Hello Shitty

You really gotta wonder about people sometimes. The other day at lunch it was raining pretty hard here in Philly. The streets were full of water and the wind was blowing.

There's a girl in her 20's standing in a parking space. It's the first space from the corner, and I assume she's waiting for the light to change and will cross the street like I will.

The light turns green, and I start to cross, she stays.

A guy in his 50's pulls his Monster Lexus SUV past her and taps his horn. He starts to back into the space she's in. He sees her and continues to back up slowly....beeping...backing up...beeping...slowly the SUV comes into contact with the girls and she's screaming at him. He contiues to backup and is now pushing a girl that might weigh 100lbs with a car that weighs over 6000lbs.

He pushes her a foot or two and finally lowers his window now that she's slapping his windshield.

"I'm saving this spot for a pregnant woman, please go away!!!!" She screams through the downpour.

Now this asshole probably has a wife and kids and keeps his lawn green. He has a executive type job and a nice car. At what point did he become so disconnected from humanity that he could bully a stranger like this and think nothing of it.

He could have just lowered his window in the begining, and said "Hey, I wanna park there, can you move?"
