Cycle parking
Author: JustMe
I already have a ‘bite me’-day today … so anyone who slightly bothers me will really get it.
Knowing this, I was cycling to the shops to do some groceries. I park my bike there against such cycle-parkings. I have 2 kids with me on the bike ! The ‘rule’ with such bikeparkings is .. ONE bike against each side of the parking-thingie. Now, that is not hard to remember, right ? YA THINK !
When I come back with 2 kids ( a 10 months old and a 2 y.o. ) I see someone has parked her bike right next to mine. Leaning ON MY BIKE. More like this pic and than my bike is somewhere in the middle …
Than already many things cross my mind ..
I mean, I have 2 kidsseats at my bike. Anyone can think that that MIGHT mean I have 2 kids with me. And how am I suppose to get them on my bike … when that one is leaning against it !!!!
I have to wait until that lady appears … and after a few minutes she is there. I am there … holding my 10 months old and 2 y.o. next to me.
She gets her bike … says nothing.
Me : Can I say something ?
She : What ?
Me : I am not that thrilled you parked your bike against mine …
She : Oh …
Me : You can see , due to the bike , I am a mom … so I am suppose to wait until you come back ? Where do you get off parking your bike against another bike ? You know you should not do that !
She : I wasn’t gone that long …
Me : Soooo ? What difference does THAT make ? WHY did you park it against another bike… who does that ? There is plenty of room ! Even when you are gone just a few minutes, for me .. HOLDING a 10 months old, that is LONG. Besides the fact I should not be the one explaining myself to YOU ! Why did you do this ????
She : Uh … yeah, well … sorry ????
Me : Sorry ? Are you mocking me by using it as a question ????? Are you really standing here and mocking me in MY FACE !!!
She : …. ( now she gets it … I am serious )
Me : You better go now, because you are realllllllllyyyy pissing me off ! And remember my bike well, NEVER put yours against it anymore, you won’t live to see yours if you do. GET IT ?
And there she went … gosh … I do hope she will think again before ever doing that again. Sjeeess !!! I have such a ‘bite me’ day … whooohooo !
