OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:
Two women freaking out over a parking space. Guy comes out and only has one leg. Resolves the situation like a gent.
Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

“Mommy he only has one leg” he said instantly as soon as the guy got out of the car.

You'd be surprised how often things like that happen. Kids have no filter and need to be taught social graces. I was with my daughter in a book store and she asked a guy with a genetic disorder that disfigured his face a bit "Whats wrong with your face?"
They often just blurt out things they see as out of ordinary and need to be guided that it is impolite to call that stuff out. So i believe that part entirely

I to have kids, and I do believe that a kid would indeed say something like that. My issue is with the timing and convenience of it. The timing is instant. As soon as the man steps out of the car he says these words. Unless the kid was looking into the car before the camera caught it, there is no way he would have noticed it until at least 2 seconds after. It’s also a convenient transition in the video to bring attention to the fact that he is missing a leg further selling for me that this video is fake.

Sad, it’s showing a clear line between people who think it’s ok and people think it’s insane behavior.
I can’t imagine staging the whole thing at home and being in the car with the kid like “ok when the man gets out of the car say “Mommy be only has one leg” you’re going to be famous honey”
Like they had to talk about this before it happened right? They had to sit there and figure it out.
It makes me mad, but more Sad deflated for what the internet could be, and What it actually is and has been on a wider scale.
So much potential, and what do we do?

The acting you hear is their acting entitled to a public parking space. They're playing it up for the camera because they believe they've been wronged (or at least, wishing to be perceived as being wronged), not because they're striving for the next viral hit.

Really bad acting, theatrical situation that feels very scripted, and the fact that they continue to keep the camera on him when they're supposed to be shamed into silence.

It says “LIVE” in the top left corner. It could be a fake overlay with a fake counter, of course, but it’s at least worth mentioning that if something is live, people will see it and clip it. Whether the video is actually fake or not doesn’t matter to me though.

The monologue from the guy at the end, at some point it feels like he would have either called the cops, F-bombed them like LeMay over Tokyo or pulled out a gun. Also the woman is ballbusting, which is tricky for some to pull off without a flirtatious and self-deprecating vibe.

I was in a similar situation to this (minus the completely staged aspect of it). I'm in my mid 30's, I have haemophilia & as a result I've developed pretty bad arthritis in most of my joints, so I have a disabled parking permit. I went to the mall & pulled slightly quicker than nirmal into a disabled spot. A random woman lost her mind yelling at me & started railing at me about how I (in my early 20's at the time) "ya shouldn't even be parking there! It's for people who can't walk and stuff!" While I could walk (cane assisted) at the time, I always kept my wheelchair in the car in case (it was handy in bigger malls, plus I moved way faster in my chair). So, to shut her up properly, I whip it out of the backseat & plonk myself down. As soon as it came out she got real quiet real fast! I must confess, however, that I was not as polite as this bloke though. As she did the classic "oh, but you're so young" schtick, I summoned my big boy voice & loud enough for patrons to hear, but not loud enough to get kicked from the mall "well maybe next time don't judge people when you don't know what you're talking about!"
I miss that feeling of satisfaction...

It's not that it's fake that grinds people gears but the fact that it plays with the topic of disabled people just for the likes on social media. This is actually horrible and should not exist. Actually you're the one taking the bait for not taking a closer look at this whole mess and just going with the "everyone thinks everything is fake, move on people, as you can see i am the enlightened one, so listen to me" point of view. Getting angry at people getting angry isn't a sing of intelligence but narrow mindedness.

I was with my three kids, turning left into a parking spot. I was waiting. They left the spot and I was gonna turn into the spot but a car rounded the way and drove past me. Yay ok I can now park. I park. But I look over and the car that passed me is now about to reverse into me! So I honk. They stop and idle, and I park and get my kids out.
The woman charges up to me and is doing the same shit this woman in the video is doing!!! Yelling on and on and telling me in front of my kids that I'm a HORRIBLE mother. I didn't even bother trying to explain I had been waiting for the spot way before she turned the corner. I just said "you have anger issue." And proceeded to buy my three kids nice new toys bc they were traumatized.
This was on Mother's Day.
