Entitled Drivers

My niece will be a freshman at a Catholic high school this school year. The school held a “retreat” for all the students at a different church this morning, so I drove her there and dropped her off. Like a normal person, I pulled over to the curb next to the church and let her off. Meanwhile, cars are still driving by on the driveway. This was in the church parking lot so there were a lot of empty parking spaces as well.

When I was exiting the church, there were three cars in front of me, going really slow. The lead car was a Porsche Tacyan Turbo, a $150k electric car. The driver tries to squeeze into a small space next to the curb on the right, but only manages to get the front of the car in, blocking half the driveway. The line of cars managed to get around, then the next car, a huge Cadillac Escalade, just double parks to let the passenger out. The car in front of me pulls around and just stops in the middle of the driveway to let their passenger out. Not one of those three entitled assholes pulled to the curb earlier where it was empty. Nor did they park their car in a parking spot so they are out of the way. Instead, they basically decided their time was more important than anyone else’s so they will just block a entire row of cars behind them and let their passenger out. I can see one person maybe, but three in a row?

While I was pulled over, my niece commented that there were a lot of nice cars dropping students off. Well, when the tuition is $18,000/year, it is really target to the upper/upper-middle class. Since this was South Orange County, the line was full of Japanese and European SUV’s.

Seriously, I was going to hold down my car horn when the last car just stopped in the middle of the driveway to let the student out. However, this was at a church parking lot and the event was a Catholic high school retreat, so I just waited.
