Wow. Some ppl really amaze me.

Comment Published at 14:4314:438 comments8 comments58 Visits58 VisitsReport
Sometimes I really wonder how on earth people get their licenses from. I was leaving my sons school this morning and walking down to my car when I see this woman parallel park behind me. She was like a meter and a half out from the kerb, the centre of her car lined up with the drivers side of my car if that makes sense, that was how far out she was. Im like whoa great parking lol (coz u know Im a professional (p-plater) and I can do it better! Anyway she had like 7 attempts to fix it up and by this stage Im thinking jesus why not just give up and park somewhere else? The car in front of me was so close I think there was like a 1foot gap between me and him and we were parked on a steep hill so Im like hmm I'll just sit here a bit and wait for her to park. 10 minutes later she gets out of the car and goes "its too close". Im like 'Um yeah!' She looks at the car in front of me and goes can you get out? Im like 'I doubt it theres half a foot of room behind me from where youve parked and one foot in front of me, plus its raining and on a steep hill. You wanna move back a bit?' She goes 'I cant its too slippery.' Im like 'is it an auto or a manual?' she goes 'auto'. The look of bewilderment on my face must have been priceless. So I asked her if she wanted me to move it back a bit for her so I could get out and she saw the P plates and shes like no no no Im thinkin fmd woman Ive been driving for a year and I could get that thing to move back, whats your excuse? So she flat out refused to try again to move her car back so I could get out and forced me to move with this tiny little gap. I was sooooooo p****d off. How freakin hard is it for cryin out loud? Im really starting to think that they must give out licences in cereal boxes overseas. Ugh!!!

Hi

I would rather park a giant 4wd in a tiny space than park a small car in a large space.

If she was parked too close to you and not in her own park i would have called the parkiing inspectors and the police lol

Least get her a fine for being so rude if nothing else.

Good on you for getting your car out safely.  Although i must admit i would have been sorely tempted to move her car myself with a bull bar hehehehe

Luv Deb

I wonder that too at times.  I think there is a toy company somewhere that gives out licenses, lol....Here we have people who are just like, "hello?  Aren't you looking where you going?"  Poor thing...take it easy

Re: Wow. Some ppl really amaze me.

PMSL my grandmother can't park properly either and i dunno why she still has her license because she relies on me when with her, to watch for cars when backing out haha!
But i also hate the d***heads who dont park in the lines OR you just park and then come out to get in your car and they have parked sooooo close that you barely have enough room to get in the car - let alone open the door to be able to get in!

I don't have my "LOSER" (L plates) yet but i know how to drive haha

Re: Wow. Some ppl really amaze me.

When i was in Sydney, i was only used to parallel parking. So when i moved to the country my first go, and second and third and so on and so on at 45deg angle (backwards) parking had my Dad in stitches! I could not for the life of me park inbetween the bloody lines!!

I guess some people just find some things harder than others!

Re: Wow. Some ppl really amaze me.

HI,I can not reverse park and will not even attemp it ,I would have too embarraced to even try it let alone try for 10 mins ,if i cant even get into a regular park on 2nd attempt i go and find another one lol.I dont like ppl staring at me when I am trying to park.Now I own a toyota prado and they are quite big but can park it most of the time with great ease,I one watched a lady trying to park a little hyundi excel which took her about 5 goes but there were about 5 empty spaces about 10 meters away,well dah would you move on 2nd attempt in such a little car.Anyway I know what you are saying there.

I hate reverse parking too. But this wasnt a reverse park, it was a parralel park. Its not hard to fit a car in next to the kerb! Stupid stupid woman lol (not you, her! lol)

Re: Wow. Some ppl really amaze me.

i have a 12 seater toyota commuter bus and find it easy to drive and park and if the parking  space is too small or going to be too difficult to get out of I just look for another one as i dont want to damage anyone elses vehicle...and i am always amazed at how some people got their licences and why they take up so much room on the road in their small cars  ...some people shouldnt be driving!!
