Dear Shadey McParkerson:
I guess this week's theme is "Strangers Who Piss Me Off."
Upon returning to work from the Post Office, since my parking spot close to the building had been taken, I decided to park at the far back of the lot, in one of the few coveted Shade Spots. There's not much mature foliage around this building, so shade is hard to come by and vied over, in the summer months especially.
I got a spot on the edge of the shade, but since I'm not Sacajaweeuh or Pokahontus (I'm not as fluent in Apache as I used to be), I didn't know if I was going to be in more shade or full-on sun when I came back out at quittin' time.
I would have gotten a spot more in the middle of the shadey area, except for the fucknut whose car was straddling two spaces. Because, you know, he doesn't want anyone opening their car door into his 1997 Honda.
Well, I was in Full Burn Mode after the Post Office, so I got my pen and little pad of paper out of my purse, and I wrote him a note:
You park like an ASSHOLE!
Then I stuck it facedown under his driver's side windshield wiper.
Hee! It still makes me giggle!
I know it doesn't accomplish anything. I know Honda Boy is going to keep on being an asshole. But lemme tell ya -- I made the trek back to the office with a smile on my face and a song in my heart, and that doesn't happen very often.

You're funny.

Hey, got your note the other day. Thanks so much for your constructive criticism. I wasn't sure if I was doing it right, but now it's very clear that I was in error.
By the way....you park superbly.
Yours truly,
The Asshole
