A middle aged woman parked in front of my 24' straight truck on Black Friday. Needless to say I was in a loading zone, parked right wheels to curb, knuckle head was parked about three feet in front of me left wheels to curb. I went ahead with my deliveries, upon returning to my truck someone had parked behind knuckle head, completely blocking her in. I delivered yet another package, returned to the truck to hear this woman yelling about my truck! She, in very sailor like cursing terms, told me to move. I told her that there was no way I was backing up my truck with all the people coming and going out the entrance to this mall. She called the cops, the traffic enforcement officer showed up. He didn't say a word to me, but did ticket the knuckle head, and the car that had parked behind her. (They were in a loading zone, reserved for Trucks. Knuckle head parked on the wrong side of this road!) Knuckle head continued to yell and scream, and blamed me for her ticket!
I did offer her the keys to my truck so she could move it herself, she declined. To stupid to drive a stick, I guess.
Anyhow, I can't believe the lack of people taking responsibility for there own actions. This has also been passed down to the brats they breed and set out into the world. It's a damned shame.
