Lulu-rala, I arrived home on my way back from work
There's a parked car blocking the entrance to the parking lot.
I lightly honked the horn.
A hand came out from the driver's seat and went back in
I thought the brake lights would come on and they'd move the car, but they didn't.
I honked again.
The cars behind me also honked.
(I had my right turn signal on to indicate I was going into the building)
The driver got out and without any explanation, told me to back my car up.
So I said, "But I need to go in here"
and they just silently went somewhere else
I cursed under my breath, "What the hell are you saying?"
(Yes, it was my fault, but I didn't say it to their face—I muttered it to myself, but apparently they heard it)
They asked why I cursed.
I said I was sorry for cursing, but shouldn't you apologize first?
They said "My wife has the car keys and went shopping, what am I supposed to do?" and never apologized until the end...
From the beginning, if they had just said "I'm sorry. My wife took the car keys to go shopping. Could you move your car forward a bit?"
There wouldn't have been any conflict.
So why won't they apologize?
