This morning I went into Starbucks to get a coffee on my trip to work. The Little Man had a rough night, which means we all had a rough night, and I needed the coffee now instead of after I got to work.
Now, the new Starbucks has a weird layout thing about it, where due to the storefront on the strip mall, you have to park around back behind the store, get out, and walk around the whole store to enter from the front. It's not exactly the way I would have laid things out, but that's just the way it is.
This morning however, as I turn the corner to go around behind the store, I almost plow into a lady's car who decided she didn't need to pull the extra 50+ feet into the parking lot and park, but instead just parked her car right there in the road. I just don't get people. Why does she believe its perfectly okay for her to park there, instead of in the same lot as everyone else. Just about five of us all pulled in at roughly the same time, she's the only one who decided to park on the "street" instead of in the lot. Why is she special? I didn't see handicap tags or plates. Nothing visibly wrong (though I am very well aware that one should not judge on that alone, after having dated someone with MS in the past. Not every condition is visible to the naked eye.) It wasn't particularly cold this morning. I didn't even need my hat or gloves, and I'm wearing a short sleeved shirt. (Under the jacket of course.) It just appeared to me that she wanted, A) to cut the line, and B) to not have to walk as far as the lot.
Well, the justice part of this story is where though she was the first of us five to order, and I the last, whatever she ordered took so long, that the other four of us got our drinks and snacks, paid, put in sugar and cream, and left the store, got into our cars, and drove away, and she was still standing there waiting for her drink.
Ha!
Take that.
Okay, maybe its not justice, or karma, or anything. Maybe its petty that I think to myself she deserved to be delayed since she was so self important as to feel she was so special that she could park on the street and block traffic, instead of parking in the lot like everyone else. Maybe, I'm just picking on someone who is doing their own thing, setting themselves out from the crowd, and doesn't want to meekly be a sheep.
But I still say: Ha! Take that. Your nefarious plan failed.
