rant: Park spot encroachment

[Maclowery]

I had been enjoying a nice afternoon in central park on a shady rock about thirty feet from anyone else. Great day.

Until this boisterous English family planted themselves about five feet away fifteen minutes ago. There are many spots all over and you have to invade my rock? This encroachment will not stand.

What the hell were you doing on a rock all day?

Close parkers eh? Man I hate close parkers.

I had a weird experience at a bar a few months ago. I had some time to kill on a Friday so I decided to stop at a bar and have a beer to kill some time. I go to the bar and the AC blower is directly above my head, so I move to the other side of the bar and sit at an open seat.

About ten minutes later another guy comes up to the bar, grabs a chair from the opposite end and moves it between me and the guy at the edge of the bar to where he's basically bumping elbows in order to wedge a chair between our two chairs and orders a beer. Absolutely no idea why the guy decided he needed to sit right there, but it was pretty flippin weird.

I've had this happen all the time - especially with campsites. Once-it was a Thursday so we were occupying maybe the 5th spot out of 100 sites. Sure enough, after we get set up - pickup truck camping dude pulls in next to us. last time out -went camping in MI on island with about 50 people on it for 24 square miles of space , and god damn [expletive] hepped-up boy scouts end up all around us.

Something about human nature.

Movie theater seat encroachment is the worst...it's like, c'mon yo...there's the whole rest of the theater.

[Freed Roger]

open for suggestions on human repellent.

This may be harder than you think- things like Nazi flag, don't tread on me, confederate flag may draw kooks. Rainbow flag may have unforeseen consequences.
etc

Especially when you're watching a porno.
