Of all the rude and indecent things to do

Sometimes I wonder how people can be so insanely selfish and rude. How in good conscience can some people act the way they act? Is that moment of instant self gratification really worth it? Last night while I was at Miri's bridal shower Mark's friend came over to visit. He was only going to be here for a few minutes to chat and download a video game that would take too long to do on his own computer. In these mere 45 minutes that he was here a faggot neighbor of ours decided to have his car towed. At this time his wife was out and wasn't returning for quite sometime leaving their parking spot quite available. By the time his wife would have got home the car would have been gone and nothing would have been wrong. But on merely passing the parking spot he immediately called to get the car towed. He didn't even have the decency to leave a note on his car informing him that this is reserved parking. Surely he would not have parked there had he known that he was in someone's spot and would be an inconvenience. This neighbor we shall refer to him as Faggot could have been having a bad day but so what? Does that really honestly justify making someone elses day suck too? While "more holier than thou" Faggot made himself feel better he ruined the day of another person. Mark's friend had just lost his job a few days previous and is stressed out enough about the financial burden it will cause only to be topped with a 110 dollar fee to get his car back. Not only was Mark carless because I was at the shower, but so was his wife who was doing her resident manager duties at branbury. So Marks friend was stuck here longer than he intended to be so leaving his wife alone to do the job that requires both of them. And here's the absolute kicker. Marks friend had his 17 month old son here who's carseat was in the "towed" car. When I got home they had to illegally take this boy in our car with no carseat to go get the car that has the carseat. Thank Heaven they did not get in a car crash. So the message behind all of my ranting is simply this. Be a decent human being. Don't destroy others to make yourself feel better. If someone at a restaurant gets your order wrong deal with it or politely ask them to fix it, don't yell at them, don't cut their tip short, don't talk to their manager. You never know if this person might just be having a bad day. Someone with good intent should not suffer because you are in a bad mood. We are not here to make peoples lives harder. Unfortunately there are people in this world who find joy in doing such. I hope Faggot that you feel better knowing that your little act of self righteousness ruined the day of many people. Luckily there are decent people in this world like my husband who of course had the decency to pay for the cost of the tow so this was not a financial burden upon his friend. I must say though as nice as our condo's are the area sucks. The neighbors suck. Not a single person in the ward has tried to fellowship us. The HOA sucks and I can promise that if one more thing like this happens we are moving out of these condos. They have been more trouble then they are worth. Poor unfortunate suckers who have to live here after us. If we didn't need to sell the place upon moving I would make sure that everyone knows what a crummy place this is. And to any of you married couples who are looking for somewhere to live, don't buy a condo. If you are in the position just buy a house. You don't have to deal with loud people above you. You don't have to deal with rude people merely feet away from you. And you definitely wont have to worry about friends coming over and where their car should be parked. Our next move after getting out of this wretched place is to buy a house. I long for that day...
Anyways on a happier note, my husband has been working on our table all day so far and we are getting closer to being done. We shall soon have a place to sit and eat our meals!!
