One schmuck even kicked my car's door,leaving a bad scuff. Some people just do not have any consideration for others property. I also had an idiot park too close to my car *while I was sitting in it*,and bang their door against mine in getting out,even though they could have parked closer to the restaurant and there was two vacant spaces next to my car,and they chose the close one,and crowded me in the process. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |
