So I am pulling into a hardware store's overflow lot that borders a church and this old dude jumps in front of my car about 20 feet up. As I try to go around him he keeps on moving with me, as I slow to about 3mph he starts waving his arms each way and totally blocking me. I finally roll down my window and ask him WTF is going on.
He yells, "so you were going to run me over?"
I told him I am trying to park. He tells me the parking lot is off limits to non-church folk until 1pm...it was about 12:50 at the time. I told him I didn't see any signs, he tells me "because I already took them down.".
I told him to go fuck himself and parked.
My good deed was giving $10 to the boy scouts in front of the store and told them to sell the kettle corn pack to someone else.
Funny thing was many of the church people had parked in the hardware stores lot to begin with because it's easier for them to get out when church is over.
I really don't get people, personally if it were my hardware store I'd have them all towed...the guy at the counter said the owner is a church member so doesn't want to cause conflict.
Ahahaha.
You are dumb as shit. The fact that you were told that you were not allowed to park there is more than enough to get your dumbass towed. Wow, you are a fucking stupid twat.
Church gets out at noon, and all those churchgoers that parked in the hardware store lot to "get out of there faster" were still hanging around at 12:50?
When will you realize how fucking stupid you are?
I don't know about you guys, but I always keep my CASHIERS informed of all my specific financial transactions, and make sure to have them announce them to every customer, you know, to avoid confusion.
Since I know it went over your head, I'll state it more specifically: The cashier doesn't know shit other than to hit buttons, take your money, and give you exact change.
Your parents should have been sterilized at birth.
I would have called a wrecker and had your car towed.
Punk kids think they can do anything they want.
while i am not one of alky's fans. in fact think he is a dirtbag.
as a ex-small business owner let me step in. IF the church had his car towed (wich would be very doubtfull since they don't own the land) alky would get his money back. Why?
A) its not the church's property
b) alky would sue the the store and church.
c) store would not want the bad publicity
any of them would do it.
While alky is a jackass and i agree with others in the truthfulness of his story as a whole he is right on that.
i do find it funny that he thinks 100lbs of fertilizer is a lot and needs help loading it.
Reminds me of a couple years back when i had a car with louder exhaust, people would always think your going faster than you are. So im driving down the street i live on (mind you it's a horseshoe shaped street so there is no through traffic) probably going 15-18mphs definitely below the 25mph speed limit, and this lady RUNS out into the street SCREAMING at me to "SLOW DOWN, THIS IS A FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD" because her dumb children are playing on the side of the street (and i didn't get close to them or do anything to cause concern). So I turned around and told her that "If your really that concerned then the probably shouldn't be playing in the street because i was going 15 and you can go **** yourself" the look on her and her kids faces was priceless.

Notice this little gem the OP threw in. (seems pretty made up)
Remember, pretty much telling an old man to fuck off is all okay as long as you give some random kids $10 right after.
Kettle corn is $20.00. Whatcha gonna do, donate half a box?
Cheapskate.
100 pounds of fertilizer? wtf for? That's a lot of fertilizer. But, assuming your lawn is large enough to need 100 pounds, haven't you posted pictures of how "buff" you are? I'm out of shape. Quite out of shape. But carrying 100 pounds of feed is pretty routine. When I go to Tractor Supply, I don't even think twice about where to park if I'm picking up some items like that - I simply carry them to my parking spot. But, 100 pounds is so heavy for you that you needed assistance? LOL! (And, I've been offered "need help taking that out to your car?" And the answer is "no thanks."
Depending on the town/area, the store owner might not care. I grew up in a small town, and I guarantee they wouldn't give a crap about bad pub, because 75% of the town would have direct contact with the owner, and the owner would tell them what happened and make Alke look like an asshole. In that town, it'd be more likely that Alke (if he were semi-rational) wouldn't make a big stink about it because it would make HIM look bad.
It was for my garage and wasn't all fertilizer. 40lbs was Weed and Feed and I used half, 40lbs was Turf Builder and I will use it next time, again half...then repeat. I got 4 10lb bags of pesticide and used 2. I have about 5000 sq ft of turf to cover, I spread at the max recommended for 4 applications per year.
They got me a cart, but since the truck was blocking the access road and the ramp on that side, I had to go all the way to the opposite end of the entrance, backtrack and then all the way around out the parking lot and down to the next road entrance. Not a big deal, I handled it just fine. The point was as much as Joe Asshat was making a big deal I was using their unmarked spots that would have been fair game in 10 mins, there were 3 people walking from the church and getting into their cars in the hardware stores lot. I am sure there were more. By the time I got out of the store the parking lot was practically empty and there weren't many inside the store to begin with.
Hmm the law would look at that much differently here. Also this was a place I normally parked at on busy days. Without signs this was just some old dancing man feeding me a line of bullshit.
They have brunch and sunday school.
I complained about it when I walked in...this is a small hardware store. Many other people I am sure asked about the same issue in the past (why a pickup truck was blocking the access to the side lot)...I'd think many also have asked in the past if the signs were up "is it ok to park there".
You definitely picked the right screen name.
You really do think highly of yourself, don't you? You came to a conclusion, and to fuck with everyone else, you're right.
I usually stop for brunch when I'm in a hurry, too.
So, since you think that they should know, they do. Since the almighty Alke thinks the cashier at his neighborhood hardware store should know all of the owner's finances and agreements, they do.
Do you even think about shit before you post or do you just throw the same shit against the wall, hope some of it sticks and hope nobody calls you out on the BS your are flinging?
So I've "got issues" because I think you are a dipshit? Hey, I'm just calling a spade a spade, and let's be honest here, even the single person that stuck up for you called you an asshole that's full of shit. Sorry, "having issues" isn't telling off an asshole on the internet, having issues is raging at some old guy in a parking lot and telling him to fuck off.
Your reputation is well deserved.
Dumbass? Check.
Asshole? Check.
Fabricates story details to try to make himself look like less of an asshole? Check.
Thinks waaaay too highly of himself? Check.
Thinks anyone that disagrees is obviously crazy or an idiot? Check.
Be careful not to strain yourself carrying 100lb bag of bullshit around with you everywhere.
It's par for the course here.
Think 300 people getting out 2 exits, not in a hurry to get out of church vs trying to get out when it's over.
I don't know what financial arrangements matter. The whole store knew about the church parking, I doubt they know if they are paid for it or not.
I asked why was the access road blocked and was told it was so people from the hardware store don't use the side lot until 1pm.
Nothing was fabricated. You are delusional.
Except you are still full of shit. Anyone in a hurry isn't going to be there to the last second. They are at brunch, in a hurry, they'll be out by 12:30 to avoid traffic anyways.
And you told the old man to F' off, when the church could very well be paying for the priveledge to use the parking lot and not deal with hardware store customers. You = douchehat in this scenario
Here's my take: What if alky was going to attend the service for the first time? He was not known and therefore did not belong? What WOULD Jesus do?
How do you know he was christian? He could have been a little old atheist man who gets paid by the church to watch the lot while everyone else goes to church. He might have even been jewish. Ask him next time you see him. I'd like to know.
Well the holy bible he was carrying was a good bet.
I felt bad I didn't take a picture of me giving $10 to the boy scout so I leave you with this:
I just did it for the lulz.
You really are a sad little man.
