This is a brief rant, 'cause someone pissed me off this morning, and i need to share.
I got to campus this morning, driving the MPV, listening to Mike Doughty on the MP3 player. I pulled in to a spot in the parking garage that had an empty spot to the right. Since I was enjoying the song I was listening to, I turned off the van and sat for a minute until it was over. As I was just about to get out and head for class, this 12-year-old moron pulls crookedly into the spot next to me in a pearl white $70,000+ Lexus LX SUV, stops 4-6 inches from my passenger door and shuts it down, clearly planning to get out regardless of the inevitable damage to both of our doors. (no)
Rather than wait for the door ding, I re-started the van, backed out of my spot, and parked across the isle from this first-time-driver in mommy's uber-SUV. Now, clearly, this kid wasn't actually 12, and it probably wasn't his first time driving ever, but I just don't understand why people put their (even college-aged) kids in $70-80,000 Luxury vehicles? (smash)
I was going to also ask why these kids don't make any effort to take care of their stuff, but the obvious answer to that is that they've been given everything, and have had to earn none of it, so it's worthless to them, but the whole thing kind of pissed me off. Even though my van isn't exactly pristine, and he'd have been the $$ loser in a paint-swap, I was not willing to let him smack my van. I'm pretty sure he was completely oblivious to the fact that I moved because of his crappy parking, too.(smash)
Anyway, now I feel like an old man standing on the porch yelling at the kids to stay off of my lawn, but at least I got that bitching off of my chest. Stupid kids!
The greatest thing about this story is that the song I was sitting in the van listening to was Mike Doughty's White Lexus! Sure the song has nothing to do with bad parking, but it was still a crazy coincidence!(rofl)
