A MOM BLOCKED OUR DELIVERY SPOT & TOLD US TO "WORK AROUND HER"—MINUTES LATER, SHE REGRETTED IT.
I'm a construction foreman working on a house 250 feet up a hill – every single material has to be carried by hand. Our only lifeline? Two clearly marked No Parking spots at the bottom of the hill reserved for deliveries.
If we need the spots and there's someone parked there, however, I will ask them to move nicely, and most of the time they do so immediately. UNTIL TODAY.
I got a call from our lumber truck driver – he was two minutes away with everything needed to frame the roof. But when I got down to the street, there she was: an idling mom in one of our spots, seemingly waiting for her kid from the school, which is about half a block away.
I politely asked her to move.
She rolled her eyes and snapped, "I'LL JUST BE A FEW MINUTES. YOUR TRUCK ISN'T EVEN HERE. TAKE A CHILL PILL, DUDE."
Before I could reply, the lumber truck rounded the corner. I smiled, waved him in, and asked again – firmly.
She rolled down her window and said it:
"CAN'T YOU GUYS JUST UNLOAD AROUND ME? JESUS, IT'S NOT THAT HARD."
I give her another smile and walk away, a brilliant plan forming in my head. ⬇️
