Re: Hate Thread
I hate morons. Said it before, I'll say it again.
So I have to take my uncle to the airport to catch his flight at 8:30 in the freaking morning, which I can live with. What pisses me off is I'm heading out and because some guy wants a closer parking space, he puts his SUV into reverse and before I have a chance to back up (I've stopped because, y'know, his brake lights are on) he starts accelerating backwards. Since *I* can't get in reverse fast enough, I lean on the horn and he *still* backs into me! Then he pulls into the spot. "Oh geeze. I'm sorry. I didn't see you!"
Me, before 3pm, and running on less than 4 hours of sleep: "What, ya didn't hear the horn?"
I mean, the fricking ticket lady for the parking lot that was about 20 yards away heard me! I can understand being zoned out and stressed about having to catch your flight, but for crying out loud! So, now my mother's car has a cruched up front hood and I've got the phone number of a guy in New York who's off on a business trip or something.
I suppose I ought to be thankful neither of us was hurt and that there really wasn't a huge amount of damage to the car, but still. Criminey! Oh, and to top it off, because I had to dick around with that, I wound up having to pay for parking at the airport. Blah!
