No Parking

Dear Driver of the White Jaguar:

You may be wondering why the back end of your car was hanging so far out of the space in the supermarket parking lot.

That would be because it was not a parking space at all.  I’m not sure where you come from, but around here we call those metal bars that were already in the spot a “cart corral.” It’s there so people (well, responsible people, anyway) can stash their carts when they’re finished so they don’t roll all around the parking lot banging into cars.

And I do hope that the cart I nestled in between your fender and the corral didn’t do TOO much damage.

    What? You only put one cart in there? Now a nice responsible citizen would have wandered around the parking lot and jammed some more in there.

    I know that driver, but around here she drives an Escalade and makes her own space at the end of the row in the traffic lane. Because really, you only need one lane, right?

    My driver’s pet peeve for the week is the two separate dads this week who insisted on whipping into the daycare parking lot “exit,” (which is clearly marked “exit”) thereby nearly causing a small fender bender for the parents like me who actually use the exit to enter the highway.

    GRRRRRR
