why people back into parking spaces…. I would never make fun of my friends (except for Chris) but I just watched one of the nicest ladies I have ever met in my life spend almost four minutes backing into a very crowded parking space. I mean, it would take 4 seconds to just pull in and park. It would probably take 10 seconds to back out and go home for the day. Watching that just made me think – what’s the point? When I go somewhere I always park where there’s not a bunch of cars because I don’t want the hassle. I guess I understand why people want to park close to the door but, to me, who gives a fuck? Why not get some cardio? It’s not going to hurt you walking 200 extra steps to head into the mall for some shoes.
Oh well – maybe I’m just sleepy. It’s been really hot again lately and I think I’m getting crabby.
On another note, we here at “Don’t Sit By Me” just received this lovely SPAM: “i wish i could write as well as you do in your blog, congratulations.” AWWWWWWWWWW THANKS!!!!
They back into parking spaces because of the other pressing problem of our time: the bimbo Barbie moms who choose to ignore all available sidewalk space which is tailor-made for standing around talking about how perfect their children are, or whatever direct marketing scheme for selling purses/candles/kitchen equipment/dildos/nuclear weapons that they’ve bought into this week, and instead stand DIRECTLY behind my car at school/church/dance class and continue their insipid conversations while I’m clearly trying to back out. If I had backed in I could gesture politely, but since I didn’t, I can either sit behind the wheel and have a stroke or slllloooooowly back up so that they glare into my car windows as I continue backing after they saunter out of my way because how dare I pull in and out of this parking lot/street where they are obviously OMG TALKING?
