Lol reminds me of an incident a few years back at a church I attended; at the Christmas Eve service (began about 5 PM) two churchgoers GOT INTO A FISTFIGHT OVER A PARKING SPOT! The pastor wasn’t amused.
“two churchgoers GOT INTO A FISTFIGHT OVER A PARKING SPOT!”
I can top that. I knew a guy whose father was run over in the church parking lot after services and was killed. Slow down folks, the football game on TV can wait a little bit longer! Besides, running over people and playing demolition derby in the parking lot probably makes a poor impression on the visitors.
I too find the meet-and-greet routine a bit awkward. A lot of folks are shy.
So I turn around and politely, I think, informed him that no one else was interested in his car stuff and axed him to knock it off.
The dude went into a tirade and invited me to fist city after the service.
So we left.
