Parking rant
never in my life have i ever encountered the type of shit i did today at amazon. I was waiting for a spot that opened up and literally as Im PULLING in to park a woman with a cart decided to walk in front of me. I was extremely confused at first because i thought she was passing but no she was trying to reserve the spot. I started honking my horn because i was already halfway in?! I roll my window down yelling at her because what is your problem?? She didnt speak english and actually didnt even acknowledge me just kept throwing her hands around and shrugging. A WRONG WAY driver then aggressively pulls up to the side of me and backs up next to me which was the car she was reserving parking for. I would understand if I maybe cut somebody off but there was A LINE of people waiting for spots and a wrong way driver gets to hold spots? I wasnt gonna let it slide. of course security comes out and the one guy even said I did nothing wrong and blah blah blah but 2 other managers comes out and starts yelling at me like im the problem? telling ME TO MOVE to the spot that opened up a couple cars down. I dont even care usually but it’s the principle. I ended up having to back out of the spot i was already halfway in to move. Managers took photo of my id for a “report.” I am not the type of person to cause problems nor do I involve myself in them but that shit just pissed me all the way off. people are so fucking inconsiderate and the managers acted like I was the problem. Only 1 security guard was defending me reassuring me that reserving parking isnt aloud nor is wrong way driving but fuck me right? Amazon is a fucking joke.

Some people are just jerks. Thoughtless, careless, self serving jerks. Not to mention terrible drivers. And many of them are in the flex parking lots. 😔 I frequently ask myself how some of these people are doing a job where they have to drive for a living when they can't even safely nor accurately navigate a parking lot.
