[QUOTE="jakeman, post: 2189774, member: 10690"] I threatened to whip a guy's ass at the service desk in Home Depot one time about 10 years ago for doing just that. Not one of my prouder moments, I might add. I'd waited for a while for a guy to load, fiddle with everything inside his care apparently, and then back out, when I normally don't ever wait, and I couldn't even tell you why I'd waited that day, but I had. When the guy backed out he blocked me, and another car whipped into the spot nearly hitting the front of the car that was leaving. It was pretty apparent what his intent was. I said screw it, drove on and found a spot. [B]But[/B], when I walked in, he was standing at the return desk right inside the door. I hollered "hey" at him to get his attention, which also drew a little bit of attention from others, and said, "You saw me waiting for that space didn't you?" He nodded yes. I asked him if he thought he was cute whipping in front of me like that. He audibly said, "no, not really", I asked him if he was in that big of a hurry that he thought it was alright for him to be an inconsiderate jerk, and again he said no. Then I told him it was his lucky day, because 10 years ago, I would of whipped his ass for him right there at the counter, and said if he was interested I could oblige him with one then. He apologized and turned around. It took me all of about 3 seconds to regret the entire encounter. I'm lucky I didn't get my ass kicked for the trouble, or thrown out of Home Depot and invited never to return. Some ****, just ain't worth getting worked up over, but sometimes you only gain wisdom from making mistakes. I don't need a parking place, ever, for any reason, bad enough to cut in front of someone waiting for one, or take one from someone holding one, or to get worked up if someone does those things to me. At least not anymore. [/QUOTE]
