And I Thought Soccer Moms Were Bad...
This is taken from my Livejournal (6/04).
OK, I see that I don't have as much money as I thought I did in my account.
So I go to the bank to deposit some. I'm gone maybe 10 minutes.....I come
back and some bigass van is parked in front of my house. I can't park in
front of MY house. And a jeep is partially blocking the driveway, so I have
to park in front of the driveway. So I go outside, take a pic of this sign,
print out a few copies, and put them on the cars that pissed me off:

I called an extension of the police department and asked why we hadn't
gotten resident parking passes yet....the lady had no idea there were signs
up about resident parking. She gave me a number for town hall, which I have
to wait till tomorrow to call.
One guy 2 houses down works for the county gov't and knows the mayor personally.
He said he'd talk to the mayor about it. I don't know the guy so I don't
know if he's actually going to or not.
One car parked in front of my neighbor's house....when my neighbor asked
them to move 'cuz she had nowhere to park, they shrugged and walked away.
Later, they come back to the car, crumple up the paper I put on that car
and say "Is this yours?" I told her it was mine, and she threw
it on my neighbor's car. They got into a screaming match. Some chick said
"This is America; we can park where we want." <-- Take note
of that last quote....that's the same attitude that makes most of the world
hate us. No, sweetie, you can't park wherever you want, especially when
this sign is up:

Yes, I put it twice so you slower folk might catch it the 2nd time.
As the lady who was fighting with my neighbor left, she screamed at
her "You stupid cunt!" as she passed by.
Mature.
One idiot actually parked her car in the middle of the road to go and talk to some people watching the game. Mind you, the street is already narrow with cars parked on both sides, and she parks in the MIDDLE?! I was gonna take a picture of it for proof, but she moved before I could get my camera.
In all honesty, I really could care less about this whole thing....IF there was room for the people who actually LIVE here to park. But there's not.
In conclusion, baseball sucks.
