Oh, good, so its not just in the states that this happens. My favorite gripe are the ones who arrive 1/2 hr early to get a good spot in line, and if the weather is over 75 degrees, sometimes even if it isn't, the windows are rolled up and the air is blasting. If you are parked anywhere near them, the heat from the asphalt is only intensified.
Many of these moms, dads, grandparents (Yes, I know who they are) like to brag about their 'green lifestyle'. They'll buy only free range chicken, use CFL bulbs, ........but God forbid they sit in the heat.
