This calls for a rant.

This morning was a wreck.  Chaos was sick (of the really smelly, runny, explosive poops variety....you're welcome for the visuals) and I'd slept in, so I decided to skip the hour-long commute and drive today.  On a side note, it's a damn good thing I drove because I had a meeting in the industrial area at lunch time that I completely forgot about until I opened my e-mail at school. 
When I drive to campus, I usually park under the Ag Building.  In the summer there's LOTS of ROOM so, it's easy access. 
So, there I was, driving my gass-guzzling-emissions-test-failing-rusted-out-can't-miss-it-in-a-parking-lot 4-Runner down the ramp under the Ag building when I had to SLAM on the breaks because some PRINCESS was trying to park a HUGE TRUCK in a spot that was WAY TOO SMALL!  I'm pretty sure she decided to park there because it was the first open spot she could find and maybe was in a hurry.  I don't know, but if she was in a hurry, she lost a 5-minute head-start.  In the summer, there's absolutely no shortage of spots under the Ag building.  Absolutely no shortage, and if you hunt a little more, you can even get away with taking up 2 spots in a huge truck. 

I guess this rant really has 2 parts: really big trucks and bad drivers. 

I know there's a purpose for REALLY BIG TRUCKS - mostly as compensation for lack of, well, you know - but I really don't see the purpose for any typical city-dweller, except if you have a boat or a HUGE RV.  Honestly though, those trailers are so light, you could get away with a 1/2-ton, just fine....without the lifts.  Why people life their trucks, I really have no idea, simply because the gear box is still dragging about 18" off the ground - in the center - and really doesn't add much to the suspension.  If you're going to be that much of an idiot to get stuck, you're likely going to high-center the son-of-a-bitch and you're no further ahead if you lifted it or not.  Yeah, I'll never really understand.  I'm no expert on why someone would truly decide to put a lift kit on a truck, I'm pretty sure it's because they prefer to show their balls off on their trailer hitch, but seriously.... 

Getting on to Princess.  I really hate women drivers who make bad decisions and make the rest of us lady drivers look incredibly bad.  FUCK!!  I'm a hell of a good driver.  I've driven very large equipment through very busy city streets and have done just fine....and have even met my fair share of idiot drivers there too.....FUCK!!  I know the limits of my vehicle, I know how quickly and tightly I can turn, and honestly, put me in a different vehicle and I'll figure that out pretty damn quick too.  I know where the edges of an '82 Lincoln Continental are and even parallel parked the sucker for my driver's test.  I'm a really good driver.  I can back a 30' long, 8' wide trailer into the space between a NH Precision drill in transport position - I'm threading it into a 9' hole.....I'm THAT GOOD!!  Now when some pretty girl who thinks she can park a huge truck into a spot too small, and has to re-align herself 6 TIMES (I counted) that really chaps my ass.....yes, the assless kind.  Her best bet would have been to give the fuck, turn around and park outside where she is less likely to hit shit. 
Very frustrating morning.
