Earlier today I took my memory stick to walmart to print some pictures to send to a missionary, My little reciept said they would be done at 6:00 p.m. I went back home and did some homework...you know, the usual.
I called up allie and asked if she wanted to come, sure enough she did. We got in the car and we drove to Walmart. It was a nice drive over there, going about 25 mph the entire way...The average speedlimit in rexburg is 25 mph because people are so stupid up here that they just walk out in the middle of the road to cross the street, so cars need to be able to stop quickly. So irritating!
After we pulled into the parking lot of Walmart, I realized this was gonig to be a battle to find a parking spot. I felt like I was fighting car the last parking spot in the target parking lot the day after Thanks giving at 4:00 a.m.
First i went to turn up an aisle and a car came up gonig the other way, then another car was trying to get out of the aisle, and another car was trying to back out of a handicapped spot, and to top it off, people were just walking out in the middle of the road (exactly the reason the speedlimit is 25 mph)
Then I turn around at the end of the aisle and go down another aisle. I feel like every body started backing out rigfht as I passed...arg! Then Finally I spy a white mini van pulling out, right close to the store! Ya, it was mine! i stop, giving the van plenty of time to back out. wait...everyone starts backing out around me....what do i do? I can't pull up cause then the van wont have enough room to get out, but if i dont move, then the cars are gunna smush me. well I pull up just barely in time to not have the other cars make my car a compact. Yes the van was gone and the spot was mine! ITs A HANDICAP SPOT!!! Of course!
people were starting to flow out of the store and were filling the road..I hook a sharp left and go through a gap between a car and the cute little decorative thing with the rocks and a tree placed in the middle of the road just to make people mad...seriously why do they have those? Trees dont normaly belong in parking lots...last I checked anyway.
I finally find a spot! I have to make a wide right turn to get in it, but i wasn't gunna pass this one up, not after what i did to get it!
We get out, go inside, get the 4 pictures I printed that ended up costing me $1.06 (tax is so lame) and we headed home. On the way home we took main street home because the Christmas lights are fun to look at! Then as we turned on 2nd E, i was stuck behind a huge truck. I get in the other lane to go around him and then he starts to change lanes...into mine!!!! What the heck!!! This guy is a typical Rexburg driver! His truck was so big, it would have eatin my me, allie, and my car for breakfast! Just before our cars came in contact he realized what was going on and swerved!
Needless to say, driving in Rexburg is ridiculous! I'm so ready to get back to IF!
