Dont let the other guy make you look like the dick. This goes along with entire package of Parking Etiquette. Has this ever happened to you? Youre cruising down the street looking for a parking space. Ahaha! Theres one! But the guy already there did a half assed job of lining up his car to the meter. Hes taking up almost two spaces with barely enough space left to get you in and the rest of the street is crammed full. WHAT do you do? If you paid attention in Drivers Ed, or lived in a place where parallel parking is a matter of survival, you may have the skill, or power steering to maneuver your vehicle miraculously into the slot. Exiting the car with stadiums of imaginary fans cheering, throwing flowers and applauding your tactical driving skill, you hesitate to raise your arms to the masses like the gladiator as you confidently walk from your glorious victory into your domain. But every action has its equal and opposite reaction. Eventually the dick who parked like a jackass to begin with will leave, destroying any evidence of his chicanery. Nothing left but the empty space in front of, or behind your car; which of course is not aligned properly within the space due to the chain reaction started by the initial dick. And now when people come cruising down the street looking for a parking space, its YOUR car thats out of place and now YOU look like the dick. If you notice it and have a minute to jump in your car and move it a few feet for the benefit of the many, then go ahead and do your good deed for the day. The rest of the tenants on the block will thank you for your consideration. If you dont come from a huge city you wouldnt understand the anal retentive parking trauma that comes with your urban behavioral conditioning. Whats the first thing that comes to mind whenever you go to the big city for anything?
