I needed this.

Today's grocery run was worse than usual, with people flooding Livingston both to prepare for Thanksgiving and to do Christmas shopping. It was infuriating trying to navigate the stores among hordes of people acting as if they'd never set foot in a store of any sort in their entire life.

But worst of all, as ever, is navigating the parking lot. Finding a suitable spot is bad enough. Dealing with parking lot vultures (cretins who sit in the driveways waiting up to ten minutes for someone to finish loading their car, get in the car, and drive off so they can get the space), street gabbers (people who stop in the street or driveway and have a five-minute conversation with someone else, blissfully unaware that any other drivers in the world exist), spot crammers (people who park in places that are clearly marked No Parking for very good reasons- fire lanes, wheelchair-lift-accessible handicapped spots, TREES) and other people who, in an Overstreet dictatorship, would have their driving privileges permanently revoked and their breathing privileges put on probation.

Yes, I get just a little tetchy when it comes to inconsiderate morons in parking lots.

Which is why this feature on Huffington Post amuses me tremendously:

The Funniest Notes to Bad Parkers Ever Written

I need to take note of some of those ideas for my own use...

I do like some of those notes.

A couple of those were actually funny. I liked the one that said, "Who taught you how to park -- Stevie Wonder?" and the one whose author's first language was clearly not English.

However, the damn thing grabbed my browser and wouldn't let me back out when I was done. I had to kill the tab and open LJ back up in a new one. Bad online manners, HuffPo!

My favorite one was the pre-printed "Congratulations! You have just qualified to be the new 3rd Stooge!" complete with photos and a blurred Your Face Here space. }:-{D
