Default It's that time of year ALL THE IDIOT"S ARE OUT.

I am in the grocery store parking lot getting ready to leave and a guy pulls up behind me and the dumb *** won't back up and let me pull out, he wants the space that bad.

My new plan now is to put it in park, shut off the engine and go back into the store.

Dumb ****** can walk across the parking lot.

I wasn't aware that idiots were season-specific. I see them year round.

I thought this was going to be about people driving after the first snowfall! Usually the 4-wheel drive guys are the first in the ditch!
Soooo... if he won't let you out, how does he expect to take your spot?

Wife and I took the vette to Lowe's last week, parked at the far end of the lot, no other cars around me. came out five minutes later and there was a F250 (dumb ***) duly with latter racks all over it parked 6" from my drivers door, had to climb in the passenger side

I spent half of my life in law enforcement and never saw any corruption. If I had, I wouldn't have tolerated it. I find it somewhat ironic that you seldom see posts about the honest, decent, professional police officers who put their lives on the line every day for those who couldn't care less. I dealt with dishonest folks in just about every profession imaginable over the years, but I'd never label an entire group as a result of the actions of a few.

Entitlement much?

BTW, LAPD roam my streets. They do a fine job. Its people like you who cry when they get speeding tickets and blame the cop. He didn't make you speed.

I'm guessing that you're referring to the New Orleans PD, which was extremely corrupt. In my opinion, those administrators/officers who were involved deserve everything they get.

There are still hundreds of thousands of police officers across this country who take a great deal of pride in their work and can look at themselves in the mirror every morning with no regrets.

Personally, the shame that corruption would bring to me, my department, my family, and my parents would never justify it. My dad, who passed away 3 years ago, was and always will be my hero. Up until the time I retired at the age of 58, I still found myself making decisions that would make him proud of me. I know that there are many others in our profession who share those same sentiments.

The way I see it, Cops are just doing their jobs. If I am going 66MPH I'm speeding! Nobodies fault but mine. I just think as Americans we are raised to hate Cops and distrust them which causes a reciprocating distrust.
