Default Some People....

I thought I would share this. I don't normally laugh at other peoples misfortunes, but I did this time.

I went to Sears today in my truck to pickup a new power washer. I noticed going in the store this bonehead was parked across a couple of parking spots in the delivery area. He had a pickup and was helping a lady load a package on top of an SUV. Both were kind of beaters. He was blocking the only open space.

After I purchased the power washer he was still there. I asked them if they were going to be long as I need to pick something up. I asked them if the truck really needed to be there. One of the ladies said they were just leaving and he made a smart A$$ comment about it did need to be there. I just ignored him and said thanks as I was walking away. He did not look happy. He started to say something more, but I just said thanks again and kept walking.

It looked as if he was draging his feet getting out of there as I pulled up, but he did move. As he was backing up, he back into a pole. I laughed my A$$ off at the justice in that. Needless to say, he was even less happy then.

Some people don't know how to deal with heat, so they become a jerk. I think there only brain cell starts to shut down. KARMA strikes again. lol

It seems that many pickup truck drivers are unable to fit their trucks into 1 parking spot.

Many parking spaces are too small to accomodate full-size pickup trucks

My wife drives a F-350, crew cab, long bed dually. She usually takes up 4 spaces

He was not even bright enough to actually park in a spot. He had a 97 F150 short bed which will fit in a single spot if he chose not to be a jerk.
