To the dumb man at Tim Horton’s who apparently was born before cars were able to back up:
When you walk behind my ALREADY REVERSING car, through my BLIND SPOT, and continue to go even though its obvious I have not seen you, that makes you a moron. Not me. And in no way does this allow you to bang on my trunk with your fist in an effort to stop my ALREADY MOVING 2000lb car!!!! Does your utter lack of caffeine make so you stupid that this common sense failed you? Thanks to you, every time I go to Tim Horton’s I now have to use the drive through for fear that your stupid arse will meander through my blind spot again. The lovely dent on my trunk is a constant reminder of how idiotic and arogant people can be. Get a brain and some caffeine buddy.

I know that this may anger you more but I would like to say that the person might have not been paying attention (and you could have too) and was scared you were going to back right over them and the trunk smack was just a fear reaction in which they really didn’t think of anything other than the perceived threat. That being said…it is everyones responsibility to pay attention in parking lots…drivers and pedestrians both.
