Life Crudely Illustrated, Vol. 1: The Parking Lot
EDITOR’S NOTE: Due to the overwhelming popularity of the “Donkey Hotay” picture the kids and I drew at church last Wednesday, I have decided to use the my iPhone’s “Sketches” program more frequently on this blog. In a new weekly feature entitled “Life Crudely Illustrated,” I will be drawing, well, crude illustrations of banality we see every day, and uploading them for the world to see.
Figure 1.1. Diagram of the Wal-Mart parking lot in Republic, MO. The arrow represents a car that pulled into a spot completely opposite the direction of the flow of traffic for that specific lot.
Tonight as I pulled into the parking lot of the Republic Wally World, a large rotund individual in a Buick LeSabre pulled right next to me, and then proceeded to pull forward into the spot opposite the yellow dividing line.
Normally that would be okay, except as you can see from the above diagram that the parking spots are slanted according to the one-way flow of traffic in each lane there.
Good luck getting back onto the road the right way without hitting anyone, Rotund Ruffly.
That’s this week’s Life Crudely Illustrated, pointing out the small annoyances that drive us batty.

I hate walmart parking lots! They are a dangerzone and I swear I will hurt the person that hit my poor poor truck in one!
