<title>Merry Freaken Christmas…</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;I would very much like to thank the wonderful women in the green Mercedes SUV who stole my parking space this past Friday at the mall.&amp;nbsp; An older gentleman in a baby-blue boat decided to back out of his slanted parking space the wrong way forcing me to back up.&amp;nbsp; I dutifully did the reverse thing and he navigated his ship out and into the stream of traffic.&amp;nbsp; At this point the wicked witch of the West pulls into the empty spot from the other side of the street right in front of me and my mini-van blinker blazing away and the security guard.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;Before I even say a word my children are telling me to calm down because they know Vesuvius is approaching eruption quickly.&amp;nbsp; I honk and open my window yelling and she just calmly sits there waiting for me to go away.&amp;nbsp; The rent-a-cop comes within earshot and I tell him what happened and he says it&amp;rsquo;s been happening all day just ignore it.&amp;nbsp; Ignore it?&amp;nbsp; What happened to Peace on earth and good will towards man?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;I decided it was best for all concerned that I not exit my vehicle and just push on.&amp;nbsp; I proceed around the circle and now approached my spot from the opposite direction.&amp;nbsp; The bride of Frankenstein had disembarked from her non-American four-wheeled broom.&amp;nbsp; I took one last vocal opportunity and barked out to her that she has a wonderful holiday attitude and to have a nice day.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;The unfortunate thing is even now, three days later, I&amp;rsquo;m still angry enough to write about it and I have no doubt that scroogezilla forgot the incident the minute she entered the mall.&amp;nbsp; All it did was raise my blood pressure and worry the kids.&amp;nbsp; Aren&amp;rsquo;t the holidays stressful enough without having to deal with people who shouldn&amp;rsquo;t be allowed out in polite society?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;I must admit though, for braving black Friday with three children in tow that was the only event to blot our very fine day.&amp;nbsp; We patronized half a dozen stand-alone stores and the mall.&amp;nbsp; We had a nice lunch and walked away with several killer deals.&amp;nbsp; All in all it was a great family day and a wonderful start to the holiday season.&amp;nbsp; Despite the Grinch and her wicked ways&amp;hellip;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Sponsored by EnterTo.com the first REAL &lt;a href=&quot;http://mail.enterto.com/signup.html&quot;&gt;spam free email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Click Below to discover and share content from anywhere on the web&lt;br /&gt; &lt;script src=&quot;http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</description>
