It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon and I'm just lounging around on my front steps area.
My house is on a cul-de-sac FACING the direction of the street at the end. This is only unique to my house where as all the rest of the houses are facing each other.
1. The street is narrow that it only allows one side street parking, and only one more car width of traffic is manageable.
2. There is an open house on the street, 2 houses down from me.
3. Immediately on the left side of the road, there is a street sign from the town indicating "NO PARKING ANYTIME". Because if you park there, you are effectively blocking the half of my driveway.
This early-middle aged in a Benz coupe pulls up and parks in front of my driveway, where it's clearly marked no parking. She and her prepube teen get out of the car. Our eyes met and I told her, "I'm sorry you can't park there." She suddenly got bit emotional and started to give me an attitude right away- "Really? Not even for five minutes? You know what, forget it." She got back in the car and pulled into the house's now-available spot.
They both get out again and her 12 year old still waiting-for-her-period daughter gives me a stink eye the entire time.
I was appalled. This hag pulls up in front of my house and starts to give ME an attitude?
I was an inch away from putting her to her place. But I decided not to.
Now that I'm older, I don't have time for this crap and if there are things I wanna say, I say it. I no longer stew and simmer.
Should I have been more graceful and am I being petty? To be frank parking there poses no direct impact to me, since I can still squeeze out with my car.
Cut the "coolcoin eligible" crap, sweety. The Mods don't love you. We tolerate you . . . barely.
