lauredhelHow not to react when I ask you nicely to please move your pickup off the kerb cut, when you are standing next to it with your keys on you:
- Make a PISSED-OFF face
- SLAM the screws in your hand down on your toolbox
- YELL that you thought it was just a fucking kerb, and you've never seen a kerb cut in the middle of a block before (it's on a T junction, and it's at the termination of a footpath that only continues on the other side of the road)
- STOMP around to your truck door
- Deliberately REV your engine a lot as you start the truck, blowing clouds of diesel smoke into my face
- Ignore my cheery "Thankyou!" as I proceed on my way
No worries, dude. Next time I'll just take a photo and call the parking ranger. Ball's in your court.
