The "bitch woman's" approach was not good for sure but your response to her demand and your attitude about handicapped people is disgusting. Regardless of how many parking spaces or where they are located in the area, special needs parking is there for a reason. ADA regulations and most states will cite anyone that park or infringes on the handicapped space, even if you go over a cross hatched area by an inch. The woman at CVS should have called the police, not confront and incite you. You on the other hand might want to be more respectful towards handicapped folks - one day you sir might be in a similar situation. We oftentimes need that extra space for egress, you don't.

I had a sassy bitch woman come into a CVS store one time to find me. I had pulled into a parking space next to a handicapped spot and when I got off my big motorcycle, the bike leaned left onto the side stand and the handle bar came to rest above the white line separating the two spots.
Now, this CVS had a row of 8 handicapped spots across the front of it because it was a strip center and management decided to pool ALL the handicap spots in front of that retail location even before CVS moved in. If you were handicapped and wanted to go to the Subway down at the other end, you stupidly had to park at CVS and wheelchair or cripple your way to the far end of the building which was almost a city block away. So I didn't think anything of my handlebar on the white line of the 8th spot although I knew it was there.
So this woman makes a special effort to pull into the CVS (she wasn't already in the store shopping) and came inside. I'm at the magazine rack with my helmet sitting up at chest level on a magazine shelf. I'm wearing all black and a leather vest and had a full beard at the time. She comes stomping up in her flat shoes that made a smacking sound on the tile floor and starts giving me hell over my interfering with the ability of a handicap to get into the store and all about their rights guaranteed by the ADA, etc.
I stared at her and said, "I have no clue what you're talking about." So she goes on and on and eventually informs me I'm parked partially in a handicap spot. I said I was not. She said my bike was leaning into it. I said it was not - the handlebar was on the line and it didn't matter anyway because there were 7 other unused spots there. She went on and on like she was crazy - and she was not even handicapped herself.
I finally said, "Ok, I've had enough of this, you little witch. You shut up and leave or this could get ugly. Who the hell do you think you are coming in here and attacking me when you aren't even handicapped? And who in their right mind at just 5 feet tall goes off on a 6 foot 2 inch 300 pound biker without even speaking in a civilized manner first? If I wasn't a calm person who can endure your mouth I could have split your f*ck*n head open with my helmet and knocked you out cold a long time ago. Get to hell out of my face."
Only then did she realize the potentially hazardous blunder of her actions, and started to head toward the front door but still rotated around at the waist so she was facing me and kept snapping that her now deceased husband was handicapped and they experienced handicap parking spot hogs like me many times and blah, blah, blah... still yacking as she went out the glass doors and left.
This person somehow lost all common sense for some reason, and felt empowered to do and say whatever she wanted, to anybody she wanted, because the subject matter was defending the rights of handicaps. She had stepped outside of reality while on a mission to throw herself in front of a bus over nothing of importance.
I wasn't done in the store yet but I was afraid she might go out and drive her car into my bike intentionally to knock it over so I went to the door and watched her drive off. The paradox was that she had parked crossways at the end of 3 handicapped spots and blocked all 3 while she was inside spewing her wrath, and that was far more of an offense than my handle bar tip hanging on the white line.
