Ever meet someone who was just mean for the sake of being mean?

Today I went to an almost empty strip mall parking lot. I parked close to the store I wanted and got out of the car. While I was unstrapping my daughter’s car seat, this guy attempted to park where I was standing. He honked the horn several times. This totally rattled me. Then he rolled down the window and shouted “Hurry the f——k up! I can’t park with your fat (butt) in my way!” This totally freaked me out. The parking lot was almost empty. There were more than plenty of spaces available, including one on the other side of my car. I was scared enough that I put 911 on my phone in case he tried anything. I got my daughter out of the car and he honked until I carried her out of the parking space.

I went into the store and watched him walk all the way to the other end of the strip mall. There were plenty of free spots where he ended up walking. It was 8 degrees F with a windchill of -15.

So for some reason, he wanted the ONLY parking space on the whole lot that he couldn’t get right away and it was nowhere near the store he wanted to enter. I think he was in the mood to be a jerk and parked right next to me as an excuse to rage.

I left after he was out of sight. He put a damper on the days’ errands.

Anyone else have any crazy experiences like this before?
