Yesterday I was borrowing the local high schools Internet to do my very important job when this lady came out and told me I couldn't park where I was. Of course being in a zone that is clearly marked, "no parking" I really didn't have a problem with moving. I told her I would move and she kept telling me to move...she is apparently one of those people who likes to argue even if you're agreeing with them. She went on to tell me it's a fire hazard and if there was a fire I would be in the way of the fire trucks...and me being one of those people who also likes to argue even if they're agreeing felt like stating a few facts. First, if there was a fire truck behind me, I would probably move, as long as I had finished reading the latest celebrity gossip online (Lindsey Lohan is a lesbian!). Secondly how would she know where the fire would be? What if the fire was on the other end of the building? I wouldn't be in the way then would I? In fact, say I moved over to the other end of the building and there was a fire over there, and then I had to move back to where I was? Then she'd really look dumb...Of course being a 26 year old white male sitting outside a high school I decided to not argue and moved, parking in a bunch of cars in the process, which she was fine with. Now...this in itself is not really a story, but today I went to the school to download files and I noticed that there were some school district cars that apparently found a loophole in the No Parking rules. If you look at the picture you will see two cars that parked on the sidewalk rather in the "no parking" lane. The red X is where I was parked the day prior and was told to move. Tomorrow I am going to try parking on the sidewalk and see what happens.
