Parking Spaces & Crossing Places
| 11.05.2004
Ever notice that almost every time you enter a parking garage looking for a space, you always manage to get stuck behind some silly car that’s constantly pumping their brake lights, waiting for and following people to their cars? You would pass but their isn’t enough room. You could beep but then you look like an over aggressive driver. And like me, you would leave but there isn’t enough room for a U-turn. So I was stuck behind this person the other day at the Galleria Mall. Once again, they were pumping their brakes and waiting for someone to emerge so they could follow them to their car. Maybe it’s me, but wouldn’t it be a whole lot quicker if we just all drove and parked in the nearest unoccupied space and got on with our errands?
You’re trying to cross a busy street to get coffee or hit a bank machine. In typical New England style, people would rather hit you then let you safely pass. So you carefully eye the oncoming traffic waiting for the right rhythm and pattern in the sea of cars. Finally, you see a hole and start pacing your steps to be perfectly in sync so the car barely misses sideswiping you. But out of nowhere, the car decides it would be safer screeching to a halt and causing a pile up. I don’t get it. They had no intention of letting you pass but when you discover a work-around, they decide to be the hero and let you cross. I usually step back to the curb and start all over again.
