I just need to vent about people who are completely unaware of anything in the universe.
I drive some pretty junky cars back in my poor days. When I finally got a nice one - a used Cougar, but it was nice - I quickly decided to park well away from everyone, especially cars that looked like they’d been through a derby.
I’m driving the Silver Dodo now, and out of respect (and acknowledgement of my parking/unpacking limitations) I park at the far end of the lot so I don’t take any extra fenders with me when I leave.
Out here, we’re never wanting for parking spaces, and I know that’s not common everywhere, but there’s really few places I go where I can’t be a dozen spaces from another vehicle.
I was in a lot like that yesterday. Way out at the edge all alone.
I come back to the truck to find a brand new BMW parked on my driver’s side. Close. Well sure, he could still get in his car, because he was parked with his passenger side toward me. I however need to fully open my door to climb in.
I saw that and said “What a .........!” Didn’t notice the guy was right behind me until he said “excuse me???”
I just gave him a dirty look and got my stuff in the back end.
Then I start to unlock my door and he yells “you better not hit my door!”
I swore at him and said “I don’t give two (expletives) about your door, you (expletive). You park that close to me I’ll total that pop can.”
So this guy is of course substantially larger than I and about my age, starts walking towards me.
I’m not having it.
“Bring it, gramps. You come near me I will flip your off switch.”
One of these days imma get myself killed like that, but so far it’s worked, lol.
