pet peeve time!

[seventhe]

You know what's annoying*? When people follow me around the parking lot after class so that they can take my parking spot. Mainly because I am a Class A Robotard and very often forget where I've parked, so I've got a Honda Element** shadowing me at 0.2mph like some bright red, retarded-looking ninja while I forlornly wander the lot trying not to yell "Goldbug" at the top of my lungs and thus get mugged by people who target Akron loonies.

I once actually had a girl roll her window down and ask where I was parked so that she could go claim it. She must have completely missed the confused look on my face and constant stream of profanity as I mashed the lock button on my keychain in hopes of hearing a feeble "beep" to point my way. Look, I know parking is bad, but for crying out loud do the lane-by-lane-drive like everyone else. Stalking me? Very much not appreciated; double-plus-un-appreciated by people who are prone to tripping over their own two feet and would rather no one saw.

Sometimes I actually debate finding my car, opening it up, pulling something out, and turning around and heading back to campus, just to piss them off. But usually by the time I get to my car I am so damn cold and ready to get in the car and drive away to Florida back to work that I just kind of throw the bright red ninjamobile a stern look and then drive away.

Stupid Akron. I want my tuition money to build a goddam parking garage***.

*I am sure someone on my F-List is going to respond "THAT IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE PARKING LOT BEHAVIOR; HOW ELSE ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO GET A SPOT, YOU ROBOTARD!" to which all I have to say is don't call me a robotard. It's a pet peeve. Sorry.

**one of the ugliest cars in existence!

***and a pony.

My birthday is one of the biggest shopping days of the whole year, so in high school one year when my best friend took me out for a birthday lunch, we actually played "ditch the car".

With 3 of us, we all started walking in the same direction with a single car following us, then on a designated count we all split up. At that point, we each acquired another car following us, then I did something like walk up to a random car, try the handle and pretend that I didn't have the keys.

Now, I didn't have keys or a car in high school, but they didn't know this. We kept this up for at least 30 minutes before it got too cold and we wanted to go home. At the time it was hilarious. In retrospect, we were probably being annoying bratty kids.

Either way, I still laugh.

Also, you're not a robotard and it's okay to misplace your car. Frankly, I bumper stickered the hell out of mine to make sure that I would find it.

Oh, I'm definitely laughing at that. Bratty kids? maybe; but parking-spot-stalkers also deserve it on some level. XD

So I totally just ranted about basically the same damn thing to someone no less than three hours ago. XD I feel your pain, Sev.

And much love goes out to those who rant in Newspeak.
