Is It Wrong To Wish For A Natural Disaster?
I just came back from the local grocery store, where I witnessed a confrontation between two of my least favorite public spectacles.
In this corner, wearing the plaid shorts and the stupid looking fly fishing hat, we have the upper-middle-class father of four tourist, stashing his 50-foot-long, 5-mile-to-the-gallon-getting Yukon XL land yacht in a handicapped space while his wife loads up the groceries because there's basically no other place that he can fit the ridiculous behemoth.
Bitching him out from the other corner, wearing the lime green pup tent and the size 55 grey sweatpants is the middle-aged woman with handicapped tags and no apparent handicap other than an inability to pass a McDonald's drive-through without taking on at least 2,500 calories.
Where I grew up, we respected the sanctity of handicapped spaces. Of course, they were reserved for people with actual physical disabilities, not lazy lard-asses who've conned their doctors into believing that there's some biological reason why their family goes through a gallon bucket of CostCo mayonnaise every week.
People suck.
