So when I got home last
Friday the parking space hoggers were in my favorite space. Big surprise. But,
later that evening, on a rare trash run (Fridays I usually stay in once I am
in, but my trash was particularly smelly that night) I saw that they had left
and that the space was available. So I ran back to my apartment, got my car
keys and moved into the now free space! Tee-hee. On Saturday, when I got back
from running errands, they had moved back into the space. That night, this time
on a mail run, I saw that the space was free again (they go out a lot - I once
saw them go into the casino next door, so I bet (ha!) they go there to take
advantage of all the old codgers’ deals). So, despite the couple glasses of
wine I’d had, I got my car keys and moved into the space. I am militantly
anti-drinking and driving so this was a huge deal for me, but I handled the 200-yard
drive just fine. And that is when it hit me – this is my new hobby. I have been
looking for a pastime and now I have found it – on the nights I don’t get my
space, I will leave my apartment at least once an evening and check to see if
the space-hoggers have gone out for their senior-discount dinner and, if they
have, I will move my car into the space!!! And what a perfect hobby too - it involves
physical activity, is relatively cheap (I won’t use up that much gas), it gets
me out of the house and all that extra time in the car will only increase my
driving skills and confidence level!
Yes, if you could only use your powers for good instead of evil...

Maybe they'll get tired of it and just park in their spot or the handicapped spots. Of course, it could be they like the game as well as you.
At least you are exercising.

Liesl, OMG, you are so much more well spoken than I am--these are exactly my thoughts, but I wasn't having any luck putting them into words.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, way to see the glass half full! ;-)
