So this argument between me and my friend F. actually happened a little over a week ago but I had no idea this sub existed until today. To understand the issue we had you need to know that I'm technically considered disabled, both due to various chronic illnesses as well as due to being blind on one eye and visually impaired on the other. I am not however mobility impaired. The visual impairment disqualifies me from driving any vehicles so one of my friends usually drives me when I have to go to the city for some reason, in this instance for a new pair of shoes as the soles started to separate on my current pair. F. had to go to the city to run errands anyway and invited me to come along, which I was very thankful for. 

When we arrived in the city there were a lot of people and the parking spots near the shoe store were all taken except for one disabled parking spot. The next open parking spot was two blocks away. F. thought that we should park on the spot reserved for disabled people because, after all, I *am* disabled. I on the other hand was very insistent that we park the two blocks away and just walk to the shoe store since, while I am disabled I am not in fact mobility impaired and think the special parking spots should be reserved for people who need the additional space for their mobility aids. Not only that, I also felt uncomfortable because I thought people would stare at and judge me because you'd have to look very very closely to notice that there's something wrong with me. I do not look disabled. We had a short argument in the car, she said I was narrow-minded and ornery, I responded that I couldn't morally take up a parking spot that wasn't meant for me and didn't want to be shamed by people... Long story short, we parked 2 blocks away and walked. 

Now it's not like that made a dent in our friendship or anything, as soon as we left the car we both moved on but she was jokingly pestering me about it this morning and I just want to know whether I'm the asshole in the situation for making us walk 2 blocks because I was afraid of people judging me or if I was justified in asking her to park somewhere else. My friend knows how thankful I am for her help as I tell her so often, and neither of us had or have any ill feelings towards each other about the argument. It was more of a friendly squabble anyway, we're not the type to actually fight or make a big deal out of stuff like that. I just want to know if I should apologize to her and behave differently next time.
