Walmart this morning. I found a spot up close to park except it was in the wrong direction. I was going to back it in, easy thing. When I pulled down the lane, the spot was the second one from the end, this woman drives up in front of me. She starts waving her arms and I can see she's screaming at me.
OK, I back out and let her have the spot, I go to another one. Not a problem. But when I'm walking up to the door she is also. She calls me stupid, then an [bleep].
It struck me; Here's a woman publicly defaming and cursing at a man she does not know. She is doing this to a man literally twice her size. Someone who could roll her up like a wad of used gum and toss her in the trash. So tell me, How does she know I wouldn't do that?
Seems like the lack of wisdom that might just get you in deeper than you can handle. A bit of a lack of situational awareness. She didn't hit the jackpot with me but she seems to be looking for one.
OK, OK, telling it right out, it's not just a lack of wisdom, it's flat stupid. I would have gone to the hunting section and found some skunk scent, tracked her down and gave hear a shot in the back of the head...I mean it's Walmart

I don't know why but I remembered this quote from a few years back. Always made me laugh. The only reason to go into Walmart is to set the potato chip aisle on fire.
Wag more, bark less.
The freedoms we surrender today will be the freedoms our grandchildren will never know existed.
The men who wrote the Second Amendment didn't just finish a hunting trip, they just finished liberating a nation.

Always amazes me people that will do stupid stuff like this in a parking lot then walk away and leave their car unattended.. I don't know of any stores that have security cameras in their parking lots. A fart would be visible in some Wal-Mart lots. I often wait in the car for my wife and daughters, looking around the East Freedom Wal-Mart lot, every light pole has cameras pointing in multiple directions, there are ones on the building to hit what the others can't cover.

Yup. Even the one in little old Kenai has sec cams. A couple years ago, they were instrumental in convicting a murder.

OK, OK, telling it right out, it's not just a lack of wisdom, it's flat stupid. I park in automotive for three reasons... 1) Better shade 2) Less traffic, less theft, fewer door dings and way less drama 3) More cameras. As for your stupid woman... had one do that to me once... I BLISTERED HER WITH A LITANY OF INSULTS SO SEVERE she ran away. As for being rude to a lady... Never, but this one won't no Lady

Slightly angled, the parking lot etiquette suggests the flow go directional one way.
The arrows painted in the lanes "suggest" the same thing. One wouldn't drive in the wrong direction on the interstate, why would one abandon the same frame of mind while in a parking lot?

Parking is the best place to get t boned. People zipping through open slots, running buck wild all directions and goijg 35 mph out on the open areas.

Many years ago I made the mistake of going to the Walmart in Selma, Alabama around 9pm just to get some items for the house I was staying at. My friend was shocked I made it out alive or without incident. He did warn me not to go .

The only thing I've ever had happen out of the ordinary in a Walmart parking lot was being approached a time or two by panhandlers asking for money. No pressure or threatening demeanor though. With the majority of folks using direct deposit of funds and debit cards to pay with and carrying very little if any cash on their person I can't imagine panhandling around big chain stores would be very lucrative nowadays.
As far as parking lot personal gripes I guess folks leaving their empty carts out in the way to roll off into the roadway and bang into other's vehicles instead of putting them in the cart corrals would be number one. Number two gripe would be vehicles straddling the painted lines or parked diagonally taking up two parking spaces.
As to the handicap parking abuse I know several that have legit handicap parking authorization hang tags but are physically able to do pretty much whatever they want including walk reasonable distances. There's seems to be quite a bit of abuse of the handicap parking permits nowadays. So much so that I really don't pay much attention to it anymore. Got to wonder what they do when all the handicap parking spaces are taken though -- park where ever they can find a empty spot and walk like the rest of us?
