**El Presidente** , a little clarification about the nature of the couple’s illegal park job might go a ways here. ---

Yeah…was this “illegal” parking done on a city street or a private parking lot? AFAIK, you can’t really park “illegally” in a private lot unless there is a sign stating something along the lines of “according to ordinance 102.3b you can’t park this way without breaking a law.” Otherwise, you’re just parking like a dumbass. ---

What a despicable FAT fatty-fat fat obese overweight pork-o-morph. Maybe he would have been quicker to move his car if the restaurant manager had announced a free dessert as reward. With extra lard topping. ---

So let me get this straight… Fatso was NOT parking illegally, however, becasue the old couple DID park illegally it ended up blocking them in when Fatso parked legally? So what was Fatso supposed to do? Not take a perfectly legal spot because some idiot doesn’t know where they’re supposed to park? ---

> [@Scumpup](#): > > Nice bit of imagery, but I think you should have gone with “leather recliner” or “vinyl sofa.” You know those fatty fatty fat wats could never get back up out of a beanbag even if you dangled a whole box of Little Debbies as bait. You’d be amazed what kind of rocket propulsion a fatty can accomplish with a BIC lighter and some intestinal gas, when Little Debbies are at stake. ---

Jiggly Puff’s failure to do so meant that everyone else in the restaurant, including the staff, was inconvenienced, just so Tons Of Fun could prove a point. Obnoxious. ---

Yep - Biggy McFat in the OP was a dickhead, no doubt about it. (Relevance of fatness notwithstanding). However, I too am trying to figure out how the old people parked that they were illegal and he was not - OP - can you clarify? ---

> [@bup](#): > > “So let me get this straight…” is a great clue that whatever comes next is patronizing. It’s almost as dependable as the post that starts “Um.” Well, I just have to say in defense of the subject of the OP’s ire, “Some of my best friends are fat people.” ---

I cant take anymore of this sophisticated writing bullshit. I need my protagonists well defined from the start. It’s quite obvious Lardass qualifies as villain. He’s fat. And, as they all do, he likes eating things up for free. I note he also likes his food warm. Stop muddying things up. ---

> [@](#): > > All we’re missing here is envy and lust and we would have the superfecta. Well obviously jerk boy envied the old couple for beating him to the better parking spot. His parking them in is a sign of his lust and envy for their superior parking maneuver. He’s obviously just upset that they beat him to it. ---
