Dear Fellow Walmart Shopper-
Is it really necessary for you to park your truck in the middle of the aisle? Seriously. I know we all strive to get a good parking spot. But, really..it's Walmart. There is no such thing as a good parking spot, unless it's the middle of the night OR your definition of good is anything less than 45 spots from the front doors.
I admire your determination. I really do. I'm not so sure the 6 cars parked behind me (or the three cars in front me) admire it quite the same. It wouldn't have been so bad if it had just been a momentary stop, as you waited for that car to back out of your spot. I really think it was the fact that you were waiting for the poor dear to unload her $400 worth of groceries, and two kids..that really got to us.
Do me (and the rest of us) a favor next time, if you insist on waiting..could you at least park to one side. At least that way the rest of us could get past you, circle back, and have a chance at cutting you off and claiming your spot.
Sincerely,
The pissed off SUV driving, Milking Buying, Toddler Totin'- Mama waiting for your slow-poke self!

Lol! one time I was in a hurry and I parked a bit too close to another car and when I came out they had written in red lipstick on my window 'a$$hold parking'. I just laughed!
I just want to smack those people! I won't stop and wait unless it's winter and I see reverse lights on. People are such fools.
Like it would have killed him to park a bit farther away?
I hope he ended up with the shopping cart that has the squeaky wheel.
No matter where you go, there is always this kind of guy. If he only thought about it, he could be in the store and shopping by the time he got parked in that spot.
after two, count 'em TWO fender benders this summer, I really hate parking lots...if they aren't parked waiting for the "golden" spot, they are barreling backwards at 50 mph without even a glance over their shoulder to notice that I'm there. I've learned that by waiting and letting them do their business, I keep my car out of the repair shop.
Glad you stopped by...I thought I'd return the favor...

I am SHOCKED that something like this would happen at such a classy place!
Go You!
Hope you laid on the horn. That's what I like to do.
Have you seen this:

People like that seriously drive me crazy!! The same type of people park their cart in the middle of the aisle while they're shopping so no one can get buy. Drives me bonkers.
I drive 15 minutes away just to go to a different walmart because the one near my house pisses me off every time I go there.
I avoid Walmart like the plague for reasons just like that! I send my husband instead. :)
Love the sign! haha!
*Thanks for the comment on my blog awhile back. I didn't realize I was still on the MMB list. I haven't been able to find myself. :)
Hahaha! So true. So true.
You are the best!! I HATE people who wait 5 minutes for a "good" spot when they could have parked 3 spaces down and gotten inside before the other person backed out.
Last week we were loading our stuff into the car and there was a car waiting to get into a spot close to ours (they were like 2 spots closer to the door than we were) and the people were standing outside of their car smoking and talking to people they ran into in the parking lot. Yet, this guy STILL sat there with his blinker on AND a line behind him!
People need to take the first spot they see and accept the fact that a front spot at Walmart is as rare as not seeing spandex on VERY heavy ladies at Walmart.
Once the world accepts this, Walmart will be a lot less annoying :)
ooh, this is a pet hate of mine x
Last night there was a Wal-Mart commercial on tv. Christian immediately said, "I hate Wal-Mart." And he does, with a passion. Too bad it's the ONLY option for me in my little town.
