A Return to the Smaller Things

Why do people park at an angle? Earlier this evening I was at the store, and when I came out, a giant SUV was parked at an angle next to me. Given that I drive a tiny car, it was not impossible to get out of the spot, but not easy either. Luckily, the woman who owned the giant SUV came out and I had the opportunity to give her my scary teacher look. She apologized, but I said nothing, given that I wasn't willing to forgive her.

My favorite part, of course, is the withholding of forgiveness. Why should someone be forgiven for failing to conform to the norms of civilized society? It is perfectly obvious that when you park at an angle, you are making things difficult for the drivers around you. Everyone knows this. It really should be ok to hold at least small grudge over such a blatant lack of courtesy!

*As a reminder, once again, I really do encourage these submissions. Sharing is fun! Vent out your anger! In these shaky economic times, even the small things can be even more annoying than usual. Bring it on, people.
