Do some people look for ways to get irritated or feel cheated?

I am sorry if my post irritated you. That was certainly not my intent. I never stated that I was irritated or felt cheated. I did state that I felt that was why some people felt skeptical. I am no position to know who is or is not handicapped.
Years ago, I was on a business trip and a group went out to dinner. One of the people had driven there, so she drove us to the restaurant. When we got to the restaurant she pulled into a handicap parking space. Her car had a handicap license plate because her husband, who was not in the vehicle at the time, was confined to a wheelchair. When this happened, it did not make me feel cheated, it made me upset that someone who was handicapped may have not been able to park in a handicap space because of her action.
Again, my apologies for upsetting you or anyone else who read my previous post.
