I never have either, but then I don't hang out near handicapped parking
spots. I've read lots of reputable articles from people I know who have
been hassled because they parked in a handicapped spot and didn't appear
sufficiently handicapped. There was a yearly newsletter at my former
job put out by the office in charge of helping these people, and there
was often an article written by people I knew, describing their problems
with this. Frankly, I never even knew that most of these people were
handicapped.
