There’s a special kind of person who believes the world should accommodate their every whim. We met one such person when a woman parked squarely in our delivery spot and refused to move. Her solution? “Just work around me.” So we did – in the most spectacularly satisfying way possible.
Our delivery driver, a true artist with a 10-ton truck, positioned us so close to her driver’s side that she had to perform an embarrassing escape through the passenger door. Her angry grumbling was drowned out by our silent cheers. When she finally confronted us, our explanation about safety protocols and unsecured loads kept her exactly where we wanted her.
The arrival of parking enforcement turned the situation from satisfying to legendary. In her desperate attempt to flee, she managed to crash into a porta-potty and beach her SUV on the curb. The sight of her in handcuffs while we calmly finished our work was the kind of poetic justice you can’t make up. It served as a perfect reminder that entitlement often comes with an unexpected price tag – in this case, a hefty dose of public humiliation and legal consequences. Some lessons are best learned the hard way.
