The Saturday before Christmas, my wife and I drove to a big box store for last-minute shopping. Not surprisingly, there was no wide parking space open at the store. We have a modified van with a side ramp, disabled plates, signs on the ramp door and no front seats.
We parked on the perimeter angled in two spaces to avoid someone parking next to the ramp. On return to the van, we found not one but two letters on the windshield, one F-bomb relating my romantic skills to the parking space, and the other about how selfish we were. The writers apparently were so focused on themselves and their “walking” needs they did not see the obvious reasons for how we parked. We forgive them for their selfish statements, and hope other people will take pause and think first in these situations.
