cockroaches

the figurative kind... some days it would be so nice to grab the cockroach and step on its neck until its squished and dead as a doornail... alas the world frowns upon such a thing... but one can dream...

on another topic, some ass made a comment about my parking a few days ago... he was trying to fit his abnormally long SUV into a spot behind my car that was about 4 feet too short, thus he commented on my parking abilities... the odd thing was, that of all the times I have parked badly, fully knowing my parking was bad and I didn't give a shit, this guy complained on a day when my car was so perfectly parked I could have taken a picture and used it in a "Guide to Good Parking" manual... my car was inches away from the curb (equidistant from the curb at both ends, I might add!) and lined up perfectly with the meter... I looked at my car, looked at him, gave him my most "I think you're out of your mind dude" look and got in the car and went on my merry way...

the sad thing is that I should have said something to him, because after I thought about it, he probably thinks he was in the right and that I parked incorrectly, but the truth of the matter is, the car ahead of me was parked wrong, it was about 2 feet ahead of its meter, leaving a huge gap in front of my car, making it look like I hadn't parked correctly...

the moral of the story is, even though I'm not a confrontational person, I should have made a point correct his impression, because next time, he'll still be thinking he's right and he'll smartmouth the wrong person and end up with a knife in his chest or something...

of course, as a person that has faith in karma, perhaps he'll just be getting what he deserves...
