Frustration

I finally lost my cool last night. The bf took me out for a lovely dinner at a sushi restaurant and treated me to shrimp tempura and three different types of sushi and some sake. It was great and even the parking ordeal was easy. There was a garage nearby that charged zip for the first hour and then just 50 cents per hour after that. I was in a good mood.

After dinner, we paid and walked out to the parking garage. I was parked in a corner spot in a parallel style right where the garage made a left turn to continue upwards. A spot that had been empty in front of me now had a large, expensive looking black luxury car in it. The black car was parked in its spot in a way that made it clear the person hadn't cared enough to fix it after initially pulling in. It was literally about a foot and a half hanging out of the lines on its left side, and these spots were pretty generous.

Getting out of my spot should've been really fucking easy. There was a no parking zone directly in front of me, so there was room there, and normally someone in my spot would only have to turn left and they'd glide right out. Instead, I had to maneuver a 20-point turn because some bastard thought it'd be cool to park in the middle of the goddamn lane on an angle. Awesome. Starting to get annoyed that I had to nearly scrape my rear end on the cement wall of the garage just to leave, I put the car in park and ripped out my school notebook, taking out a loose sheet and scrawling, "You park like an Idiot" across it. I slapped it on their windshield, finished the last 3 bits of my 20-point turn, and left.

Honestly, I'm embarrassed that I kind of suck at parallel parking. I will sit in my car perfecting it for 15 minutes if I have to because parking shittily not only makes you look incompetent, but screws up everyone else who has parked near you. The spot these people were in had ample space to move around in to get closer to the wall. They just put in zero effort and I'm sick of these people. Now, I don't love confrontation and even just leaving a note makes me feel kinda crappy, but for chrissakes, try to be a more considerate person, that's all.
