Miss Manners delivers two smack-downs

[cimorene]

In today's column, asshole #1 is surprised that a strange woman in a parking lot didn't like being told that it would have been sooooo easy for her to park her cart 10 steps further away from his nice, new car, and asshole #2 is shocked, SHOCKED, that his brother, an absentee father without custody, doesn't get to give his daughter away at the wedding, and wonders if the proper response to the "vindictiveness" of the "money-grubbing" maternal family is to beat them all down in the restroom. It's not surprising so much when people are rude and clueless. It's always a bit more surprising when they're being rude and earnestly believe it's other people who are being rude to them, though...

In a final, unrelated note of sadness, I have to wait to see the new Bones until Wax is home, and that sucks.
