People in Seattle can't Park
I left my house last night around 11:30 p.m.. I walked outside and someone had parked in front of my truck but had backed up so that their vehicle (SUV) was parked on top of my truck.
I said,"they parked on my truck," outloud. It just so happens that the guy who parked the vehicle walked by.
He heard my comment and said," No, it is just parked against it."
I walked around my vehicle, opened up the door, and grabbed my 6 d-cell Maglite out and shined it on the area where his vehicle was on top of mine.
"NO, your vehicle is on top of mine."
"That is how people park in this neighborhood," he said.
That just riled me up. I will not relate the rest of the conversation but I tried to be cool about it but come on. He was totally in the wrong. Not only was he parked past a sign that said no parking east of the sign (he was parked east of the sign) but he backed up onto my vehicle. Trying to say it was just a bump was ridiculous. What really annoys me was that I would not have seen the guy to say anything if I had stepped outside a minute or two later. Plus, a couple months ago, someone else caused damage to the front of my truck in the same manner. They had backed into my vehicle while it was parked. To have two different vehicles do that to my truck is just downright annoying. And of course, neither one of them left a note.
I really need to get a parking space. I barely drive and to be able to have a place to park off the street would be nice.
