A-Hole Award for January goes to.......

Philip Kinstler pulled into the Pleasant Hill, Calif., Target parking lot in his hand-controlled van on the night of Jan. 11. He noticed the black SUV across from him lacked handicap plates or a placard and was in a handicapped spot.

Kinstler, who has been using a wheelchair for more than 30 years, saw a woman sitting inside the SUV. He plunked down his metal ramp to get out of his van and decided to go tap on her window.

He pointed to the handicapped sign. “I thought I would ask her kindly if they could not park there again, in a handicapped spot,” he told The Washington Post on Friday morning.

That single request, according to Pleasant Hill police, would lead the woman’s partner to track down Kinstler inside the Target and demand he apologize to her.
