A big black dog moment.

My wife recounts a story from several years ago, when she was about 8 months pregnant and driving through Wellington.

She suffered badly from morning sickness & that day felt awful. Knowing the best remedy was to grab a ham sandwich & inhale it, she drove into the Lombard parking building.

A car was dithering about which car park to take, so my wife (who has no patience at the best of times with dithering motorists) cut right in & took their park.

She then ignored them & raced out of the building & into the nearest cafe.

Replete, she returned to her car & discovered a note under the windscreen wiper. It said something like

"My family are visiting Wellington today from the Wairarapa & we are just appalled by the discourteous behaviour you displayed when you took our carpark. You may have ruined the excursion for my aging grandmother" etc.

My wife spotted their car a few parks away, and replied on the back of the note "Get a big black dog up you", and put it under their windscreen wiper.

Just before she drove off, she hopped back out, returned to their car and added "Ya cunts."

She's very proud of that moment.
