LOL. I use the YMCA facilities and get a kick out of the people who
drive around and around looking for a parking spot near the doors, or
who use the elevator to go up to the gym, and back down again.

The funniest one I ever saw was at a private gym across from a local
courthouse. I had been in court all afternoon and had parked in a
municipal parking lot in front of the gym. When I went out to my
cruiser a woman pulled up behind me. I had to put sort my files and
put them in my briefcase. While i was doing that she tooted her horn.
I ignored her. Then I had to boot my computer and log into the mobile
terminal. That was a slow process. She tooted her horn several more
times. As time went on she became more irate and started with the hand
and finger gestures. Needless to say, that did not inspire me to speed
up the process.

I was not occupying the only space. There were plenty of empty spaces
two cars over, and the entire row across from my car was vacant. When
I finally got logged on I backed out of my space, looked in my mirror
in time to se her give me the finger (again). She zoomed into the
space that I had vacated and went into the gym.

And to think that she wasted close to ten minutes of her time to save
herself from having to endure walking an extra 15-20 feet on her way
in to the gym to get exercise.
