so while waiting for lunch to be ready today, by the cigar store where my mom works, I witness the following.
a parking spot big enough for a car to be pushed in sideways, but not really to drive into. So these 2 ladies decide to do it anyway. First try, it's obvious to me that the car isn't going to get in, but she keeps backing up anyway, and eventually hits the van behind her. Not hard, but makes contact. So she pulls forward, but can only go about 6 inches, there's really not much room here, then starts backing up again, hitting the van, again. There is someone in the backseat of the van who is at this point honking madly at the crazy parallel parker. Said parker pulls forward again, and yes, you guessed it, backs up again, hitting the van a 3rd time. Now the van owner is waving wildly and honking. The woman pulls the car forward again and parks it, gets out with her friend, sort of nods at the woman in the van, then goes on her way. Doesn't look to see if there's any damage. From inside the restaurant it looked ok, but I'm pretty sure I'd be checking. Anyway, the whole time I'm half laughing but half hoping the van lady doesn't pull out her rifle and shoot this idiot driver. She didn't, thankfully.


on a completely unrelated note, ever wonder what fun things you can spell with your phone number? I can't spell crap with my home phone, cause there are two 0's in it, but my cell phone is kind of fun. Try it out.
