'It's obviously the spot that everyone wants': Worker with injured knee questions if they're wrong for taking the parking spot their pregnant coworker keeps requesting

This person is not going to be making many friends at their office place.

Every now and again, there's a post made to r/AmItheA******, and none of the commenters can agree on who's wrong in the scenario. This is one of those tales. U/NeopolitanGuy1 sparked the debate with their story about a parking space. Every workplace has at least one "good spot," which is usually close to the entrance. It'll be hard to get that spot, though, because it'll be taken by whichever early bird gets to the office first.

The OP writes that they try to get a good spot at their workplace, but a few are reserved for management. So whoever gets their first gets to claim the spot---and the OP tries to be that person as much as possible. They write that they have an old knee injury that causes them pain, so they try to snag the best parking spot. Now, their pregnant coworker is requesting that space, and the OP really doesn't want to give it up.

Interestingly, although commenters were split, the verdict was that the OP was not wrong. But in the comments, the OP went back and forth with Redditors who questioned why they didn't get a disability tag. Seems like even if the OP is NTA online, they're going to isolate the people at their workplace with this incident. Hopefully both the OP and the coworker can get disability tags, or work out a solution so that neither person needs to be in pain while walking to work.

Next up, this person shared a story from the time they were working at a one-hour-photo store, and a customer completely misunderstood how to get her pictures.
