    Way too much effort for so little gain

    So...I was driving back to the office, and just before a red light, I'm a few cars back next to a restaurant on the corner. Said restaurant has a tiny little parking lot, and you can only leave it by backing out into the street. Naturally, someone was doing so -- thus, I got to wait at the now-green light as they pulled out, moved forward just a few feet, and pulled right back into the lot, into a parking space maybe 3 sports over from where they had been. In fact, it was *further* from the door than the original one was

    Kinda made my brain go *FZZT*

      Probably thought the first spot was too small. People have no spacial awareness. Every day as I drive to school I'm all the way over to my side, and some idiot is driving right down the center of the street. If they try to move over, they're clearly TERRIFIED of the cars parked on the street. It's as if they are repelled by magnets.

        My brother always said, if you're afraid to drive, don't.

          Sound advice, MoonCat.
          I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

            Oh, heavens yes, to the point of forgetting that in the US and other places where one drives on the right-hand side of the road, the double-yellow line should always be on your left. On your left, dammit!

              In all fairness, dale, it was a place that markets itself as a sports bar/restaurant. Not saying it IS one, but the owners market it that way. ^_^;>
