That's right Lady...Keep Walking!

Sometimes, I have absolutely no no no no patience for people. This week has been very trying for many reasons (Yes, I am aware it is only Tuesday) but today was particularly annoying. At the end of the day, I stand at the back of the school and help dismiss Kindergarten. Earlier this year, we had a problem with parents parking in the fire lane. After being very agressive about this problem, we rarely have issue anymore. Except for TODAY! As a lady got out of her PT Cruiser (a whole other issue) she left her car running in the fire lane. As she collected her baggage (I mean child) I told her she couldn't park in the fire lane. She looks at me and in a huff says "Well, it's still running so it's not parked." I looked at her and said "It doesn't matter, you still can't leave it in the fire lane." So she repeated (I guess in case I didn't hear her) "It's still running so it's not parked." So, I just stopped her in her tracks and said "Well, oddly enough, fire trucks are still running when the firemen get here to fight a fire they won't be able to get to because you're in their spot." Needless to say, she didn't say a word, grabbed (I mean really she yanked her around like a suitcase) her child and stormed away. The best part? She was SO pissed at me that she kept walking IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF HER CAR! So, she had to do the walk of shame all the way back to her car.
