I was worth the wait...

So I was on my way home from a trip out west. Been flying for about 4 hours and it was already in the evening of a Friday. All I wanted to do was have the airport parking shuttle take me to my car so I could get home.

I boarded the parking shuttle to find little room to sit down. Not because there were so many people, but because there was a large family (I mean large in size, not quantity) taking up more than their fair share of seat space.

I honestly thought that I had no patience for these people. I had to squeeze in next to grandma (who was only in her 50's) in the seat and endure a ride that is in reality no more than about the distance of 5-6 blocks. But in these tight conditions, it seemed much longer. This family was quite the redneck bunch. Grandma and Granddad were sporting their Crocs (sorry if you have a pair), Mom was kickin' her 80's hairdo and the daughter was just plain awkward. Let me remind you that not one of them was weighing in less than me. Probably had me beat by 50 lbs at least with some of them. My patience grew thinner as I listened to them. "Mom, where'd we park?". "I dunno, to the left I thank." "Do you have the piece of paper that says where we parked?". "Nope, 'left it in the car so we wouldn't lose it." CLASSIC!

Then they decided to get involved in the few other conversations going on in the bus. You know, like only really annoying people can...Nothing really to add, but feel that they must interject something into a conversation they know nothing about and have no business in.

Is it my stop yet?

Of course the driver forgets my stop and proceeds to every other stop before mine. Including this wonderful family's stop. They yell to the driver, "I think I saw our car in 'L'". The driver makes the turn and creeps up the aisle. Then it happens. A quote that made it all worth the wait..."that's it on the left, the white minivan...the LOSER CRUISER."

Aw, thank you annoying family for bringing that phrase into my life. Thanks for knowing that your minivan is exactly that...And thanks to the bus driver for forgetting my stop. Had I missed that I would have just been annoyed by this family. Now I have a memory.

Loser cruiser...I think it might better fit a PT Cruiser...but it is good all the same.

You all are on my distribution list - let me know if you don't want to hear about this random crap.
