People irratate the shit out of me sometimes. Especially during the holiday season in parking lots.
Listen - it's easy. It's logical. If you are pulling off of the main road - YOU HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY!! If you do not have a stop sign - YOU HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. Do NOT stop just because and then look at me like I'm the idiot. Do NOT flip me off because I am stopped at MY stop sign and you have nothing - no light, no yield, and certainly no stop.
When I was road warrioring it and spent so much time in malls of every shape and size this was one of my pet peeves. I learned how to go around the back way just to avoid that kind of mess. Now - I'm in a new territory and, to be honest, don't do much shopping at all. So when I do - it's like nails on a chalk board for me. One of the few things that incites road rage. Or would that be parking lot rage? Oh, whatever, you know what I mean.
I appreciate that people are being cautious. That's all well and good. But if folks would just pay attention and follow the flow it would all be good.

Posted by Tammi at December 22, 2005 06:19 AMWe're in an area where many of the shoppers are from the country to our south and they have a tendency to not be concerned with dinging and denting the car parked next to them. We usually park as far from the store as possible and walk.
