Storbit

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: stor bit

Sentence: When Venus Houston went to the mall, she would drive around for hours to get the closest spot to her final destination. In other words, she would storbit around rows of vehicles before she came in for a landing in a spot that was not for the disabled/seniors/taxis/young parents. She figured that these storbits were her mission and why they called a free spot a parking "space". Houston, we have a problem...

This one was inspired by my dad who did this all the time when I was growing up. My word for it is lotvulture.

The scarey part is when lotvultures dive in for the kill. Especially when two of them are going for the same spot. ~ James
