Idiot boy had gone home in a taxi. He got it.


XXX.
Maybe I am more car dumb that I thought, but what is a 5 series Mercedes? Usually I see that term reserved for BMW.

It's pure selfish entitlement. I live in Texas where the golden rule is 'I'm more important than everyone else, and if you want to test me out, I have a fully loaded weapon ready to show you'. You just don't fight with selfish idiots here because you are likely to get shot, and the courts will likely back them up.

Gee, thanks. People like you really make me itch to key your car as I help my mother shuffle past your car with her walker from where we had to park 100 ft. away because of your callous rudeness.

You're right -- people SHOULD learn to respect handicap spots so that disabled people can use them. If you're driving a car that's worth more than your house, you're misguided. Talk about a depreciating asset!

And the Mercedes, too, for illegal parking. :-) If you're THAT worried about someone dinging your car, you should be willing to walk just a little bit further and park your car away from the crowd near the store entrance. But you aren't, are you? You just like showing off your car.

So I sat there and waited for someone to come out so I could park and one of the first people to come out was a double parker. I rolled down my window and asked him why take two spaces. He just shrugged his shoulders and took off.

What have you encountered that makes you angry?
Be careful of confronting people like that. You never know nowadays, people are half nuts, you don't know if they're carrying a gun, knife, etc. Its better to just suck it up

Double standards have remained constant. Boss:s above employees.
Police above citizens. Guns above life. Sounds like the unjust rules keep being tolerated..Or as so often said in a most disrespectful tone .."suck it up".
I tend to think this system is set to suppress...Not enrich a person.

I hope you are kidding. If you aren't, I hope all your doors get dinged.

Yes, especially those who grew up with lots of money and never had to do anything they didn't want to. They get a tremendous ego and treat people badly. They very often go to tanning salons and come out looking orange too, and with tiny hands, and very strange hair combed oddly to cover up a bald spot. And also don't wear a wedding ring either, although their so-called model wife does.

I don't know, OP, but that kind of stuff drives me nuts!

A few things that come to mind:

people who drive past the whole car pool line at school, and stop in a handicapped spot to drop their kid off

people who park in non-parking spots in the school parking lot

people who litter especially cig butts out the car window

Once I was in line to check in at the gym, and something was wrong with the card scanner. The line was full of people all going to the same class. One lady walked past all of us, threw her card on the counter, and walked on into class.
