I have a woman in my community that is faking a handicap and receiving first seating on her aircraft travel, first to disembark.?

She gets to be dropped off at the front gate and then pushed around the airport. This woman has a job where she stands on her feet for 8 hours. She is boasting about this act in public!

She has so many excuses to get away with it! "I have a 'trick knee' and I could fall down in public and then not get up...I don't want that to happen to me in public' If I am up on my feet I will hurt in the next morning and can't walk for the next three days' ...etc. etc. ....but she boasts about this rouge in public and about all the special amenities she receives by this little scheme.

Do I just ignore these actions, contact some handicap association, airport authorities...what?

Update:

Oh! Ron! I've misled you! This woman works in a public food service store and was bragging to her fellow employees about the advantages she receives by this deceptive action. To me she is a complete stranger.

Update 2:

The sad truth is: It's just better to go with the flow and ignore the entire thing. Parking in Handicap spaces is vigorously prosecuted without medical qualification...and that's the end of it. It's not a thing of physical disability, it is entirely an entitlement of document alone!

    While it is very sad that people may do such a thing, if it does not have any direct adverse affect on you, it is really none of your business. However, if you happen to be in on a conversation in which she is boasting about her fraudulent behavior, feel free to voice your opinion of her behavior directly to her.

    What the heck. There are two things you can do.

    1. Ignore her drama and focus on yourself. She's just taking up time in your head with thoughts about her lies.

    2. Contact the people she is taking advantage of. It's worker's compensation fraud.
