Seriously?!

You know what? The nicer you are to people, the meaner they will be to you. I’ve already learned that so many times! And it is so true. Once in a blue moon you will get that nice person. But seriously, what is wrong with people these days?!

Maybe I should direct this post toward teenagers, because they are scary and I’m scared for our future. I had this incident happen to me today.

We line in a town home and we all have 1 assigned parking spot and one car garage. All our spots are marked RESERVED with a number. My understanding of a reserved is that it belongs to someone and only THAT person can park there. Period.

Apparently, some people don’t get that. Princess and I were waiting for Daddy and Kapitonas to get home from church. We were standing outside next to our building and waiting for the car to pull in. I see this white cars pulls in, I don’t think anything of it (since there are a lot of people that drive in and out the long drive-way, they are all residents and once in while we get a visitor), then I see this teenage girl is walking out to the street, crosses the street and goes in in the house across. What the heck?! I’m thinking, did she park in one of our spots (by ‘ours’ I mean all the residents that live in these town homes) or maybe in a visitors spot? This is a private property, even the visitors belong to us, and only OUR visitors can park there.

So walk down to the parking are to see if that white car is parked in the visitors. Nope. Then I look at my spot and there it is. That same white car that pulled in a few minutes ago. And that car must belong to that teenage girl that I saw walk across the street to the house. Now mind you, there was plenty of spots in the street, in fact right in front of their house, AND and empty drive-way.

Hubby pulls in a few minutes later and of course now he doesn’t have where to park. He walks over to that house, but no one answers. Now I KNOW someone is there, I SAW that girl walk in the house. Five minutes later I walk down and ring the doorbell for like 15 times. While still outside the door, I hear their home phone is ringing and someone yells out “Just tell then their not home!”. I ring the doorbell a few more times. Nothing. Fine. I walk back and we block the car in. While we still out there, I see a teenage boy walking into that house. So I walk down there and of course the girls (there were 2 in the house) open the door. I tell them that they need to move their car, because they parked on a private property in a RESERVED parking.

The three of them walk back. I tell them again very nicely that this is a private property and that next time we’ll just call the towing company. (I’m thinking to myself that I could have called the towing co, but I was being nice and was trying to get them to move their car and saving them some $$ and hassle). OMG!! You should have seen one of the girls go off at me. I think that was the girl that lives here and the other girl and boy were friends. She was like F this and F that and you fucking bitch. All of this was directed at me. I said excuse me? She says “I have a freedom of speech and I can say whatever I want you fucking bitch!” I seriously couldn’t believe all this. I told her that I could have just called and had someone tow their car. She said she’s going to call and have my car towed (because when hubby parked the car, he was blocking part of her car, so I needed to move my car out the way for them to leave).

I should’ve just left my car there, and should’ve had them call. They would’ve gotten in a big trouble for so many reasons.

I drive my car forward, they back out, and flip me off while driving away. :O

Yup, these are the teenagers these days.

Oh and somewhere there I mentioned that maybe I should just talk to her parents. She didn’t reply to that.

Seriously, if I would’ve done something like that as a teenager, I would be shitting my pants and praying that they don’t tell anything to my parents. I would apologize that I parked there, move my car and drive away. I wouldn’t even think of calling the person names.

That really scares me and makes me wonder if it’s the parents’ fault, or just the way teenagers are these days. And if they are, then it makes me wonder how will my kids be when they are teenagers.
