Hey, if your car is smoking, you gotta pull over and TCB (take care of business).

That’s what this person tried to do…but they ran into some complications when a business owner decided to give them a hard time.

Keep reading to see how they handled this big meany…

You can’t park here, this parking lot is for customers only!

“Years back I had a 1986 Chevy Cavalier, my Dad gifted it to me which was super nice of him… it was not the greatest car, but it got me from point A to point B usually without any problems.

One day I was headed to a friend’s place—but I forgot that the Woodward Dream Cruise was going on… Side-note—people who live near this event call it the “Woodward Nightmare Cruise.”

It’s an unending line of classic cars driving up and down Woodward avenue from Detroit to Birmingham, an annual mobile homage to Detroit being the “Motor City”… and good times if you like old cars, modified vehicles, or craziness like motorized sofas or barstools.

As you can imagine, it draws quite a lot of people each year, and causes some extreme gridlock!

Uh oh…

So I’m caught in the cruise and maybe 1/2 an hour of stop and go traffic has my old car overheated… If I didn’t get some coolant my engine was gonna be done.

I’m a few blocks from a gas station but traffic just isn’t moving, so I pulled into the first driveway and parked in front of a shop I had never noticed.

As I pulled in, steam was seriously shooting out from under my hood!

Just as I’m getting out my car, this 60-ish gray haired lady in a purple skirt comes running out the shop and yells “you can’t park here, this is customer parking only!”

I looked at her and then my car and she stammers “you need to move your car or I’m calling the police!”

I wasn’t going to move my car (driving at all would have literally killed it), but immediately inspiration for MC tickled my brain and I decided to walk into this woman’s shop.

She was clearly ****** off by this move and ended shadowing me around her shop, watching me like an angry hawk.

The place turned out to be one of those new age incense/candle/astrology type shops… ok whatever I can work with it.

Let’s take a look…

Partially to make my point, but mainly because I needed my car to cool off before driving it… I calmly scrutinized EVERY.SINGLE.ITEM. she sold, all with her watching my every move —she followed me the ENTIRE TIME.

In hindsight I’m surprised that she didn’t have a stroke.

Meanwhile, this one other attendant working is getting her *** kicked by how busy this little place is the whole time, as she’s doing all the actual work.

I felt bad for the lady working but I can practically guarantee this store lost a fair amount of money because this lady insisted on badgering me… both to shoplifting by other people (which I had no intention of) and to people just leaving because their checkout time was crazy long.

Time to go!

About three hours later the crowds thinned out, and I had seen literally every item there was to see in this place,… at this point I figured my car was cooled off enough to make the short drive to a that nearby gas station.

I snatched up a $1 item I’d come across hours ago—a tiny, violet colored floating turtle shaped candle, and I paid for it.

She was still visibly angry and very unfriendly as she rang up this single, insignificant and inexpensive item l. As I left—receipt in hand of course, I smiled and said “wow, it looks like i’m a paying customer, buh-bye.”

Angry gray haired lady actually said nothing but she literally turned red in the face… also the second cashier was somehow laughing hysterically as I walked out… oh and my Mom ended up loving the little turtle candle.”
