Captain Parking Lot

Remember how I've complained in the past about the parking situation at Georgian? Well, today I feel slighty vindicated.

I came out of my last class and went to my car, and noticed an SUV in a non-parking spot that I was essentially blocking in. My first thought was, "Wow, how in the hell did she even get in there?"

As I approached my car, the woman in the SUV got out and said, "You're blocking me in!" She wasn't upset or anything, it was more of just a statement of the situation. I apologized profusely, and she told me that she had called security, but that they were unable to do anything since my license plate wasn't registered or something weird like that. As it turns out, I'd actually been blocking her in for about an hour.

Again, I apologized, but just drove off. Was I callous? For the following reasons, I feel I was justified:

1) If she had to park in that particular spot, that would have implied that the lot was full. As such, she must have been able to get in, so why couldn't she get out? For the record, I think she could have, it would have just been about a 10-point turn.

2) She was driving an SUV. I find it very difficult to feel sorry for people in SUVs.

3) I was in a parking spot. She was in a no-parking spot.

I rest my case. I feel I have struck a blow for everyone that has ever been late for a class because they were trying to find parking, and for everyone that has cursed at someone for double-parking, or parking across two spaces, or parking in non-parking zones.

I am Captain Parking Lot. No SUV is safe!
