Ok So we’ve all been there.. You’re driving through a parking lot when you suddenly discover a wonderful opportunity. A Pull-Thru. If you know not what I’m talking about, then stop reading this post right now and go paint your nails… or like, learn what a pull-through is.

So back to the story. You discover a pull-thru and you’re like, “oh holler yeahhh.. this is great”.. grooving and bopping to your music, innocently pulling through, taking full advantage of this glorious opportunity.. and suddenly, even though you’re 3/4 of the way into the spot already, some evil-eyed, nasty witch is coming through from the other direction with this look on her face like you’ve just really effed up her plan. (not judging, jus sayin’)…

I’m usually the one who throws her hands up and says, “Ok, Ok, I’ll pull back”.. (said at an awkward volume with weird intonation because you know they can’t like, hear you, really)… but they don’t even give you a chance! They huff and puff and throw their hands up (but not with defeat, they do it with full faklempt-ness.. which makes you want to reverse your initial instinct to just like, be a nice gal and hand over the spot).

SO, my friends, this is my question.. what is pull-thru etiquette? Is it rude to do at all? Is the spot yours after you’ve gone so far? Talk to me?! Maybe I’m living in an un-evolved pull-thru world of not-knowing and therefore pissing off every single Fairfield county woman that I’ve come head to head with, literally, in the parking lot of Trader Joes (where it seems to happen a lot).OMG I’m getting nervous just talking about it!
