You Never Know When An Idiot Will Strike - Episode 5

Last night my wife and I took my son to the fair. It was a typical day at the fair and the rides were only one ticket because it was family night. Like any family night it was quite busy. No big deal for us, we had a lot of fun and we won a few prizes. But, lets talk about parking. The parking at this particular set of grounds is set up so that you can park on the two outside edges or park face to face in the center of the area. The parking area on this side of the grounds spans for quite the distance and sometimes you will have to drive all the way to the end and back just to go into the next row to find a space and it sometimes takes a little time.

But, What if you don't want to drive all the way down? Just park behind someone who is already facing another car in the center parking, right? WRONG. We are chatting with some friends and notice a guy in an SUV trying to get out of a space where there is someone in front of him and behind him end-to-end. I ran over to help him get out without hitting another car and luckily he was able to barely squeeze between a couple cars. What would seriously drive someone to completely block someone in like this? Did they just not see the car on the other end? Did they just assume that they were going to be leaving before them? Who knows. On the way out of the parking lot we noticed that about 10 other people had also blocked in cars the same way. Are these people all from the same gene pool? I know we were in Tremonton but holy crap, I didn't know that many people had complete disregard for other people.

I guess idiots are everywhere, We all better watch out.

P.S. If it were me, I would have either backed into that car repeatedly or else keyed the living crap out of it. And then left a note saying: "YOU KNOW WHY".
