The school carpool
Okay, pet peeve time. Why is it that the school carpool line can be so frustrating? It almost never fails that someone, male and female, will try to take advantage of everyone else in line. One is jumping to the head of the line, another parks and gets out leaving their car abandoned causing a back up or worse someone cuts someone off at the exit to get to work on time. Last fall it either got so bad or dangerous that a Klein Police officer stood in the parking lot directing traffic! What's wrong with sensible adults?
I know that getting to work on time is important but at what expense? It seems it's just another sign of the times that everyone looks out for themselves first. "It's okay if no one gets hurt; No one will know; It's just this once; I'm in a hurry; I'm entitled…" That's a good lesson to leave with our kids as they start the school day (sarcasm :-). As the SUV squeezes to the front of the line, pretending to ignore everyone else…here we go again. I hope this isn't the start of parking lot rage.
