Another Day, Another MFFY

The Metrolink station where I catch my train has a "Kiss 'n Ride"
driveway right in front. Unfortunately, the idiots who designed the
station only made the bottom of the "U" one lane wide. Of course, this
bottleneck is PRECISELY where all the MFFY assholes stop to unload,
despite at least a dozen empty parking spaces not 25 feet away. This
morning some bozo driving a Toyota 4-Runner parked in the bottleneck,
got out, and performed a Chinese Fire Drill with Mrs. MFFY, who got
into the driver's seat and waited while Mr. MFFY opened the rear
hatch, the back passenger's side door, and the back driver's side
door. Meanwhile, cars who had taken the slight extra effort to
actually PARK while their passengers got out were now stacking up
behind this asshole's SUV while they waited for him to figure out
where he left his briefcase.

How do these self-important pieces of **** become these self-important
pieces of ****?

Instead of spanking them, their parents said "Look, isn't that CUTE?" OTOH,
my money would be on their being so stupid that they don't even notice that
they're holding other people up. OTOH, the road designers didn't exhibit much
clue either.

On my bike ride today on the 2-lane + 2 parking lanes residential street I
passed a woman in an SUV stopped in the traffic lane talking to a friend
stan\0
\0 in the parking lane, while 3 cars queued up behind. I yelled YOU
IDIOTS, DON'T YOU SEE THERE'S TRAFFIC? which I thought was pretty
restrained.

Props to you, Bev, for having the BALLS to say something. I'm sure the
three pussies stuck behind this bitch were too timid to even honk
their horns.

"just let them do it"

That's how. This is a society that has become composed of "takers" and
"enablers" in many ways. We are all tought to be enablers. Some people
begin to figure out the system and become takers and expect that nobody
is going to say a peep to them.

It's evident even in this group when I tell a story of where I spoke up
and get the 'you're lucky he didn't have a gun' rutine.

Yeah, I was just thinking about that when the guy who just posted a
picture of a Dodge Dakota truck in a HC zone made sure to tell us he
"took the picture in a backpack so the construction guys didn't see me".

Here's one from several years ago.. I had parked, and picked up a
loose shopping cart in the way into a local market. There was a MFFY
parked right in front of the entrance, with row of carts to the rear,
and barely walking distance in front, between the SUV and some large
potted plants. There was no way I could get the cart past, and the
MFFY had been there at least 40 seconds now. =20

I picked up my shopping cart, and squeezed by in front of the SUV,
nearly dropping it on it's hood. The MFFY moved on soon afterward. =20
( should have walked across the hood, dragging the cart behind me :-)

That was me, and yeah, I was scared of getting my ass kicked. I'm a
6'1, 170 lb computer tech. I've beaten some ass before, but I'm not
going out of my way to do something that'll cause me to get my ass
kicked.

And yeah, I'm enough of an asshole I've had to pull out The Club at
Washington and 5th, but I try to avoid getting beaten to all ****. I
took that picture from my backpack since there was at least 6 guys
working on The Pickwick, and I was alone taking a picture of what a
prick their employer was.

I only wish I'd gotten pictures of the backup caused by the UPS truck
on Front Street today, but at least I landed a cigarette on the
driver's seat.

Sidenote: An assistant manager of the hotel is aware of the "parking
problem" and the fact I had an issue with it, and I've been guaranteed
they'll be keeping a better watch on things since.

There's an old saying:

"Discretion is the better part of valor."

Six guys one one, even if the one is a big dude, ain't that great of
odds. I've seen a big guy thrashed by a skinny dude who was tenacious
and fearless, but six on one would have meant a hospital trip or worse
for the little guy.

Guts are great, but they're no substitute for brains.

Amen, which is why I took a picture and took it up with those paying
their salary. A part of my job is sales & customer service, which
means don't **** my off by stealing a handicapped spot in front of me.
