...you're wondering where to find the biggest douchebag in the country today, seen today in Farmington New Mexico in front of the Safeway taking up no less than six full spaces is when there's an entire parking lot open to park away from the front of the door......
?ÿAnd no, he's not handicapped, he's handouchebagged....
???? ???? ???ý?ÿ
Cut me a little slack; I only need beer and ice; I'll be gone before you know it!
there's an entire parking lot open
Why don't YOU park there, then!?
?ÿ

Life's to short to be worrying about douche-nozzles in a Safeway parking lot...
I hope everyone has a great day, I know I will!

No.?ÿ It's the guy in line ahead of you at the convenience store buying lottery tickets.?ÿ He tells the clerk he wants so many of this particular ticket.?ÿ As the clerk hands them to him, he adds that he needs so many of this other particular ticket.?ÿ Then he scratches all of the first bunch of tickets and finds one that awards you two more tickets.?ÿ So he turns that into the clerk for two more.?ÿ Meanwhile he scratches off all of the second batch of tickets and finds another reward.?ÿ Gives that to the clerk and scratches off the first two free tickets.?ÿ Then scratches the two new tickets as the clerk is about to finish ringing him up.?ÿ That's when he says he needs so many of a third kind of ticket.?ÿ That's when you and everyone else in line knock him to the floor and kick his ass.
?ÿ
Even more annoying is that the lottery ticket buyer at 2:00 in the afternoon is 50 years old, wearing pajama pants, flip flops and a wife beater with his "old guy" bicycle setting outside.?ÿ After the lottery tickets, he decides he needs a pack of cigarettes, "No, not those, up two shelves, to your right, red, no, dark red, down one shelf, yeah, that's them.?ÿ The clerk comes back to the register and the guy says, give me another pack.?ÿ The clerk can't remember where they were.?ÿ After all of that, the guy finally pulls out his "get out of jail and eat free" card, which takes three tries before it is finally read correctly.?ÿ Oops, too much by 31 cents.?ÿ Put back the one pack of cigarettes.?ÿ Try again. Boom, he done.?ÿ Except.?ÿ Now he wants to know if they have a free air hose for his bike tire.
I've parked as far away as possible many times while pulling a loaded stock trailer.?ÿ The cattle may do some "unloading" of their own while I'm inside.?ÿ I would not want to have a surprise encounter with what they leave behind when I'm simply making my daily midafternoon run to buy lottery tickets and cigarettes in my pajama pants, flip flops and wifebeater.
Mine gets chapped when people don??t return their shopping cart to the cart return. ?ÿIf they??re that lazy they should use curbside delivery. ?ÿDuh!
I think this is a funny thread.?ÿ

We realize parking lots that hold more than four cars are foreign to you without a 100 mile commute.?ÿ Much like me and escalators.
I park as far away from "the usual bunch" as I feel like walking. Apparently people in parking lots here think it's neighborly to give your parking neighbor a nice door ding upon exit and re-entry to their transport de jour. To me nothing ruins the appearance of a vehicle more than mall tatoos on the sides. I always been a car freak so I've accepted the fact I'm weird. ?????ÿ
Parking in FL.
@flga-2-2 I'm sure in Florida it's like it is here.?ÿ I look for parking spaces not necessarily the closest to the entrance but where I may be able to get some shade.?ÿ Last week I parked in a Walmart parking lot towing a 35 foot trailer.?ÿ Of course I was barely within sight distance of the store and probably took up 12 parking spaces.?ÿ No luck on the shade though.

When I was a kid I could walk a half-mile to the grocery store, school or church.?ÿ I see you city folk have kept that tradition alive.?ÿ Meanwhile, if I must park more than 30 feet from the front door I will go find something else to do for awhile and come back when the "rush" is over.

exactly. or grab one of the twelve carts they have passed up on their way to the entrance. never understood that.

When I was a kid my Dad would circle the parking lot seemingly endlessly looking for a spot close to the door. Meanwhile, there were always many spots available a little further away. Us kids would lean over the back seat to remind Dad that our legs weren't broken. He would continue to circle. The fact that both Dad and Mom were generally smoking with the windows rolled up influenced our desire to get parked and out.?ÿ?ÿ
I remember Mom and Dad smoking inside the Hinky-Dinky; just drop the butts on the floor and step it out
?ÿ
?ÿ
Different times, for sure...

My pediatrician smoked while examining me - c.1960s

Cripes here we go again.......sigh. ?????ÿ
And it was uphill both ways. ?????ÿ
?ÿ
That was starting at our house.
?ÿ
?ÿ
Today, you can park in the SuperMegalomart parking lot and still put in that half-mile before reaching the Dairy Section.
And, FYI, it is still uphill to get there.?ÿ Then you get to act as the brakes to keep your cart from getting away from you, lest it take off on its three good wheels, jump the curb and come to a stop near the center line of the four-lane street.
