Selfish Parking FAIL
I went out today to get a new laptop harddrive (dropping it at cowhouse did manage to kill the old one). As I went searching for parking in Fry's, I discovered the primary part of the parking lot was packed. This wasn't a surprise to me at all. I noticed a silly little GTI taking up two parking spaces. Every space near him was full - he hadn't gone off to his own little part of the lot to "protect" himself. I paused... Did I fit? He was well into the space next to him, but... but... The Miata is small... I pulled forward... I knew I'd be close to his door, but it's a convertible, getting in and out without opening the door is easy... He fit. The car is about 2 inches off the curb. I was somewhat concerned about the owner's reaction if he got back before I did, but I got back before him anyway. The puzzling thing to me, though, was his car was already damaged, and on the side I was on, too.
On the drive home, people were very eager to get out of the left lane in front of me. So far, this has been happening much more for me in Houston than it ever did in Austin. I also noticed a "TRY HIM" license plate. *eyeroll*
