Last night we had dinner with my Brother in law and his wife. We always have the best time with them. They are super funny and have a really nice apartment. They got this amazing Indian take out. We drank wine and had dark chocolate. It was the best evening.
We got home close to eleven. As Matty and I pulled into the apartment parking lot we saw that someone had parked in our assigned parking place. WTF?
It was clearly not anyone who lives in our building. We all have one assigned space and everyone respects that. So I knew it wasn't someone who lived here. It had to be somebodies guest. Who does that? Who just parks in someones ASSIGNED parking place?
I stayed in the driveway idling for a minute or two thinking that whoever it was would see that I was waiting for them to get their ass out of my spot. But nope. Nobody came.
I pulled out of the driveway and parked on the street, not near the Juicy Catour hookers house though. I don't really care for parking on the street even though there is pleanty of parking available there, when we have an assigned space that I can use. I was so irritated. When I came inside I wrote a note.
Hey doucher, this is my spot. Get the F-bomb out!
No not really. It was far more friendly then that. Though it was hard not to be, grrrrrrrr. I left the note on the car windshield and went to bed.
Matty told me that he heard whoever it was that had parked there leave at 3 am.
They stayed there for 4 hours? Four hours. Seriously?
I would never do that. Who just up and takes somebodies spot? I understand if you just have to run in someplace really quickly and you're just going to be there for a minute or two. But to park there ALL freaking night? Come on.
I guess it bothered me because I do my very best to be respectful of people. I don't talk during movies, I don't take what is not mine, I don't play my music super loud, I don't cut in line, I don't leave my trash for someone else to throw away and I most certainly don't park where I shouldn't. And I would hope that others would be more like that too.
Maybe it's generational? It appears that kids today have no respect for others. There is this just lack of understanding. And even worse, an overwhelming sense of entitlement. It makes me batty.
I am totally turning into my "you crazy kids get off my lawn" father.
