You know those guys with the big trucks...those guys who are obviously compensating for something...those guys who just don't freaking get it???
Well, one of them parked next to me this morning.
When I say "next to me," I should really say "practically on top of me."
And I was annoyed.
You're in a parking lot with lots of empty spaces and you have to squeeze your fucking huge ass truck into the space right next to MY driver's side door???
DUDE!!! I have twins and I LEGALLY have to strap them both in. My doors open like a normal car b/c I haven't caved yet and bought a fancy minivan and yes, I need to open the door to strap them in...DUH!!!
Oh, and guess what??? Pulling your mirrors in does NOT miraculously make your truck smaller, you douchebag!
Neither does saying, "Well, I'm in the spot...on either side," you fucking asshat.
So, when you answer with "you want me to move my truck?" in response to my exasperated "ummm...this is a little RIDICULOUS!!!" - the answer is "no."
What I want is a little common courtesy.
What I want is for you to think a little before you tuck those mirrors in...like, "hey, maybe if I feel the need to pull my mirrors in, I'm a tad too close to this other car."
What I want is for you to demonstrate to your son that thinking of others is not a lost art.
What I want is for you to get a regular sized fucking truck!!! Oh, and if you don't because your job is that of a contractor, a construction worker, or hauling dinosaur bones across the county, that's fine, but what I want is for you to park somewhere else in the FIRST PLACE!!! Not for you to ask me after the fact.
What I want is for you to haul your ass 20 more feet to where there's enough space for your behemoth of a truck. Seriously, dude!!!
I felt good that I said something though. At least he offered to move the truck...that was halfway decent, but REALLY!!! THINK!!!
It probably won't make a difference in his future parking decisions, but whatever...I got my frustration out.
I'm pretty sure Husband was surprised by my reaction though. He typically would have gone OFF when we got in the car, but he was more subdued than usual.
So, Mr. Double Duty...I'm glad that your ginormous truck is making you feel better about the possibility of other lacking attributes (what? I'm talking about intelligence, of course...not manhood), but it's really inconveniencing the real of us...the normal people.*
*Yes, I get there's nothing "normal" about this post, but I just had to get it out!!!
Has anyone pissed you off this weekend (including those shitbrains who think April Fool's Day is still funny)?

We used to live in an apt. complex that this asshole had a HUGE FREAKING TRUCK that he parked in his assigned parking right next to me.
Used to piss me off SO bad.
What's worse was he made his wife park their normal sized car in guest parking and PACK HIS 3 SNOTNOSED kids all the way from timbuktu to their apt. He was a jerk.
Aren't you glad you have this outlet to say how you really feel! :) I bet you felt a ton of bricks left off your shoulders! Venting is the best!!! No, I didn't have to deal with any overbearing, overcompensating jerks this weekend! Thank goodness!
btw- kudos to DH for not making it worst by saying something after the fact!!!
ha! I love it! I'm so grateful for my mini van's sliding doors - sure makes getting the kids in and out MUCH easier!
There was an article recently about someone who'd parked illegally in a handicap spot and a guy in a wheelchair was (rightfully) pissed and blocked the dude in and called the cops. Well when the illegally parked guy came out, he complained to the fitness club and the guy in the wheelchair was treated like he did the wrong thing and lost his membership at the club. WTF? Made me MAD!

April is Autism Awareness Month. I'm dedicating my blog to Autism all month long.

when i was in DC last year someone put a note on my car about how i parked so close to them that they couldn't get their C-cup boobs out of the car without a struggle. really? i had twins in infant bucket seats and was able to get them in and out!
i've been known to take pictures of the assholes that park next to me like that!
Now tell us how you really feel! No i like how you tell it how it is! Thats so great, and yes I hate those people that park me in- can you not see that I have 3 carseats and might need to open the doors to get the kids in there!
My hubby once wrote a note and left it on some guy's windshield. It read: "Nice parking, Asshole!"
We still laugh about that! :)
My complaint: The gear heads
Across the street live the gear heads, with the crazy garage and loud cars. Cars so loud that as they pass my car they set the alarm off-every time. Did I mention they're twenty-something boys who come to Daddy's house to play with his tools at all hours of the night. I am always waking up to *HONK HONK HONK*
I really hate the penis extensions, but I love when they step on the gas and I think of all the gas their burning up! HA BITCH! Every time you try to haul ass in that truck you're costing yourself an hour of overtime!
It's people like this that make me wish I wore lipstick, or at least carried it in my purse so I could write them a note on their windshield. Try cleaning that off jerk!
Ugh. Nothing makes me feel chubbier.
You are a hoot, Rebecca!
You should have "accidentally" hit it with your door.
Oh, and then blamed it on one of the kids.
Sometimes I park away from people because of having the kiddos (even with my fancy van - which is totally not fancy). Haha!
My husband thinks I have diarrhea of the mouth when idiots are out in public.
the day i read this i had nothing to say but since then... i was driving home from work and big ol' pickup truck tried to cut me off but he didn't make it because i'm better. he was pissed off that he was behind me and tried to take a shortcut to be able to get in front of me at another point. well ha ha...i beat him and i didn't even have to drive like an a-hole to do it. i just laughed at him and waved!
