Attention: TDR Forum Junkies I had to pick up some metal studs and drywall on a rainy morning,so as you can guess,the sheltered loading dock was pretty full. You know the one marked ''Contractors Entrance''. Guys were loading pickups out of both ends of the shelter after they got the carts outside,and there was a tight fit beside a full size Dodge half ton--if it were not for a Honda parked beside him with no one around. I asked the HD empoloyee if anyone was getting a load in that Honda anytime soon ,and he stated that the driver probably just parked it there to keep out of the rain.
I put the Mighty Cummins in front of the Honda,and the loaded cart beside it. He still had room to get out if he backed around a few obstacles.
Just then I saw the guy come out opf the store. He got in the car and immediately starterd waving his hands at me to move. He then got out of the car and told me he had an ''appointment'' and I must move my truck NOW. I told him that after waiting five minutes to get loaded because of his parking here,he could afford the few minutes it would take me to finish my loading. The dude went ballistic and said it was my fault for not parking ''straight''.
After the HD employee pointed out to him that this was a loading zone and not a parking space,I Slowly spelled out L O A D I N G for him. It had the desired effect as the dude turned Purple!
After the dude discovered he could indeed navigate around me and advised me to perform an act that is impossible to do to yourself, a good laugh was had by all the other guys present. Even the store employee said he wished he could do that to some of the idiots that come there. BTW, he had a heavy New York accent and a Kerry sticker on his car!
