Road beef

What is it with driver's today that think they're entitled to everything? I have a couple of real beefs to grip out this evening!

First, on the interstate, traffic was a wee bit backed up, and what do some people decide to do? Some we doing their best to weave in and out (not getting where they're going any faster and nearly causing accidents along the way), and others thought where they were going is so important that they can drive on the shoulder and in the parts where no one is to supposed to be driving, only to force their way over at the last minute. WTF?!?

My other beef is one that I've mentioned in a previous blog post. People who wait for you to put away your groceries just so that can get a parking spot. I'm already not a fan of anyone that does this, but today I my disdain for these people had been magnified. As this lady was sitting in her car, it looked like she was balancing her checkbook, this couple who was waiting for the spot started honking like a madman! WTF?!?

I try to be keep a civil tongue about such things, but there comes a point when enough is enough! Next person who tries to get ahead in line on the interstate won't be getting ahead of me, regardless of the danger to them or me! It will serve them right!

As far as the yuppie scum who think they can rush someone out of the spot. Let them do that to me and I'll get out of the car and go right back in the store!

UGH! Excuse me while I let out a primal scream of frustration!

Thanks for reading!

Parking lot holdup

I know we all have things we do in the parking lot that may irk others, such as not returning the carts to the proper place, sitting in the car with the music blaring, etc.

We all always try for the prime spots. Some even take up the handicapped spots (at the risk of getting a ticket). I've never seen anyone hold up an entire line of traffic waiting for a spot, though.

...Until today!!!!

That's right, today I saw what extremes folks will go for a spot. I happened to be parked as close to the door as possible, short of being in the handicapped spot. As I was loading up groceries, this lady (in her pearl white Escalade, btw) decided she had the right to my spot. So, she put her car in park and waited while I loaded up all my groceries, which was quite a task, mind you.

While she was doing this, a line was forming behind her and it was starting to resemble the interstate around rush hour. This woman really wanted my spot.

I was half tempted to be evil and load everything up, then go back inside the store, but I didn't have time to do that. Ice cream was already melting, and it was too hot to leave meat and milk out in the car. So, I juts got in and left.

I can't help but feel irked at this, though. Do people really have to sit there and wait? There were plenty of good spots a little ways down for her to take, but because mine was the closest to the door, she just had to have it. Now, I don't wish to be judgmental. As far as I could tell, there was nothing wrong with her. If there was, then she should have had a handicapped sticker and parked in that spot.

Has anyone else encountered folks that sit and wait for your spot in the parking lot no matter how long it takes?
