That is who. And yes, there are plenty of them out there! 
I was called that one day a few years ago. I was going into a KMART w/my cane and this old man was there w/his wife and pointed at me and said, "Ohhhh look! A cripple!".
I wanted to belt him w/the cane but walked away instead not forgetting nor forgiving.
They don't get it until some day it is THEM.
Those that are disabled or handicapped. 
I wasn't raised like that and i don't know anyone who is raised like that, either.
Spineless SOBs the lot of them. 
Great story. And you gave that a-hole exactly what he deserved. Kudos on that!
I can't even count how many times I'm crossing a street with the pedestrian crossing signal and some jerk making a left turn gets all pissed off that I'm in his way. They get 3/4 of the way through the turn and slam on their brakes right before the crosswalk. I just stop right in front of them and stare, giving them the evil eye. I then take my sweet time walking the rest of the way to the curb. It's amazing how long it can take to walk that last 10-15 feet or so. It's so exhausting that sometimes I need to stop to rest a couple of times. 
And I'm with you on the handicap parking spots. It pisses me off royally when I see someone park there that shouldn't. I always check those spots when I walk by them on my way into the store and if I see a vehicle w/o handicapped plates/stickers/hang tags, etc., I report them. They always thank me for letting them know and immediately call the manager. More than once, and at more than one store, I've seen the manager out there arguing with the guilty party when I return to my car. It's good to know that they take these things seriously. I know I sure do. So I guess you can put me down as a Nazi for handicapped parking spots too. Glad to join your group. From the looks of it, I'd say I'm in good company. 
he or she gets on the intercom and makes a public announcement "May I have your attention please. Will the owner of such-n-such a car (description) please move it. You're parked in a handicapped spot."
Sometimes that's actually happened. And it's SUPREMELY satisfying!
Frankly, my husband doesn't always use his handicap permit, even though he's fully entitled to it. Sometimes he's in the mood to walk the extra few steps. But there are others who need that privilege all the time, and they're the ones for whom that allowance was intended. And, annoyingly enough, it's often somebody in a jogging outfit or a young-to-40-something able-bodied adult who should know better, who pulls this shit - mainly because they're lazy, or maybe just plain inconsiderate. In such a case I suppose they must be mentally handicapped.
but that would be awesome! Shame is a great motivator. At the stores I have complained to, the manager heads right out to the car. If there's no one in it, they wait. And if security happens by, the manager will flag them down for good measure. It's great to see them dressing down an asshat. Especially when they mention how much they could be fined for parking illegally. I remember I overheard a manager and the security person chewing out someone that had an expired hang tag (like, expired by a year or two) and they really let him have it. They were NOT AT ALL happy that the driver was trying to pull a fast one by using an old tag. I stopped and watched, just for good measure.
I remember being particularly ticked when I saw a 20-something park in the handicapped spot, hop out of his car, and bound in to the store. Pissed me off no end, especially because there were plenty of open spots just 2 or 3 spots further away. Seriously? You should be GLAD that you're healthy and don't need to use a handicapped spot. At any rate, any time he saved by parking there was more than negated by the time he spent talking to the manager.
Mentally handicapped. I think you're on to something. That's probably the case with the guy that my Dad saw park his morotcycle in a handicapped spot.

I'm so envious of Canada!
Both mean kick (by posting a comment)and recommend ( the rec button in the OP.)
Good to have you here...ask all the questions you need answered. 
I feel a little stupid asking, because I've seen it so many times and was never sure. I've been coming to DU for a while, but never really posted... the regulars always beat me to the punch, and usually with more clever comments than I would come up with anyway 
But in the past few days I've been scolded repeatedly here on DU for failing to empathize with these sweet little Trump voters.
I believe it was Cha that posted this image as part of a meme the other night.
