She Seems Really Cross (Walk)
In my store’s parking lot, there’s a crosswalk. It’s not part of the road; it’s specifically a place to cross part of the lot. It’s clearly marked to prevent customers from parking there. However, one day as I’m walking into work with a friend, I notice a car parked in said crosswalk. Its windows are tinted and the car isn’t running, so I can’t tell if there are people inside or not. We need to walk there, so I just walk around, give the car a strange look, and say to my friend:
Me: “That’s an odd place to park.”
We walk a couple of feet when a lady gets out of the car and yells at us.
Lady: “HEY, DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM?”
Me: “Yeah, that’s a crosswalk. You can’t park there.”
Lady: “MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND WALK AROUND!”
After this, I just walked into the store, and she was gone the next time I looked. I would’ve gone on arguing, but hey, I was in front of my job with my uniform on. Plus, if someone’s going to park in the crosswalk intentionally, they probably don’t take kindly to common sense.
