At the car wash (yeah)

We had a few errands to run after work tonight, and since the car hasn't been parked in the garage for a night or two, it was in need of a wash. So we drove to a BP on Payneham Rd where you can get a wash in one of those automatic jobbies for six or seven bucks. To get to the car wash entrance at this servo, you have to drive around the back of the building and I parked in a bay near where you go in, by the air/water station. I went in and paid and was given the ticket with the magic number that you punch in to make the thing work. As I came out, there was a guy walking towards me who had left his car, not in a bay, but across the back of our car, facing the car wash entrance. He was in the building by the time I realised he had left absolutely no room for us to back out and proceed to the car wash. He'd blocked us in, so he could get back in his car and get in first. Which he did. Which we thought was rather rude, in fact. Don't you agree? So we waited behind him, while he got his car nice and shiny clean ahead of us. Bastard. As nice as you try to be in life, some people you just can't help wishing death on.
