Could you try to explain why you have a problem with it?

because the purpose of having a placard is to make it easier to walk to and from the place to where you drove. he wasn't using it for that purpose. he was just using it to park close so his daughter didn't have walk as far. and he was monopolizing the spot so it couldn't be used by someone who could have legitimately needed it.

i think he was abusing his privileges.

chris.

what? what am i missing? why did he need to park there? (and "because he can" isn't an answer)

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

trag's got the key that unlocks the whole thing. There's the answer

[Chris_H_2]

But what if he had to get out of the car for some reason? She's running, but oh no! She's tripped!

She's rolling around on the ground crying. Oh god, there's blood. Is that a bone protruding from her shin?

Good thing he parked as close as possible...

she kind of sucks anyway. win/win.

[Jorge]

I think you are in love with your friend.

[Chris_H_2]

[Jorge]

I solved it.

[dad]

case closed.

Nah, you are correct. Being an adult is knowing the difference between can and should, and since he required the space at some point it should be obvious to him which path to take. My wife’s parents require handicapped parking. One is in a wheelchair and one a walker and they need closer, wider spaces. They deal with fake placard people and folks who use like a spouses or parents tag frequently

Plus, all loving relationships are built on honesty.

[Jorge]

Sounds like he is neither a fake placard person nor someone who uses a spouse or parent's tag

Trag is right, there are potential scenarios where he might have to leave the car, it makes sense that he uses the space to pick up his kid. Real weird to take issue with it IMO

[Jorge]

We must also factor in Chris's romantic feelings for his friend, manifesting in this misplaced resentment

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Not sure why but this scenario makes me extremely horny

[Ello Sailor]

I solved it.

[dad]

Chris, you might bring up these feelings with your friend.

It may change your relationship for the better.

[dad]

go on...

[Ello Sailor]

Chris, you might bring up these feelings with your friend.

Absolutely do not do this. They'll know what a weird cunt you are.

[dad]

yeah, he should just express his aggro-erotic feelings here where it's safe.

[Ello Sailor]

Chris is horny as fuck. Jorge nailed it.

[wease]

I’m team Chris on this, but I also think he’s in love with his friend.
