I thought the ending of your post was going to involve you complaining to your neighbour. So I don't think the idea is bitchy. Maybe reword it, though. I don't know what she's like.

it's barely worth a thought, except that i am cranky and her parking job sucks. i wouldn't confront anyone f2f over such an issue, but lo i am passive aggressive and sleep deprived and want other people to be considerate. is that so much to ask? (yes, yes i know it is. *sigh*) i don't know what she's like either, just see her fleeing to her car in the morning with her head tucked low, then speeding off like the devil were chasing after her. total walk of shame.

eta: i have never spoken to the gal, all of my ruminations on her relationship with anyone in my neighbor's house is 100% speculation.

She deserves a bit of bitching, erin_o, but maybe replace the "not appreciated" with, "it would really help" or something.

Just got some more details from the veterinary clinic. What they didn't tell Daniel or me yesterday, was that while the blood work was normal, there had been some blood in the UA. So Harvey really does have a UTI, but we managed to catch it at the very start. So the clavamox tablets were not given just to make me feel like I'd got something for all the money spent on lab work.

eh, nevermind. the aggressive side of me that wanted to walk up, knock on the front door, and ask the owner of the red kia to move her car 12 inches so that this broken-footed night shifter could park ifo her own hs (damnit) was defeated by the non-confrontational wuss who pulled the note and threw it away, hoping that the driver will notice the the white honda usu parked ifo my house is across the street and realize how crappy her parking job was and never ever do it again.

next time i shall have something more witty prepared. possibly printed up on nice stationery.

Buy some chalk and draw in some parking space lines?

Erin, I say leave the note next time.

Gronk. Neither TCG nor I ended up getting much sleep last night, and my head is pounding.

next time i shall have something more witty prepared.

A note is fine but killing with kindness tends to work better than passive aggression. People will mirror so mentioned that it would really be appreciated will likely change her behavior faster than shaming. It can even be fun, so win/win.

I was wearing no metal beyond minimal jewelry and an underwire. Why did I trip the security? I mean, went fine when I redid it but, yo, that machine was sensitive.

People who hurt their kids should be stomped into putty. People who scream obscenities and threats at their kids should be forced to watch, as an object lesson.

What Zen said.

Sorry you had to deal with such a crappy sitch last night, sj.

When I was a kid, the original fake parking ticket was making the rounds. You can still buy it today. I even made a more official looking one in high school print class. I've heard that people have offended with a more vulgared up version, but the original has the following:

This is not a ticket, but if it were within my power, you would receive two. Because of your Bull Headed, inconsiderate, feeble attempt at parking, you have taken enough room for a 20 mule team, 2 elephants, 1 goat, and a safari of pygmies from the African interior. The reason for giving you this is so that in the future you may think of someone else, other than yourself. Besides I don’t like domineering, egotistical or simple minded drivers and you fit into one of these categories.

I sign off wishing you an early transmission failure (on the expressway at about 4:30 p.m.). Also may the Fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits. With My Compliments.
