This morning, I was at 7-11 getting a cup of coffee. I was heading out to my car when I noticed a mini-van parked *very* close to the left side of my car. The mirrors had only a 3" gap between them - and clearly, I couldn't get into my vehicle. I waited a few minutes and then realized which lady owned it as I could see her shopping in the convenience store like she was in a regular grocery store. Finally, I walked into the store and announced: "Who owns the green minivan out front?" The lady appeared and told me it was hers. I asked her to move it so I could get my car out of the parking space. She went outside -- with a handfull of food items that she had not paid for yet. Clearly, her van was over the yellow parking line and invading my area. As she was getting into her van, she said: "You didn't have to get such an attitude about it." Now, I can't figure out where I had the attitude. Clearly, I waited a few minutes to see if she'd re-appear to get her van out of the way. Then, I just walked in the store and asked for the owner of the van to move it so I could get out. And, I'm the one who gets labeled a bad person?? What has happened to our society??
