volunteers to be a witness.

    Had a good old laugh and walked to get a new cart. They were still there freaking out when I left the store.

    Not that it’s necessarily the case here, but I destroyed my knee and had crutches etc for a while, and I just got a tag to hang from my mirror.

    Someone walked up before I got out of the car yelling about how I can’t park there, and then I got out with my crutches and knee wheelie and pointed at the handicap tag on my rear-view mirror.

    Again, probably not the case here, but I had that thing for about a month, and I caught a ton of dirty looks and stuff because people assumed all handicapped indicators are on license plates.
