i’m an excellent driver
no doubt at some point, you’ve heard ellen and me talk about what a terrible driver she is (as evidenced by the ridiculous number of tickets she gets) vs. what an excellent driver i am. and i’m also pretty good at parallel parking too. (having lived overseas and driven a car that was no bigger than a t-shirt with tires and having had to put that thing into parking spots the size of manhold covers…you get good at it. or you pay high insurance premiums). i’m no genius, but i can usually judge if the car will fit and get it into the slot on the first try.
what’s wrong with people?
you can literally drive another car through there. every time i go to the m&s grill, some one is parked like this. i’m not kidding. it’s like there’s a disturbance in the magnetic field in front of the restaurant…it’s like being in “lost” only hawaii is waaaayyyyyyyy over that way.
tonite’s brilliant parker was from illinois, the land of lincoln. you could fit two abe’s end to end in that gap.
anyway, the reason i’m convinced it has something to do with the natural forces of the earth and not bad parking, the cops never mess with these cars. they roll right on by without a second thought as if they know that stopping to rebuke the driver/parker will only suck them into whatever unhuman vortex of parking chaos rules the east end of country club plaza.
that’s why i only visit those parts. the west side is much less prone to such anomalies…and cap grill-goers wouldn’t be caught dead parking their own cars.
