I was tempted today...
I went for my quarterly visit to the nearby laundromat to wash big things that do not like a top loading washer. When I arrived, I noticed a car parked in the handicap spot that was running with no handicap tag. I go in, do my biz and go outside again to get away from the loud TV inside. The car is still running.
Now that I have to take mom around sometimes, it REALLY pisses me off seeing healthy people using handicap parking. There are LOTS of unused spaces that could be used. There is also a loading zone...
I see kids coming and going from the car - there's a TV running in it. I see the mom occasionally get out and go back in again. The car has been running all this time - 10 minutes.
I mention it to the guy that manages the biz and he rolls his eyes. 'Yeah, she does that all the time - I'm thinking about banning her.' The worst thing, he says, is that she comes in to wash ONE thing. I look at him quizzically, 'yes', he says, ' she brought in a bedspread.'
She finishes her biz and leaves. The car had been running for well over an hour. The manager has had enough - he banned her. When she leaves, she throws the little cart into the parking area in protest.
Whatta jerk. No, I didn't approach her and say so to her face, but I was tempted.
