Theresa at Flying Piggies has hit upon the most perfect solution for those "Cadillac Mom's" (and Dad's) we all have encountered while dropping our kids off at school. Image one of them surfing the net and seeing their own picture up there on the screen in their full Asshat Glory.
Now I say we all form a Bloggers Against Annoying Asshat Parking Lot Moms *BAAPLM's* , and do what Theresa is thinking about and post our pictures of the results!
Alas, I would have had daily fodder to post from the twins grade school days. I endured the daily asshatisms of Dad Who Would Not Park Normally DWWNPN for years. He would lovingly give each child a nice hug and "pep" talk while the rest of us would back up behind him. He also smoked and never rolled the windows down so his kiddies got love and second-hand smoke in one nice package.
Then there was "Dirty Daddy". I use that word to describe everything about this parent. His car was always filthy, his hair looked like this
all the time but greasy. His clothes were, well gross looking. Now if DWWNP was not there, then DD would be. It never failed. DD would sometimes sit there for a half hour or more passing homework, papers and whatever back and forth in the front seat. I swear to god they were doing her homework right there in front of the school at 8:00 AM. Stuff a normal parent would do the night before.
THEN there was I Drive Nothing But Fancy Vehicles Mom. DNBFVM was a complete annoyance. She too thought the spot that was off limits to the rest of us was Her Spot. She was always the one that had to escort her kid into school every morning and tie up traffic. She thought she had me fooled, but noooooo. I had her figured out. She was insecure and tried to hide it behind New and Pricey Vehicles every few months. I caught her checking me out waaaaaay to many times after I got my new car. That to me is insecurity. I parked in that spot TWO times in the 11 years we were there. Once to pick up my son with a head injury and another to pick up a son who was having a bad asthma attack. I always wanted to hit her.
Oh then there was the time that DWWNPN parked in the left side of the drop off and DD parked exactly one car to the right and completely blocked me in.
It was not a pretty sight and DWWNPN never did that to me again.
Now we have a new school and new Parking Lot Asshats. For what can be said, the teenage drivers have been mostly polite but with one exception, Parking Lot Asshat in Training. SHE thinks the stop sign is somehow turned around and facing me, not her. She has a lot to learn. And we have Lexus Mom with Curlers in Her Hair. She somehow manages to take up THREE whole lanes every morning.
Theresa, I can so relate when it gets to the point that you start to enjoy it.
We all have our stories! Share them with me!
So Bloggers Unite! Let's get those photos of these Parkinglot Asshat Moms PAM's(or Dads - PAD's) and post post post! Winner takes all if you can get the principal enroute to admonish the PAM/PAD while waving congenially to you and clueless that you were the one who phoned in the complaint.
And for what it is worth, the twins are silly, out of control and totally hell bent on humiliating each other this evening. I should have known. Today they got their school pictures. This is a ritual in our house. This is Picture Ridicule Day and is a yearly tradition. I don't have the heart to tell them that they look totally identical in their pictures to the point that only what they are wearing gives me a clue as to who is who!
