Whether you're walking or driving. You are a grade-A douchebag and your ridiculous rushing around doesn't really get you anywhere significantly quicker to justify your douch-ey behavior...

Denied.

We like to get shit done so we can post on a message board for the rest of the day. If you want to go for a stroll, go to the park, lazy ass.

In my defense, my hand was bleeding profusely, so I was trying to get to the nearest hospital. Totally shredded my drum kit, bra.

I was turning right into a parking spot, and the guy behind me decided it would be a brilliant idea to try and pass me on the right. Luckily, he figured out the flaw in the plan before smashing into the side of my car. I still don't understand how he thought that would ever work.

I can see if some local ruffians were intending some ill will toward me, but just getting off of the train and rushing through the herd like OJ in the old Hertz ads is ridiculous...

Acceptable answers would have been, "how about a do you a favor upside your head", or something along the lines of the wheelchair being used and/or having faulty brakes.

LOL!!! No, but in confined spaces, where there's a crowd of people walking at the same rate, it's pretty shitty to barge through the crowd like you're hurrying to save a drowning puppy. I don't even care if you're wearing a sport coat.

Don't turn right from the left hand lane?

At least Rick wasn't one of those jagoffs that insist on backing into a space in a crowded parking lot.

I don't think you know how parking works.

The escalators at the LaSalle Blue Line stop are very narrow, and it pisses me off when there's one person who doesn't walk up or down at the same time, because they mess it up for everyone behind them and you can't pass em.

Unless you're driving a Lincoln Navigator L, I don't understand why there would even be room on the right hand side, unless you were driving through the parking lot erratically and no one around you had any idea what you were doing.

It's a wonder sometimes how you find your way out your front door in the mornings.

Unless you've moved on from your idiot hatchback obsession to driving zero-turn lawn mowers, I'm at a loss how you make a turn with, apparently, no allowance made for a car's turning radius.

When you are trying to turn into a parking spot on your right side you have to go towards the middle of the lane in order to have enough room to make the turn.

There wasn't enough room thus the guy almost hitting the side of my car. I assume he saw me moving over to the left and he started to try and go around assuming I was going to continue to move over. However, the turn signal and parking spot should have clued him in otherwise.

Because I'm accurately judging a vehicle's turning radius? If you're in your 'lane' of a two lane parking lot, you can enter a parking spot on your side without obstructing oncoming traffic*

It sounds like you did it properly, especially if you weren't in oncoming 'parking lot traffic.' And with the signal... without that though, he could have assumed you were going to park in an open spot on the left hand side (if there were one even open.)

People in vehicles are dumb; I know that - I just wanted more information on the story. And a chance to give you some shit.
