Hell is for soccer moms....
Ever run across someone so self absorbed and narcissistic that they believe the world is uninhabited save for themselves and whoever is on the other end of their damned cell phone?
Next to my kid's elementary school is a small cul-de-sac where some parents park to pick up their offspring. This small side street faces the school and is next to the crosswalk.
The street slowly fills up with SUV's and mini vans all with white stickers on the back window advertising how many children they have and each extra curricular activity they are involved in. Is it just me or is advertising how many cheerleader daughters live in your house stupid and reckless?
Anyway, these soccer moms block the all the driveways on this street and refuse to move for legitimate residents leaving or returning during pickup time.
These so called parents race down this small side street while it is swarming with kids.
Jockeying for position, they hit parked cars and mailboxes trying to fit a 22 foot suburban into a 21 foot space. I actually saw one lady guiding another one into a parking place and she let the driver hit the same parked car three times . Once she had smashed her way into the spot the lady directing her smiled and gave a big thumbs up.
Once the soccer moms have picked up her children, they floor the accelerator cutting off anyone who may be decent enough to wait for the street to be clear of children.
I have seen some shit bag moms actually honk and rev their engines at small children that walked too slowly across the crosswalk.
Once the signs go down and its free to drive, traffic usually backs up in front and behind the crossing guards. Do these parents leave the crosswalk clear while waiting for their turn to pull out? Fuck NO! they park their godamned urchin bus in the middle of the crosswalk completely blocking it so that no more kids can cross. I call this phenomena kid-lock.
Once someone gets behind the wheel do they lose all morality, decency and sense of responsibility? What are these assholes thinking?
One time an old lady in her nineties who actually lived on this particular street was hanging out of the passenger side window of her carpool screaming "GET THE FUCK OFF MY STREET! FUCK YOU! WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE!" At first I thought she was a crazy mean bitch for yelling that to a bunch of six year olds... turns out she was yelling at their parents.
Can't say I blame her.
