Us old guys do it slowly with one of our blinkers on…..

Going into gym today, the cutest blond young man wanted to chat with his friend in the spot I wanted to park, I happily waited…the legs!

Nah. That’s nothing compared to waiting for your wife to get ready when you want go somewhere.

I’m glad I have a handicap tag because I’m disabled. But what I hate is people parking there cars in those spots that have no tag or disabled tag.

Or waiting for the little old lady in the checkout line at the grocery store to paw through her purse to find the exact change.

I get petty if the car waiting flashes the headlamps or toots the horn in a effort to say “Hey! I want that spot. Hurry your #$$ up!”. It’s at that point I decide I need to look something up on google before heading out.

It seems even slower when you’re stuck behind a large vehicle that is waiting to be able to drive into a space that another car to pulling out of and you are unable to see what the delay is all about.

I just like the way Gary drew the TV set! Most cartoonists don’t bother with that detail.

This happens all the time at Wal-Mart.

Waiting for something to load on the computer when you need it for someone else.

I can debate. It is the one in the four door sedan sightseeing in the passing lane that takes 16 miles to pass a Smartcar.

True, true, true.

fortunately for me, I park far away and walk, so I have all the spaces I need…and then some!

I refuse to wait for a parking space. I park as far from the store as possible. I usually end up in the store quicker than the fools who circle around looking for an up close spot, or who sit and wait for someone else to leave their spot. And when I leave, no one is sitting there waiting anxiously for me to give up my spot. But I’m lucky that I can still walk as far as needed.

Not as bad… the ones who think they have to back into the parking space.

Actually, it is someone backing into a parking space. It takes them three times longer than it takes the average person to back out. Also, backing in results in more collisions than backing out.

Any checkout line I get in.

That is the best way.

Second place winner: drivers staring into space while the left turn light goes through its entire sequence.

I love how people drive through the Walmart parking lot 15 minutes to find a space close to the door so they can go in and walk 2 hours.

Cars one, two, and three in line in your lane at the intersection after the light changes from red to green.

A Prius doing an unobstructed right turn.

TRUTH!!!
