And another entry, kept separate so the comments don’t get mangled together.
People at work are morons. Well, at least when they get in to their cars. When driving home today, the first thing I noticed with amusement was that the “Lot Full” sign that I’ve mentioned a few times was not only knocked over, but appeared to have been run over a few times.
The second thing I noticed with dismay was an idiot in a minivan trying to pull out of a parking spot in front of me. He/she was stuck in the middle of what would probably end up being a 10-point turn, causing traffic to back up. And of course, I was stuck right there. So I’m sitting there for a good 10-15 seconds when I catch motion out of the corner of my eye, and I see a car pulling out… right in to the corner of my car!
We scrape corners… and I shout something out… then pull forward into an empty slot (the minivan is still doing its thing), and get out to assess the damage.
The guy gets out, he knows he was at fault, he’s already got his insurance information out. It’s not that bad, the right-rear light is scratched and the corner is dented in. I remain calm, because I know it could have been worse and the guy is no where near denying anything. I get his information, we exchange extensions, and I get back into my car.
And as I pull out, the car behind me (which was well behind me as I pulled out) honks their horn… as if to say “what are you doing, pulling out in front of me?! You just cost me 5 seconds of my life!” and then zooms off to the left as we get to an intersection in the parking lot.
Morons.
Yeah, I’m becoming of the opinion that there’s something about proximity to car materials that disables nueral activity. I’m excepted from this rule, of course.
I dont why but every time i park in a lot, without fail, some huge freakin van/SUV/truck parks on either side so my view of oncoming cars are blocked when i’m trying to pull out of my space *shakes fist*
