You could fit a Fit in there |
It reminds me of an incident a few months ago, also in my neighborhood. A woman in an SUV pulled into a spot behind me--way behind me. As we both left our cars, I suggested she move hers up to make room for more cars to park behind her. No, she said, she would have to get out. I pointed out that she had more than enough room to do that. She started to walk away. I said, "I just think it's a bit selfish to...." She turned on me, "I'm not selfish, you're selfish." Reader, you can categorize me at that moment in any number of ways--jerk, asshole, fill in the blank, but selfish?
I once had a housemate in Pawtucket, RI, where on-street parking was easy, who got so fed up with the way another neighbor parked that one night he used his truck to physically push the neighbor's car forward a few feet. He spent the night at the ACI (Adult Correctional Institute). I think a better solution might be a bumper sticker we could apply in appropriate situations: "I don't park like shit, I'm just spacially challenged."
Great idea! It reminds of the t-shirt I wanted to make that said;
