Whereas the missive I'd prefer to leave on a windshield or five is 
caused by people with temporary (or permanent) handicap stickers, but 
literally no mobility or visible handicap I can discern that warrants 
being able to park specially. However, in many of these cases, I've been 
able to find another reason for their markings:

   "I've been following you about to see whether the Handicapped Sticker 
was for your driving or parking (I hesitate to use the word 'skills', 
under these unfortunate circumstances). I'm so sorry that you seem to be 
doubly cursed."
