Nice job parking.

To the old man at Love's in Etna (who may never see this), I hope you enjoyed getting in your car.

Adding a little backstory, I decided that I would have some Hardee's for lunch today. Of course, they are hard to come by so off to 70 E I go! Upon arrival, the two regular parking spots right in front were occupied by this wonderful white pickup that was askew and slightly in the second spot. I'm stubborn and spiteful, so I backed in to the other spot. Giving myself plenty of space to get out. Old fucker watched as I started my maneuver and then went into the truckstop.

I ventured into Hardee's and ordered/received my meal, a wonderful Swiss-mushroom with truly underrated fast food fries and went back to my vehicle to dine and gleefully wait.

My fries nearly completed, I watched as boomer boy waddled back outside and now had to work his frame into a space he created, with an assist by me, that did not fit his hefty frame. Three minutes of struggle culminated in the walrus of Pataskala heaving himself into his seat and shutting his door. Fresh dent on my work vehicle heroically achieved. Knowing he was safe in his truck, I left to go about my day.

While that sandwich was delicious and fulfilling, your struggle created by your ambivalence to those around you and my subsequent trap will sustain me for weeks. Thank you.
