I have a morning routine.\u00a0 I brush my teeth and groom myself in the same order every day.\u00a0 I drink my coffee the same way. And I like to park in the same place everyday.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t understand people sometimes. I took psych classes early in college, and I thought I had a good grasp of things, but obviously, that&#8217;s full of shit. Why people do the things they do is completely beyond me; this is implying that I&#8217;m giving the benefit of doubt to thinking people have to notice their surroundings, especially after it&#8217;s been the norm for several months. Even people with disorder-like short-term memory absorb shit after enough repetition, or so like that shitty Adam Sandler movie leads us to believe.<\/p>\n<p>So today&#8217;s rant is simply about the fact that at Dykeland, someone keeps hoisting my routine parking space, and I don&#8217;t really know why.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s not like it&#8217;s premium parking either; because I&#8217;m not a lazy fat fuck, I deliberately park away from everyone else, since I like routine, and I like knowing that the undesirable spot is one I can claim for myself. I&#8217;ve been doing this since I started working here, back in like September.<\/p>\n<p>So after about a month, I pull in, and there&#8217;s this brand-new black Toyota Camry parked in my spot. I&#8217;m thinking &#8216;wtf,&#8217; and I have no choice but to park elsewhere. This repeats itself several days, and I finally resign to the fact that some twat has taken it upon herself to usurp my spot; yes, I&#8217;m aware of who it is, I know what she looks like, I know what she does, but I have no idea who she really is. So I convince myself that the spot wasn&#8217;t that great, since tree shit falls all over my car, and I choose a spot across from it, underneath no trees.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been parking there since. The Camry has been parking in my old spot since. For over several months now. As I said, maybe I&#8217;m being generous in thinking it, but I&#8217;d like to believe the woman is astute enough to notice &#8220;the other car&#8221; that&#8217;s parking in Dykeland&#8217;s bumfuck with her.<\/p>\n<p>This morning, I pull in, to find the Camry in my routine spot, instead of her typical place, my old routine spot. Once is misunderstanding, this time she&#8217;s just being obtuse. And since all bets are now off, I see no other option but to make it perfectly clear &#8211; I park right up on her car; since she parks like a dumb woman in the first place, she&#8217;s far too over on the left anyway, so me parking adequately (okay, slightly leaned due to her shitty lead), I&#8217;m giving her maybe 7-8 inches of clearance for her to open her driver&#8217;s door. As I said, I know what she looks like; she&#8217;s a skinny little bitch, she can fit in there just fine.<\/p>\n<p>Am I being petty? Probably. But I&#8217;m a creature of habit, and I get anxious and stressed when my habits are forced to be broken because of someone&#8217;s inexplicable reasoning to change up theirs and whether it is coincidence or not, force themselves upon mine.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, it&#8217;s not like I&#8217;ve done anything wrong, nor technically, neither has she; she simply parked in a spot, poorly albeit, and I parked in the adjacent parking spot. NOTHING being insinuated here.<\/p>\n<p>This post was brought to you, at, Taqueria del Sol, in Midtown Atlanta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For lack of a better term, I&#8217;m a creature of habit.
