So where I live, huge apartment
complex, about 425 units. Each has its own assigned parking space plus there
are some open spaces for guest parking and, of course, about a million prime
real estate spaces designated for disabled drivers. My favorite open parking
space (my assigned one is yucky) is close to the nearest entrance to my unit.
It is also close to an elevator. This may explain its popularity because
finding it available when I come home was pretty hit or miss but, for the most
part, I got it. That was until about two months ago, when this cobalt blue PT
Cruiser started parking there ALL THE TIME. Saw the owners once, a couple in
their early 60s, maybe. Saw their designated space once too (on a rare occasion
they were actually parked in it), not far from this space, which makes this
extra annoying because it is not like their space is way over the other side of
the building like mine is. To make matters worse, about a month ago, the car
shows up with a disabled license plate. Which means they can now park in any of
the two million disabled spaces. But do they? No. Fuck that. You can park
ANYWHERE and yet you park in my favorite space all the time. Petty, I know, but
when your life is as empty as mine, having your favorite parking space taken
all the time by a COUPLE who can park ANYWHERE is a big deal. And, boo-hoo, if
you do not get your favorite parking space, you still have EACH OTHER. If I
don’t get my favorite parking space, not only do I not have my favorite parking
space I am also ALONE.
I'm sensing an "alone" theme to your last few blogs. What's up with that? ;o)

Just sick of couples at the moment.
DeleteLiesl, I noticed that too. Michelle, just load up on a bunch of movies where the couple is bitterly unhappy--maybe that will help!
