Reply #25: My office shares a parking lot with a hockey rink. Many of the hockey moms (and dads)

around here are so rude, selfish, and clueless, even in my limited dealings with them in the parking lot. They spoil their kids like crazy, the kids are even more rude than the parents and never seem to get any discipline. They all drive the most enormous SUVs on the road, and drive them like complete assholes. Apparently they need 4500 sq. ft. of cargo space for their one skinny kid and his hockey sticks. One dork's Hummer has the vanity plate "MASSIVE" and naturally he takes up at least two spaces every time he parks his tool-mobile. They never look where they're going, they have no qualms about blocking the only way out, they drive 50 mph through the lot, they leave garbage everywhere, and they park in handicapped and other reserved spots. If you say anything, you either get ignored or a profanity-laced reply.

One hockey mom even smashed into my car and didn't leave a note. I know it was a hockey mom because I saw her (as I was walking into my office) come barreling into the lot and park her red SUV like a complete ass right near my car. The red paint-filled dent was the perfect position to be caused by an SUV being backed out of the exact space she was in if the driver wasn't paying attention and was going too fast. Unfortunately since they all drive SUVs and several of them are red, I don't know which one to blame. Grrr...

I'm sure there are plenty of parents who are find, but the assholes stand out, and there seem to be a lot of them.
