I am at a Tim Hortons in Innisfil this weekend. I parked my bike beside my girlfriends car in the parking lot. A guy in a Crown Vic proceeds to reverse park beside my girlfiends car where i parked my bike, albeit slowly. Of all the emypty spots, he chooses this spot. We're standing at the back
of her car in front of the parking spot watching this guy. I start thinking, i dont think he sees my bike, so i walk over to stand beside it, thinking he'll see me! He still keeps reversing.
Finally he sees me and stops! He completely and in utterdisbelief, did not see my bike! Its freakin Bright Orange? (Candy Burnt Orange)
How can you miss it? When he sees me, he then re-adjusts and parks in the parking spot right beside my bike.
I keep wondering, had I not stood beside my bike, would he have hit it? I firmly believe he would have. Are people this ignorant?
My girlfriend said i should have parked my bike a little more shallower, left the back end out slightly so it would be seen against/beside the back end of her car. From where i parked, more of in the middle of the parking spot, it could look as if nothing is there if you were only looking for another car.
And the kicker - leaving Tim's turning right onto Innisfil Rd. an old lady decides to turn left around a huge school bus, completely unaware of the two cruisers coming - and of course the cruiser hits their brakes, tires screeching, and then swirves around her. It would have been a lot different story had they been aggressively speeding through there.
I'm glad the guy on the crusier pulling up the rear slowed down to cuss her out - but seriously, who takes a left around a huge school bus? Driving 101.
It could have easily been a car coming....
I dont know...i just dont know....people sometimes...absolutely no sense.
End Rant.
