Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]

Common sense or lack of it is one thing that really f
king riles me. I arrived at work this morning to have my parking complained at by a fat useless security cretin with no common sense and a total lack of understanding of making use of space.
Picture the scenario; at the end of a row of car parking spaces there is a slightly wider space by around a foot that has a kerb on the left (assuming you reverse in) with a gravel path between the kerb and the security boundary fence meaning that somebody that parks in that space can park close to the kerb and still allow ample room for a passenger to get in and out. When I arrived there was a car parked in that space and naturally the person who owns this car did what any of us would have done and parked as close to the kerb as possible leaving around 3ft between the side of his car and the edge of the adjacent space. Naturally I park slightly into that bay, to make use of this seldom found extra space, there is still a much larger than average space between my car and the car already parked on my left. This transfers some of the extra space down the line giving anybody that parks on my right more room and thus anybody that parks on that cars right more room and so on. It does not inconvenience anybody and creates more space which ripples down the line. In this case it really is a case of rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.
Sadly after five minutes I was unable to convince the fat useless security guard of this simple concept and agreed to move my car, there is now a 1cm gap between the tyres and the line on the left (doesn’t matter as it is in the bay
). I decided to do this because of the old adage about not arguing with an idiot as they will only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Similarly with complaining to the head of security because I will just receive a copy of the site traffic regulations in the internal post and it will go nowhere.
