Parking lot rage is all the rage
By Randy | February 23, 2009
Whether you are trying to park your car at an airport or at the local grocery store, it seems that parking lot rage is, ahem, all the rage now.
I took a seldom but necessary trip to my local Walmart yesterday afternoon. I was cruising through the parking lot, at a slow clip and in no general hurry to park. A car parked up and to the right was backing out. There was another car heading toward me in opposite direction ready to take the other car’s place. I knew they were there first, but I was already moving and I intended to just pass by it in search of another space.
Meantime, the other car waiting to get its place rushed ahead of me within just a couple of feet of knocking off my bumper in an effort to beat me to it. Oh man, that was irritating. I parked my car, walked by the newly parked couple getting out of their car and shouted, “hey, I wasn’t going to rush you for the space.” The husband who was a passenger in the car his wife was driving just gave me a kind of sheepish look.
Chill people, chill.
