Not in Front of My Driveway #4
You know, a rattlesnake will do anything to avoid a confrontation. It will run; it will hide. But come too close, and it will rattle its tail. Mess with it even more, and you will end up with 2 round red venom-filled puncture marks somewhere on your body.
When I came home from the dump and the grocery store and found this Fellowship-Church-hired school bus parked unattended and with the doors open, in front of my driveway, I saw red. Then I called Brownlee Transportation, whose supervisor was none too pleased to find out one of his buses was unattended; he apologized profusely for what his driver did and contacted her by phone.
When she got back, she proceeded to have an extended conversation with the Fellowship Church parking lot guard about where she could park, WHILE SHE WAS STILL PARKED IN FRONT OF MY DRIVEWAY, WHILE I WAS WAITING TO GET INTO MY GARAGE!
I may have gotten a little loud and belligerent. "Have your ******* conversation someplace else, but MOVE THIS BUS!" But it worked; she moved. Then, the guard, who was young enough to be my grandson, starts giving me lip. "She wasn't parked. She was just sitting. She was gonna leave!" So then I had to chew HIM out. And he will be reported to the higher-ups at Fellowship, and I told him as much. So I hope he has his lies together; I have pictures.
These pictures will be going to Fellowship's website after I finish uploading them here. Am I overreacting? No. If I've learned one thing in 55 years on this earth, it's that if you give people (including church people) an inch, they'll take a mile. Like the church secretary who said, "You mean you have a problem with our people parked there, even if it's just for a minute?"
I will not put up with this, ever, even from faith-based organizations, even on Sunday, even for a minute, even for a second. I pay property taxes for the use of my driveway 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Guess who's the only one who decides who parks in front of it, even for a fraction of a second? My driveway, my street, my block, my neighborhood.
