Space Quest 4

What a fine thing to find the parking lot full to the edge slots and beyond! That means that 1) schools are closed as a snow day so all the Junior High kids are at the mall and 2) people are getting out of the stock market and into flat screen electronics and 3) gas prices are so low the SUV bumpers are lined up like hefty drill team members. Plus now I get the added thrill of trailing a person with arms full of bags to her car and waiting…waiting…waiting with my blinker on, inching just close enough that she can back out but clearly marking my territory. With a surly scowl, I dare any other car to cut in and take the place…which turns out to be a moot point because she is actually going back for more shopping. Or a cinnamon bun. My cinnamon bun.

Peolple rarely career out of parking spaces, do they? Or is it just a POV thing?
