The trouble with parking

There's a high school about a block away. Kids park all along the streets nearby. I shook my head at seeing someone back into a spot so that the car behind them had, at most, two feet of clearance on both ends of their car. Good luck getting out of that spot.

You know how it is. You park, you go into the store or restaurant or wherever, and your shoulders slump when you come and see that some impossible parking situation has developed. (Click)

[After I took this photo, I laughed when a guy (with his buddies) started to pull his car into the spot to the right of my car. The expressions on their faces...you could tell they were trying to make sense of consequences of parking their car.]
