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

Technically, I guess one cannot tell the difference between a man and a woman until a medical exam. And one cannot tell if a person is fat by just looking at them. They could just be big boned.
Today, I watched a guy with full mobility, not shuffling, not old, walk spiritedly to his HC placarded car, hop in with no sign of pain or slowness, and back out turning his head fully as he backed up, then drive off. At the same place, I also watched a very old lady get out of her HC placarded car veeerrry slowly, drop her cane, while grasping the seat with one hand sloooowly bent over and picked up her cane, then finally steadied herself to close her car door, and proceeded slowly to the store. Now how many other people like that old lady had to park another 50 or 100 feet away because of that guy, who clearly did not need to park where he parked, took up that space?
