Driver tries to jack my parking spot...

So I hit the Love's in Fort Mill, SC at 5:15pm. No parking spots, so pull in and fuel up. Finish fueling, still no spots, so I back onto the grass in the corner of the lot and head in to get a sandwich at Subway. When I come out, there's a flatbed leaving one of the spots behind the store at the entrance to the fuel islands, so I hoof it to my truck and wheel around the tire shop. As I'm coming down the hill, a truck that had just entered the lot cuts me off from the driveway in front of the tire shop and makes a beeline for the spot.

After a few minutes of discussion about how I'd been staged for about 30 minutes waiting for a spot to open, and showing him my fuel receipt with timestamp, he relented in a huff. Not that he HAD to, but it's just the principle of it all.

 

Yeah, this guy was a huge Russian - I wouldn't have pushed it much further

 

I did 34 there last weekend. The lazy ones park along the curb at the exit to the fuel island now.

So, HE cuts you off, then waddles over to YOUR truck to give you c h i t about it? I don't get it.

 

First of all, I don't consider having your computer on the steering wheel while driving down the interstate a 'mistake'. And if you consider that a simple mistake, perhaps YOU don't need to be out there on the road with us.

You twist my statement about the relevance of the card to a few parking jobs that I've seen lately to mean that I'm planning to plaster them on every truck that I see from now on.

And a driver that pulls into a full lot and SEES me leaving my spot on the grass for a 'real' parking spot and then tries to weasel into it - sorry, but that's not something I personally would do, and yes I'll call someone else out on it.

YOU are the FIRST one to complain about others' driving habits when they don't suit you, and yet you want to point the finger at me and accuse me of developing 'supertrucker' traits when i do the same?

I think you need to lose that chip you've got on your shoulder.

Forget the coffee; I'll PM you the link to my Amazon registry along with a link to the fingerless gloves I've been wanting
