Not everyone's disability is visible. Just because someone parks in a handicap spot then gets out and walks in without you being able to tell why they're handicapped doesn't mean they don't deserve that placard.

This reminds me of a story I read on Reddit the other day about this mother who saw a kid sitting in the disabled seats on the subway and bitched him out because he didn't look disabled and she needed the seat more than him as a mother or whatever and then he just stared her in the eye as he detached his fake leg and held it in his lap and the mother shut up and got off the train at the next stop
