Last night I was pulling into a restaurant's parking lot through one entrance, and an elderly man was pulling in through another. Our paths crossing, we both stopped. I surveyed the situation. There was one parking spot by the door, and the rest were a little distance. I decided to let him have the good spot, and I yielded to him.
I entered the restaurant and waited in line to place my order. There was no sign of him. And then he emerged from the bathroom, looked at me contemptuously, and elbowed his way in front of me.
"I was here first," he snarled, indignant that....oh, who knows.
I said nothing. Sometimes I'm just too stunned to defend myself. He'd be well advised, though, to never again put himself in a position where I need to brake.
For no reason other than my continuing contempt for humanity, here's an awesome web comment.
