Eye opening.

I just witnessed the most ridiculous self centered human on the face of this planet.
I work across the street from an assisted living senior home where, more often then I would like, the red fire trucks and blaring ambulances pull up to the doors to retrieve a senior citizen needing to be hospitalized for one reason or another. Today was no different except one pristine silver car that was unfortunately blocked in by both the ambulance trying to get the closest spot to the front door and the fire truck that was blocking the road so as to create more maneuvering room for the paramedics.
I watched as the Blonde Pris gets in her car and attempts in vain to back out of her spot; her poor space judgment causing her car to ram into the car behind her. Realizing there was no use (although if she was smart and not an arrogant fool she would have been able to pull an opposite parallel parking move and gotten out just fine) she, instead of pulling forward off the bumper of the other car, gets on her cell phone and with her hand to her head starts ranting at someone about her predicament.
Fine leave it at that. You are frustrated that you are stuck there. Maybe you are late to a meeting and stressed about the person you just visited. But don't do what I think you are about to do.
Horrified I watched as this POMPOUS and awful person gets out of her car and walks right up to the paramedics who are rushing to get their things together to help a possibly dying person and asks them if the fire truck can move or how she can get out.

SERIOUSLY LADY?!?!?!?!?! Are you really THAT important, that self involved that you don't realize you are making a complete ass of yourself?
I cannot even express how sick it makes me feel to know that there are people like this lady in the world. Yes, she may have had something in her life that was consuming her thoughts. Perhaps grieving for the loss of someone who used to live in that building or whatever she may be dealing with in her life. But nothing gives any other human being the right to act like the world actually just centers around them and risk another human being's life for something as ridiculous as time. Five minutes. That's all she had to wait. Five minutes for the ambulance to rush the senior to the hospital yet her petty little life was more important than another's. Sick.
