Let's Bring Back Shame!
A photo of a note I left for a parking hog from the "Going Places" chapter of "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck."
This is just one from a page of Pinterest pix (and mostly quotes) from my book. There are many, many more in the book -- please buy a copy! And a few for your friends!







He was obviously raised in a barn. (I assume most parking hogs are males.)

You assumed wrong. It takes a lack of consideration to park that way, not a penis. I witness parking hoggery daily, and it comes in both sexes.

Well if you feel like pulling the gender card on rudeness. I have yet to witness a dad leave a dirty diaper in the parking lot. But whole herds of mommies with the precious progeny and an SUV. So yes Amy is right, consideration has nothing to due with ones recreational equipment.

Parking Lot Vultures are my peeve-- they're the ones who hog the driveway areas so they can claim that perfect spot by the door, instead of, ohmigod! walking an extra fifty feet.

I actually met someone recently who openly defended parking in the disabled parking if they're 'in a hurry' and are 'only going to be 10 minutes' etc. .. almost couldn't believe it.

Hi Amy! Its been a while since I've posted but I'm still alive and well. Was working a life-sucking job that I didn't like and got "discharged" from because I wasn't "a good fit", which I would have been if I had been allowed to actually DO the job I was hired for! So, it's back to pounding the pavement again.
Anyway, I received your book last week in the mail, and have been thoroughly enjoying it, although sporadically. But since I now have the time to sit and read it without interruption, I should have it finished in no time! What I've read so far is excellent, by the way! Thanks again for all that you put into, I think it's brilliant!
