"THREATENED BY AN OLD WOMAN!"

There were no parking places available near to the place where I was going. Across the street from my destination is a building which houses an insurance agent and a non-profit organization. There are parking places in front of the building and behind the building. All of those spaces were taken. I parked in the rear of the building and got out of my car.

As I got out of my car, the insurance agent was bidding a customer good-bye. The customer was parked beside me. I noticed his looking at my bumper.   The agent asked if I were there for an appointment.   When I answered no he told me, "You can't park here." I asked, "Why not?"  He stated the spaces were for customers or for people who worked there. I told him, very nicely, that I had parked there numerous times in the past, and with a sweeping motion of my arm, gestured that there were plenty of parking places and said, "I doubt that you're THAT busy!" 

He asked, very snidely, "Do you work here?" I answered, equally snottily, "No, do YOU?" He responded, "If you don't work here, you can't park here!" I continued, "You don't OWN the place and you don't have NO TRESPASSING posted, so I can park here!" [Yes, I recognize that a smart-mouth isn't always the wisest course!]

He told me he would have my car towed.

I said, "And I'm going to tell every person I know to boycott you!" He gave a derisive laugh which of course, infuriated me. I said, "You obviously do not know the power of Facebook!" I drove around to the front of the building and there was a parking space then available in front of the building which was a public parking space.

I parked, went inside and picked up a business card and said, "When I put it on the internet I want to be sure to spell your name correctly!" I left, slamming the door behind me.

When I went home and told my brother about it, he said, "You know you shouldn't go through with that threat." I answered, "Nah, I'm not going to follow through but it felt good to say it." Les said, "The poor guy is probably still in shock from being threatened by an old woman!"
