Default Parking Lot Rage

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!

I love to watch when two folks argue over who deserves the handicapped parking spot.

I often see a lack of maturity on TOTV too!
