Mom had some errands to do for the family she works for and picked me up to help; while going through town we stopped at out usual coffee haunt. It's at the intersection of the main street as well as a smaller one-way street (one way from the major street) that has about four loading areas backing up to it. No standing on the main street so mom turns the corner with the intent of dropping me off to get coffees and finding a parking space further down.
A woman in a monster SUV comes up the wrong way (honking at two legally-parked trucks and almost hitting us) and parks right on the corner (blocking half the lane on the main street); she gets out and toddles across the street. Goes into the shoe store.
After finding a parking spot, mom sees a metermaid walking up toward the main street and waves her down.
Mom: Hi <name>, You might want to ticket a silver Escalade parked right smack at the corner up there; she's blocking half the lane and came flying up this street the wrong way to boot. I think her big emergency was in the shoe store.
Metermaid: Thanks, I thought I saw her doing something funny but wasn't sure.

Your mum is seriously cool. Please pass on my admiration
