I am getting really irritated with rude drivers! Since I'm training for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and have a 1 year old for a training buddy, I end up at the mall a lot for weekday training walks. I make a big effort to get to the mall as close to 8 AM as possible so that I can try to finish the distance I need to walk before the mall opens at 10 AM. This means I am usually leaving the mall shortly after most of the stores have opened and that I have a decent parking spot. Twice after training walks (and once just after a shopping trip) drivers arriving at the mall saw me approach my car and decided to wait for me to back out so they could take my spot.
If it was just me, this wouldn't bother me. I mean it doesn't take THAT long for one person to deposit their bags, get in the car, and go. But, it's not just me. I have my one year old daughter and her stroller to get in the car.
All I know is that these people must not have children or remember what it's like to try to get a wiggly little person buckled into a car seat... It's not a fast process.
Yesterday's experience took the cake! I was leaving the mall shortly after 10 AM and an arriving driver spotted me before I even got to the car, so they decided to wait. Another car pulled up behind them and someone started honking while I was getting my daughter into her seat. After the third honk, I lost my temper and yelled at the lady that I was going as fast as I could.
I wish people would just go around when they see someone with a baby trying to get their child in the car. It's nerve wracking to have someone waiting to pounce....
