I know what you're thinking, this blog has turned into one of my long rants, but you'd be wrong! Well, kind of. It just seems like people are going out of their way to irk me. lol. You see, here's the thing, in the last week I've watched two different people, hauling ass through the parking lot and coming to a screeching halt in a handicap parking spot.
At Home Depot I was patiently waiting for Devil and a 30-ish jackass pulls in next to me, almost hitting the wheelchair post, gets out, without a limp, spends 10 minutes getting his kid out of the back seat and then walks into the store. There was absolutely nothing wrong with him! NOTHING! I was flabbergasted. He then walks back out, past the car, all the way down the aisle just to get one of those "toy car" carts for kids. He obviously was in no hurry (which still doesn't excuse it) nor was he handicapped in any way.
Last night we were at H-E-B (not pronounced as the word Heb, it's H-E-B) when a middle aged soccer mom, driving a huge ass suburban, pulls into a handicap spot and then sprints past me and Devil...SPRINTED past us. Then runs to get a cart, rushing past us again to beat us inside the fucking store. That's not fucking handicapped! It pisses me off that people like that abuse the system. It amazes me that they're not embarrassed! I felt like tripping her and giving her a handicap. I had a handicap tag for a couple of years for Dad and I never used it. NEVER! Usually when he was with me, I'd drop him off at the door and then park it, in a NON-handicap spot, or he'd stay in the car. We had it in case we needed it but we always left the designated parking for those handicappers who were alone and didn't have someone to drop them at the door. So, I'm baffled at people, my age, and obviously without a handicap, who feel that they can park there because they're in a hurry or are to fucking lazy to walk an extra 10 feet to the door.
There's my rant...I'll try to hold off on my next hostile rant so I don't wear you guys out...and believe me, I have more. lol.
