Parking Lot Clowns

The holiday season brings out the most in humanity, including the emergence of the "Parking Lot Clown", hence known as PLC...

In a busy parking lot, the prudent thing to do is make a beeline (aka a straight line) towards your destination. Could be the store you want to return your big floppy shoes to, or the Chrysler K car you drive. In any case...a straight line is best.

The PLC instead prefers to wander across the lot in a diagional, impeding all traffic while they meander and cavort(while staring at the smart-phone) to their row. Or they walk in the middle of the rows of cars (often side by side when with other PLCs). Or they are a senior PLC and drive the clown car...

It was like Ringling Bros. at the mall today...my own bad, I needed to go to the Apple store (yikes!) to get BWSS (beautiful wife of SoulSlam) a new MacBook battery. Anyway, the PLC troopage included somebody who parked in a row (across two cars) with the hazards on...and left the car. It's OK though, they left a 15 year old playing with his Galaxy in the car in case Five-O showed up. Car was there when I entered the mall, and there 15 minutes later when I exited. But he had clown privilege no doubt.

Like Bozo. He's the man. Or should I say clown.
