They don't think you can drive as carefully as they do either. Others may park that way simply for attention. If they are way out at the back of the parking lot where lots of empty spaces exist, I have no objection. If they were out that far, they would not have to park sideways to protect their vehicle.

Of course, if it is at the 99-cent store, they are rich because they are cheap! Oh sorry mcf-l, I mean frugal. jg -- @home.com is bogus.

Oh sorry mcf-l, I mean frugal. That seems like a possibility, but I would have to question why anybody with enough brains to be frugal/cheap would be dumb enough to invest serious money in such a car and then park it in a bad neighborhood (yeah, this store IS in a relatively bad neighborhood) where somebody might key it or pee on it or steal it. Suppose somebody who knows the owner stole it and then parked it there to get even with him? People who look down on the 99-Cents-Only Store are hopeless posers! -- Cheers, Bev Far away in a strange land |
