I didn't even piss on the seat too much, not sure what her problem was.

OK, that improved my mood.

When I was left the stall, there was a younger (20 something) guy in a wheelchair with I assume his father pushing it.

Father was freaking out that I used the handicapped stall and wasn't handicapped, like it was reserved like a parking spot.

Kid looked mortified.

I was too stunned for even a smart comeback.

There's always a few (or many?) people like that. It's this mentality that society owes them everything. If there's anything they perceive as a slight against them, they'll take the biggest offense at it. The restroom scenario seems to be the most common. I've also heard stories about pregnant women with blue cards having run-ins with handicaps (yet the same people don't give a second thought to loaning their blue-cards to their friends/family for that quick jot to the store).

In college I had a roommate who was here from Taiwan.  He had a borrowed blue card that he used to use all the time even though he was perfectly healthy.  Took my (now) wife and I a while to convince him that it wasn't cool here to use the handicapped spots if you're not actually handicapped.

Arcadiac:
Keep in mind that anyone of us can become a "handicap"  ::) at any time in a New York second, through no choice of your own by accident or illness.

Damn "walkies"  ;D

ARCADIAC!

I had a coworker that did exactly that. No amount of convincing would change her mind. Not even the sup' would do anything about it. She kept parking in the handicap slot right up until the day she was laid off.
