Parking Lot Rage

[buggyone]

Early yesterday (Wednesday) evening about 4:45, my wife and I went to Bonefish for some bang bang shrimp tacos and a couple of drinks.

As I drove in the lot to park, there was a scene that looked as though there had been a front end collision between a moving car and a parked car. Wrong! The parked car had actually quickly backed into the prime spot just as the second car was dropping off his wife and was going to zip into that spot. He put the nose of his car right up to the bumper of the parked car and was screaming like a banshee it was his spot. The man in the parked car calmly went into Bonefish. The other man was still seething and was telling anyone who would listen what he thought of that person. Amazing that an adult can act so childish, isn't it?

Even though, the parking spot was right at the front door of the restaurant, there were plenty of spaces a few yards away.

Well, the bang bang shrimp tacos and drinks were excellent as always and is a great bargain.

Wonder how he enjoyed his meal with all the stress?
I really try to lead a stress free life and sure don't worry about the small stuff like a parking space.
Mmmmm bang bang shrimp!

Irritable (http://www.bodylogicmd.com/for-men/irritable-men-syndrome) male syndrome.

"It’s called 'Grumpy Old Man Syndrome' because the symptoms include irritability, anger, loss of confidence, loss of vitality, depression, reduced mental effectiveness, and hot sweats in 30 per cent of those affected. It occurs in 20 per cent of men over 45 or 40 per cent of men over 70 years."

Wish she had taught "others" that :) "An armed society is a polite society".

[chuckinca]

Does that apply to the middle east?

"An armed society is a polite society".

I realize your comment is supposed to be funny.

However, remember the fairly recent killing of the young father who was texting the baby sitter during a movie preview. This shooting took place in Wesley Chapel which is only about 50 miles from The Villages. The killer is a retired police captain who carried his pistol into the theater. He is claiming he was afraid for his life after having some popcorn tossed at him by the young father.

There have been a couple of incidents in The Villages involving showing concealed pistols in an intimidating manner in parking lots in which to police were called.

Reminder... The topic was a road rage incident at a local parking lot.

Please stay on topic.

[marlinguy]

I think a serious ass-kickin' of the offender would lend itself toward an attitude adjustment. Sorry I wasn't there, coulda been fun,,,and worthy of endless comment on TOTV...lol
