Parking Lot

Erika's pre k has a tiny parking lot. It is terrible. The spots are angled and you can barely see the paint and the driving lane in between the spots is barely wide enough for a car. Drop off and pick up is hair raising. You have to drive real slow...especially pulling out because you can't see anyone walking.

However, it seems as if all the parents understand this and we all take our time and are courteous to one another.

Except for one parent.

They drive this GIGANTIC SUV. And insist on parking it in front of the walkway to school. In the area that has striped lines through it that says NO PARKING. And if this isn't bad enough, they don't pull up all the way so no one can get past them to leave the parking lot. Every single day. Why?? What makes you so special?? I could understand if you are running late (although the school isn't nutty about lateness. They are 3-5 years old) I could see if you have 6 kids in there. (only one kid ever gets out of the SUV) I schlep my 2 girls every day from where ever I am parked in the lot. Rain. Wind. Cold. Hot. Why can't you??

It really annoys me to no end. But what do I do? Tattle to the director??

I just don't understand why people think they are better then others. I try to step back and think "Maybe I don't know the whole story. Maybe they are handicapped. Maybe the kid can only walk so far." There is always more to the story then what appears on the surface.

But this still annoys me.
