My efforts to keep a positive attitude living while living in the negative zone known as Saline Co. took a major step backwards this morning.

I go out to my car to leave for work and notice that a note is under my windshield wiper. Some jerkward wrote this lovely note:

"Learn to Park!!"

I was shocked and royally pissed. I looked at my car and it was parked within the lines. WTF was this person complaining? From a logical perspective, it is quite retarded to leave a note like this. If someone has a beef with me, how can I rectify my behavior if I don't know exactly why this person thinks I can't park? I could understand if my car was over the line and preventing someone from opening their door, but within the lines??

The incident speaks volumes of the insane level of rude and just downright angry people I encounter in this area. People here get bent out of shape over nothing. Shopping in Walmart is a nightmare. I get honked for being a safe driver because people are so impatient here. Bryant is definitely not the small town paradise CNN is promoting it to be!

That was incredibly rude not to tell you why you were reprimanded. That's why I carry pre-printed forms like this.

Stupid filter on the site. Click the link and replace the asterisks with a 7 letter word ending in 'hole'.

YES!!! TxDave is back!

I was worried he had been raptured back to Texas.

My favorite town in Texas, btw, is Fink. There's nothing there except for a boarded-up, run-down motel called 'Fink TX Motel'. How creative a name is that?

Anyway, TxDave, sorry to hear about the unjust note. I drop notes on people all the time, but I always make sure I'm in the right before doing so. Just last week, I had to drop a note on the cashier at McDonald's -- 'Your coffee sucks'. I hope that does the trick.

I said hello to someone today, they didn't say anything back. Wow everyone in Colorado is so rude! I hold the entire populous of the state responsible for that ONE persons act. In fact, I hold everyone on Earth responsible. Stupid planet.

Thanks so much for your negatives again, obviously because you haven't been here for awhile you haven't found too much to ***** avout. Welcome back.

Nita. If I remember correctly, the Moderator locked txdave's Thread last time because it got so "out of control".

Texas Dave has unique insights which should be commended. He is not "out of control".

Cmon Nita, you don't think this incident is amazingly arrogant and rude? Now I can't even feel comfortable parking in my own freaking parking lot, and I don't bother people. Why are they mean to me here?

I was actually warming up a bit here. The lady at the insurance office was super nice, but then more honking and the note brought back the negative zone.
