My work day yesterday ended like every other; I was so bored and tired at work I snuck out early only to have to wait for my train buddy. Once she hurriedly gathered the essentials (id badge for work so she could get in the next day, house keys, bag full of whatever, and most importantly her saviour on the train, the engineering marvel, the apple iPod. Anyhow, that is irrelevant to my story.
We rode the train with our iPod’s blaring, in an attempt to drown out the “lop’s” (loud obnoxious people) until we reached our destination. She got off in the first stop or so while I struggled to the end of the line. When I finally reached my stop I got off the train, strolled as slowly as possible towards the parking lot, found where I had left my car that morning, turned on the radio and began a Sudoku puzzle while I waited for the chaos of everyone trying to leave at once to end…or at least die down.
Every so often I looked up from the puzzle to see if the line of cars had dissipated. On one of these observances I noticed that the space to my right was vacant as well as four or five spaces in front of me. Nice, I can just pull out and go from there. But wait, there are lights coming at me. That can’t be. But it was. A car, with all the other empty spaces not only around me but in the entire parking lot, the driver decided to park right in front of me blocking my easy escape. After the shock wore off I noticed that there were two females in the car sporting the ever popular straw cowboy (I guess in this case cowgirl) hat. At least I will have a nice view as payment for the inconvenience but I was sadly mistaken.
