Title: Why is it...?
Post by Vulcan on Oct 16^th, 2004, 12:36am

I went for a chinese (thats food not...err whatever) and parked my baby right outside... during the time I was in there I saw 4 people narrowly miss hitting the Scorp while trying to park.. it wasn't that hard to park as it is a fairly straight piece of road but they seem to want to reverse up to 2mm away before stopping then do 18 more ins and out before stopping..... fer god's sake!! learn to drive yer vehicle.. it ain't rocket science and if you do it every day you get better at it...arrrggh

I flippin' despair!!! why can't the great unwashed grasp the simplest of tasks? parking.... is it THAT difficult?

'OD'ed on MSG? ;D ;D

Carpark watching is fun where I work - we can see down on to it, nothing against lady drivers - but they seem to be the worst at reversing, and the guys leave no room to get in an out unless you adopt the Dukes of Hazard style!!

Hehehe.. sorry guys... I just got a bit worked up. ;D
One person finding it hard to do I could have understood but everyone who turned up being unable to manouvre all the while putting the bodywork of my beast at risk and I was on tenterhooks. It's the first time I've had the opportunity to watch the car from a window while it was parked and the stupidity of ALL the other drivers just astounded me. :D :D

And then of course we have the clods who park diagonally across 2 spaces or manouvre into the middle of 2 roadside spots or use your car as a door stop or........... AAAAARRRGGGHHH!
