As I pulled into the McDonald's parking lot, my big, white SUV was suddenly face to face (or grill to grill) with a bigger, black truck. The driver of the truck immediately gave me the, "What do you think you're doing? Using a parking lot is like using an elevator: the person leaving goes first." look. I happen to agree with him. I always let people exit an elevator before I attempt to get on...unless the elevator has a giant sign that says, "DO NOT GET OFF THE ELEVATOR HERE" plastered to the door.
It just so happens that McDonald's was kind enough to put a Do Not Enter sign just before the giant, yellow EXIT sign with an arrow directing you to circle the building. I was feeling rather helpful this morning (in a three year old kind of way), so I pointed at him, mouthed "You", pointed to the big yellow sign, pointed toward the building, and mouthed, "Exit." Then I drove by him while he stared at me open-mouthed.
I hate it when the directions are so unclear.
