yogurt fanatics. And every week the parking lot has gotten fuller and the line longer and the people lining the store fronts sitting on benches, standing, and riding skateboards is larger and larger. It’s all been annoying for the grumpy people likeme who take to change slowly and resent any inconvenience that does not provide a direct and reciprocal benefit. What no one seemed to think about when they installed


this yogurt Mecca was the potential popularity of the place and its ability to seat 20 with another 40 people in line and a good 50 congregating outside the front doors.All of these peo- ple are parking in the itty bitty lot outside that also serves six other businesses. Still, it didn’t seemlike a big deal until the throng became


bigger, more boisterous and less aware of the line between sidewalk and parking lane. I’mjustmindingmy business, buy- ing grocerieswithmy little girls and amsubjected to the ampli- fied swearing of delinquent teenagers all stuffing their faces with yogurt and blocking the sidewalk while they are at it. I have clearmemories of being an obnoxious teenager, so I let it go. The trash cans are literally overflowing with yogurt cups and spoons, but I guess themanagementwill eventually realize their trash receptacles are inadequate. I’m doing my best to accommodate this new order when


the situation disintegrates into total chaos. Once parked in the lot, I find I can barely get out. The yogurt devotees have filled their live-culture chapel and pushed out into the parking lane where, as a collective, they are oblivious to the vehicles inch- ing toward them. And no one seems to be watching the youngsters. Three


children, all younger than 8, dart out in front of me with no adult in sight and no sign that they realized they were seconds frombecoming hood ornaments. Sure, it takes me awhile to get used to new things. I don’t


go around bragging about how adaptable and easygoing I am. I like my routine and I like my routine to run smoothly. Even themildest OCD is not a politically acceptable trait, so I don’t expect to be supported in my quest for predictability, but I draw the line at running over small children let loose in park- ing lots.That’s where I stop being understanding and start get- ting snippy.
