She can walk and isn't obese so naturally said dickheads assume she's fine. Nevermind her multiple back surguries, ruined lower back, knee surgury and lingering trouble, constant severe joint pain, and other issues that are invisible to the naked eye.
Around here in OH, at least, you have to have pretty good documentation to get one of those placards and while some corruption exists it isn't particularly commonplace. The large majority are legitimate. Maybe it's different in your state.

I don’t berate people for it, it isn’t my style. I wouldn’t assume the worst of someone enough to actually confront them about it
In Texas it’s abused. Doctor’s note and some other stuff as far as I know. Lots of obese get them. I don’t like it because in a major city like Houston, spots are hard to come by and you may have to walk. People have children with muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy who need those spots to unload a wheelchair and they can’t because a 600 lbs person took it
To each their own bud, but I confess it’s perhaps my #1 pet peeve. That or poorly disciplined children whose parents give them everything they want
