My Hubby is away. He is on a “work” vacation. Yah, five minutes discussing work followed by six rounds of golf, seven marathon card games and a ridiculous amount of eating and drinking. I’m okay with it. Really.
I’m just tired and as it turns out, a tad whiny.
Want to hear something ironic? When the Hubby is here I complain that I can’t sleep because he snores so damn loud. When he’s not here, I can’t sleep because the house is too quiet. Gee, waffle much?
Anyway, this lack of sleep, this single parenting, doing all the driving, all the cooking (oh did I ever mention that the Hubs does a good deal of the cooking thus creating a super spoiled wife) and all the EVERYTHING is making me a tad short tempered.
When I pulled into the parking lot to pick my girls up after school, my head was pounding, I was cold and miffed because it was snowing again stupid groundhog knows nothing and there he was….. “the I don’t care about the rules, I am completely self involved and I will park wherever the bleep I want man”. I actually just refer to him as Pervy BMW Guy, because he’s got that going for him too. This man, he parks WHERE EVER he wants with no regard for children’s safety, rules of the road, or just plain old common courtesy.
Handicapped spot. He parks there.
Principals spot. He parks there.
Block the busses in? Yep, that’s him.
Today, when I got to the school, Pervy BMW Guy was blocking the Pick Up Only area of the parking lot. It’s pretty self explanatory. It’s PICK UP ONLY. You drive up, pick up, get out of there. Not park your slimy butt there and stare at all the Mama’s butts as they hustle out of their cars to get their children. Sigh. Rude.
I circled around the crowded school parking lot twice. My girls came skipping out of school and into the pick up only area. I pulled behind Pervy BMW Guy and promptly got good and blocked in. I counted to 10. Still blocked in. I gave him a little wave to get him to move forward. Nope, still blocked in. Then I did what every over tired, super grumpy, cold, headachy Mama in the suburbs would do…… I leaned on that horn with all my might and threw that perv the finger!
Bah! No I didn’t, but I did grind my teeth and toot my little Volvo horn.
Such a chicken rebel.
Next steps, plotting real revenge on all who cross the Mama’s by blocking the Pick Up Only. All ideas welcome, cause clearly I need help.
I know how you feel! I have dealt with a lot of people like this. Give him a taste of his own medicine and block him in! He’ll probably confront you then you can let him have it! Good luck!
Oh, that would drive me in sane! At the beginning of the year, we’d have parents drop off kids using the Buses only loop. Whenever I was on duty, I would have to remind them that is was for buses only. Because apparently some people can’t read.
I’m going to have to think on this one. Because I would love to help you exact your revenge. Rule-breakers in the school parking lot are one of my BIGGEST pet peeves!
I’m sorry for your single mom status – I too am a spoiled wife, and when the hubs is absent, I really feel it!!
