Biggest Jerk
« on: September 13, 2017, 03:13:46 PM »

 











Last month while on our annual ADV ride in Maine I broke my ankle when the KTM 990 didn't take well to some Quad Ruts. Anyway, yesterday I got out of the cast and got into a walking boot. This morning I pull up to Cumberland Farms and parked in one of the gas lanes. I walk up through an open parking space toward the front door, I admit not too briskly but OK. All of a sudden about half way through the parking space and maybe 10 feet from the door I hear somebody banging on the horn right behind me. I figure, "What Ahole friend of mine is behind me busting my chops?" Well to my surprise it was a thirty something, possible construction worker, in a beat up headlight frosted 90's era Taurus. I just turned around and looked at him with a WTF? look. Never saw him inside but appeared to be just another Douche Bag mad at the world and blaming everyone else for his issues. That, for whatever it's worth, was my take on him.

Just had to get that off my chest.

  Did you take his parking spot or something else set him off on you ?

Sounds like you were simply moving too slowly for his tastes. The world is full of jerks.

Certainly, you gave him the international fu sign.  Please tell me you did.  Then beat him with your walking boot.

Shoulda planted that boot in the hood of his car  >:(

One of my dads buddies is an amputee (above the knee) but he walks normally. A foul-mouthed Irish man  ;D
He was telling us the story of when he parked in a HC spot at the mall, got out, and started to walk in.
Some woman parked her car and began yelling at him for taking up the HC spot...so he reached down and pulled off his leg and went hobbling after her with it.
I cried from laughing so hard. . .
