My super power.

I've discovered it. It involves unwittingly forcing people to apologize for things I did wrong.

Yesterday I was pulling into a spot in the Tilly's parking lot (which is also the parking lot for the Cedar Mill Library, the Walgreen's, the dog groomer, the accountant, two barber shoppes, etc.) and I bumped into the car in front of me.

So I'm scootching and bumping trucks in the parking lot. Of course the owner of the truck is in her vehicle when I bump her, because I have never once gotten away with anything ever. She gets out and looks (I was going like negative miles per hour, there's obviously not going to be any damage) and then informs me I should be more careful. I apologized and told her that I was merely trying not to hang my car's ass out of his spot because she was entirely too far over the line.

Side note: the lines in parking lots are not, will not be, and have never been mere suggestions. Stay in them. Pretend you're four and coloring.

What began as me hitting another car ended with her apologizing to me for being over the line. I told her not to worry about it, but she should pay more attention in the future.

I didn't say it was an AMAZING super power. But I will only use it for good. And probably a little evil.
