Parking Perplexities

First of all let me go ahead and say, yes parking does suck in my apartment complex. I realize that. I understand it and I try to be slightly more understanding than is normal for me. However what I will not abide is when I come home from work, and some idiot has parked in my designated and paid for parking spot. If I can't park in my spot I have to walk out of the complex and across the street to my church parking lot. It takes me 15 minutes. But even though it upsets me to no end, I still try to be nice and knock on all the doors in my building to give the offending person the opportunity to move their car before I have them towed. Now with that said....

Recently we had a couple very young (think 20 years old) girls move into our building. Nearly every time in recent weeks someone has been in my spot, it has been one of them. I have continued to knock on their door and they continue to park in the same spot. And so today, I have made a life changing decision. I am no longer knocking. I am going to simply tow them every time. I know that it is mean, but dammit I am sick of fighting for the spot that I pay good money for. I am sure that they will give me dirty looks....and I think that will be the sweetest thing of all.

Damned dog!

First let me say that I don't hate dogs. I hate their owners. A dog is just a dumb animal that will do what feels good. So unless the owner is willing to teach the dog it will just be out of control. That said. About a week ago I attended a bachelor party for my friend. We held it at the house of a different friend who was using his parents house while they were out of town. This family who we will call the “Medhills” have a 6 week old giant of a dog that they insist on keeping inside. The dog was into everything and all over everyone. There was no way to get away from the damned thing since it was as big as me. The worst part though was when the dog was caught licking pans in a cupboard. I felt just sick that I had eaten anything there. Why the Medhills insist on having an out of control crap factory in the house, I will never understand. But it was nasty. Additionally the house smelled like dog crap like you can’t imagine. So if you are a dog owner please at least keep you house sanitary. Don’t make me add you to my list of morons.
