I was pulling up to the supermarket and there were lots of empty spaces all around. I was a few inches over a yellow dividing line and I heard someone curseing my parking. I asked what the problem was and heard the complaint. so I got in my Ford Pickup and pulled around the lot and parked beside the guy. He was headed to the store by then and he turned around and tipped his had and curtseed with a smart aleckey grin at me. I was not going to let him get away with this. So I got my cart and followed him around the store. I got no closer than 15 feet from him but made sure he knew I was there. In a short time he was trying his best not to look at me. I had him S--ting his pants. That was good enough for me and I went about my buisness. Even a Silver haired ol man can get sweet revenge.

I woulda put some stuff in his cart like some baby food, pampers, tampons, or some wine (whine). I love it when folks without old man strength try to get funny with me. A young fellow once was cursing me up and down on the road, middle finger and everything. We came up to a stop light, I got out and jumped in his car with him. He was sh%tting in his pants, I know, he coulda had a gun. Its OK, I know I only live once. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

I wouldn't make a habit of doing that, if I were you. There are a lot of fruit loops out there.

I sure hope that you intended this as a joke for the readers here to enjoy, otherwise you did do a very mean thing. I often think about what motivates people. Let us look at this, you parked over the line and someone said something stupid. Your choice, correct your parking effort, ignore the remarks, or become highly offended and do something rash. You selected to become angry. He "turned around and tipped his (I am assuming) hat. Where I come from, tipping one's hat is friendly. Then you followed this person around "and made sure he knew." That is aggressive behavior. So, you intimidated another person and you feel good about it. I fail to see what you accomplished. Revenge? For what, you reparking your truck? You were over the yellow line.
People do the strangest things.

For me if I can't find something pleasant to say I just try to stay away from contact with others.

I just try to not get too upset about things. It is just a waste of time for the most part.

I small action can make something better or make make it worse.

To make some thing better is always the better choice.

I would say that getting revenge is not a sweet thing to seek.

I park so far out it takes longer to walk in and back out than it does to get what I came for. 8-)

I agree. In this situation, I would have recognized that I had overparked the line, then thought about the person that was parked near me or the next person that may need to park near me, and I would have backed out and reparked and gone about my business. But, that is just the way I am. I do not believe in revenge, and I do not often become angry. I realize that when a person becomes upset with me, I have to examine myself to see if they are justified. If they are not justified, then I must consider that they may be just having a bad day, or that is their nature. Either way, I do not have to participate or acerbate the issue. I can take the high ground.

Excellent solution. I park far out too, one reason I like my automobile and do not want it pitted with doors being accidently opened into it. And, I love to walk. Of course being retired, I have the extra time. I figure those that are handicap, are in a big hurry, or parents with small children need to be closer to the store. And I can always use the extra exercise.

I agree with your assessment, Ginnyt, although I know how FOM felt...been there, done that. On that note, you must do something about that darker orange kitten's aggressive behavior in your avatar. :mrgreen:

I do understand how kittens do the strangest things. :lol:
