This Person Exsists

On Saturday I was dropping off my friend at her apartment after a trip to Des Moines and she ran upstairs to grab some gas money for me.  I waited in the driveway entrance to the parking area under the building and my car was blocking the sidewalk.  I was there for 2 minutes at most.  Here is a real person that I met during that time:


Man: [walks up to my car and indicates I should roll down my window] "You know, its illegal to park on the sidewalk."
Me: "I am not parked here.  I am just waiting for my friend."
Man: "The law would say you are parked here."
Me: "Oh... Ok... Do you want me to move for you?"
Man: "Yes.  I would like that." [waits as I move the car forwards 5ft and then proceeds on his way as I return the car to its original position.]


I should say that there was plenty of space for him to walk around the car without stepping in the street or in the scary/dangerous grass.  It would have taken him 2 extra seconds and he could have completely avoided being one of the most obnoxious people I've ever encountered.  But he chose the jerk route.  Good job sir.
