I've got a better one.

My wife needed to run into the grocery store to get some mayo or something so I wait in the corner of the parking lot. There is this car that was parked in the load zone and an old man sitting there with the car off. Well, it was really crowded and it took my wife ten minutes to check out. The whole time this guy is just sitting in the car. I figuired he was waiting for someone to get a couple of things and it was not big deal. Fifteen minutes after I got there, a woman in her thirties comes out with cart full of gorceries. The fricken guy must of sat there for an hour waiting for her. She unloades everything into the car and leaves the cart in the middle of the road. She couldn't push it ten feet up onto the curb. I almost got out and yelled but didn't. 🙁 Some people are frickin morons and lazy.

In Texas, thats the kind of thing that gets you killed.

Reminds me when I first rode with one of my friends from suburban Connecticut and reminded him to kindly NOT flip off bad drivers while driving near the projects here in New Orleans.

I'm glad to see that the holiday spirit isn't being overused....

Dude, try to chill out a little. In the grand scheme of things , that don't mean nothing...

Hard to believe people can find the energy for this sort of thing. I guess thats why we have WARS.

Ornery, I would have done the same thing with one exception: I would have asked my wife to grab the steering wheel while I flipped her off with BOTH hands. Leaving a vehicle unattended in the pickup/drop-off zone is a big No-No. The main reason that activity should not be done is because what happens if there's a fire or an emergency? The necessary equipment will not be able to get close enough to the store to successfully handle the situation.

About two weeks ago, I was in the "drop-off zone" waiting in the car for my wife and daughter outside of a pet store. One gentleman pushed his cart over the curb and then motioned to me because I was blocking the cut-out in the curb which would have made it easier for him to push his cart to his car. I simply "saluted" the individual (and not with my middle finger.) Once he was pushing the cart down to his car, I backed my car up so I was no longer in the way of the curb cut-out. The gentleman then proceeded to thank me when he returned his cart to the store.

Yeah, i'm sure flicking her off and call her a bitch got the point across: SAFETY FIRST, MA'AM.

Just before Halloween, my wife was in JoAnn's Fabrics getting some last minute stuff, as were a billion other people. everybody was waiting in a few long lines and each of the three registers was taking whoever was next in line, as they do at banks and the DMV. Some lady came pushing up to the front of the line to stand at one of the registers. The lady in front of my wife explained to her that they were taking turns etc. She exclaimed loudly, "Well, that's just stupid!" The lady in front of my wife called her a bitch and cut in front of her. She slithered over to another register and waited.

Later, at the Halloween party, I greeted a people as they came in to help out the host. One guest mentioned being at JoAnn fabrics just prior to coming. I asked if she had seen the lady trying to cut in line? She said, "Oh that was me, because I wasn't stupid enough to wait like everybody else!" Sure enough, my wife confirmed it was her. Small world, but I hope she felt like sh|t the whole evening. Trouble is, i still don't think she realized what a POS she is. Same with the bitch in the parking lot. Fvck everybody else, the only person in the world that matters is ME!

If I lived in a ghetto type neighborhood, I'd have considered that it may be thugs parking there, and it most likely would happen more frequently. As it is, our city is patrolled very well and laws and regulations are upheld, much the same way Rudy Julliani handled NY during his term. IMO, this inconsiderate bitch at least deserved to hear what I thought of her, but being towed would have made my day!

Next time you carry a bottle of liquid shoe polish (the kind with foam applicator) and write your kind message on the windshield.

Ornery, in Texas at least (i know you're not from here, but to make a point), it ain't the ghetto people to worry about, its the rednecks. Middle class good 'ole boys with 12 brain cells and 13 guns.

There's a couple of good points being made in this thread:

#1) Quite a few people are saying to not get so worked up over this situation. Life is too short to worry about the actions of others. Just worry about yourself and things will work themselves out.

#2) Ornery, who lives and plays by the rules, was upset at what he saw. Unfortunately, he just expressed how he was feeling. He "vented" - no big deal. After all, it's better to vent than to carry that rage inside you for the rest of the day. However, this is what's going wrong in America. Ten or fifteen years ago, people would have never thought about parking by the curb in a "no parking" zone and then head into the store for a little shopping. Now, people are so stressed-out and rushed that they feel the need to break a few rules ... because they "deserve" it.

People like this lady that Ornery described need to "own up" to their actions and take more responsibility for themselves. She could have easily found a parking space and walked an extra 100 feet to get to the store.

I choose not to have sex with Ornery Jerboys. Thanks for the offer just the same.

 

[SlowSS]

To certain degree, I could understand your frustration with inconsiderate people and there are many out there.
This undesirable behavior is ingrained from their upbringing and will not be changed by you or me calling them a b!tch.

I realize that this incident wasn't first incident you've encountered so I could understand you venting displeasure with that woman.

All I could say is that don't let little things bother you too much and move on with your life, life is too short to waste your energy on idiots.

"Ornery, in Texas at least (i know you're not from here, but to make a point), it ain't the ghetto people to worry about, its the rednecks. Middle class good 'ole boys with 12 brain cells and 13 guns."

I hear ya. When I was in school, some of my friends drove down to Florida. On the way, they flipped off some "good ole' boys" in Georgia. They chased 'em down and ultimately explained to my friends that being flipped off isn't taken lightly. Because of that, I fully understand the repercussions from other areas. Around here, getting flipped off aint as bad as what would have come out of my mouth, and I was ready to let it fly. Why? Not sure, but it ticked me off pretty good. It just isn't done around here!

And i would understand if he did that, even if he did it rudely. But to call her a B*tch and flick her off is more indicative of his weakness than hers. I love the tell it to you face attitude that i see in America. No country on this planet is as brutally honest or forthcoming as America is. But, there are still lines of decency that should not be crossed. I dont' think any of us have a problem with him being mad, or if he was even to take an action such as knocking on her window and telling her that she is not supposed to park there, that it is a fire zone, whatever. But to flick her off and call her a b*tch demonstrates bad judgement. I would simply like to ask him to answer the following question: if your mom had done that, would you have liked it if someone did that to her?

nor would they have thought about flicking off parking violaters and swearing at them. Dropping to someones level is teh sux

 

[Toxic]

Would I have reacted that way? No.

Maybe you should stop driving. What's next? Beating someone up because they cut you off in traffic? 😉

Seriously, ever wonder if she had a PERFECTLY GOOD REASON to park there?

I agree there are a$$holes running about, and I see them everyday. I just try not to become one by pulling
stunts like you described. What purpose did it serve? (other than your gratification). I wonder if the mom walking
by with her 4 year old appreciated your sense of community decency? (Or did you actually check for small children running
about when you did this?)

While I'd agree that the lady was being inconsiderate (barring a good reason for doing it), your actions don't exactly
speak much either. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Flame on baby, flame on

Believe me, being in a fire zone had NOTHING to do with me being pissed, though it would have been the reason for her being towed. I've never been accused of being too polite, but I ain't a pushover either! If my wife hadn't made me wait so long, it probably wouldn't have come to such a head. I may have taken' out my frustration on this person, and I think my wife feels that way, too. If my mom had done that I'd know her stroke had taken a toll, because she's the one who drummed into me, the fact that you obey the rules... ALWAYS! I still make rolling stops and drive a few miles per hour over the limit, but I never pull this kind of crap. Stoop to her level? Yep, I'm guilty this time, but courteous on the road otherwise!

Yeah, but if someone doesn't let these people know what they're doing wrong, who will? Maybe flipping them off is going too far. What would be a kinder, gentler way of getting the message across? Pulling up their vehicle and reminding them that they were parked in a "no parking" zone?

Thats what I was saying man, you dont know the woman's history. What if she had suffered from a stroke, maybe it was an emergency run to the grocer's pharmacy... it could be any number of things. I'm not saying don't confront her, by all means, thats you right, but i think its wrong to call the woman a bad name and flick her off.

I know any one of us here on AT would be mad if that happened to our mom's, no matter WHAT she did.

IF I felt so strongly about it, I would have done that personally. Does she know she is wrong? Probably (unless there is some other factor, i.e. she's on medication, bad memory, something else...). Even though she should know to abide by the rules (he said she was like 50), sometimes, people need to be reminded. If, after attempting to remind her about it, she decides to cuss him out, then he has every justification to return favor. But to flick off and call her a bitch due to bad parking was bad judgement IMHO.

If I heard somebody yell at my mom, because she had done something wrong, I'd cringe, maybe tell them to back off, but I'd be pretty disappointed in my mom. You're giving this person the benefit of a doubt, and I'm not. I've heard that in Japan, you can leave your purse on a park bench and know it will be there when you return. Something about the family name being shamed if you get caught stealing. Can't say the same about The States or even the city I live in. I can't trust anybody, and for that same reason, they don't get the benefit of a doubt, either.
