My yearly carpool rant.
August 30th, 2007 | 
Author: Every year I am just amazed at the sheer nerve and audacity of some of the uppity parents at our school. It seems that there are certain parents that just do not feel that any rules that the principal makes couldn’t possibly apply to them.
For example. The Carpool Line.
Our school is situated on a corner. The rule is: enter the carpool line from the south end and just get yourself in line with the other rule following parents and if the line moves smoothly then your precious angel will be dropped off/picked up in just a matter of minutes. Now, sometimes it’s necessary to have to make the big block to enter the line and be a proper rule following parent. Well, it never fails that some snotty little bitch in her fancy SUV will attempt to enter the carpool line from the north end and cut in front of you because it’s just way too much trouble to have to drive down, make the circle and come back up from the south end and even though there’s the big RULE it just couldn’t possibly apply to her because that line is just way too long and oh look at me and how cute I am please let me in so what if I you’ve been waiting in line patiently I’m cute and perky and I have a big FAT SUV.
ARRGGHHHH
Can you tell, I’m a little bit perturbed right now?
This is every single year. All year. Every day. The school sends out note after note about this and people still continue to do it. I think it’s going to take a catfight in the parking lot to put a stop to it. Seriously. And for the record, I DO NOT let these people cut in front of me. They will start inching forward like they want me to stop and let them in front of me and I just refuse to do it. Follow the damn rules. Ya ain’t that special, honey.

yes, stand your ground, girl! don’t give in to those inconsiderate, self centered moms. and besides, they’re basically teaching their kids that following rules are for sheep! get back in line!!!
That really sucks!!! I remember the fights I had to deal with in Oklahoma. I got into it with a couple of mothers. These people are so freakin’ stupid and are so off in their own little universe where they are apparently queen b*tch. I swear I jsut want to rip them apart they make me so mad!!
Yeah, and the first day of school here, a woman in her huge big dooly pickup truck did the exact same thing. Pissed me off!!
[...] Caffeinated Ramblings talks about carpooling. [...]
We have a similar situation here – there is a parking lot where we need to line up and move it along. Last year we got many memos about how and where to park for drop off and pick up, but there are always people who think their poop doesn’t stink and park wherever they want. The thing is, the bus needs room to get into the parking lot and turn around, and if we don’t park a certain way, the bus can’t get in, and the bus company will refuse to come close to the school to pick kids up.
It all comes down to those people who think that they are entitled to all things convenient and the rules are for the OTHER people.
Those parents can get pretty hormonal in that parking lot…
I feel your pain!
So this is the crap I get to look forward to! Ugh! Parents can be worse than their kids sometimes! And you wonder where the kid gets it from. PS…remember me??
Of course, I remember you! How are you??? I just read on your blog that you have a baby! Wow, I missed a lot. So glad we’ve reconnected.
