Trifecta

At first I thought I got blocked in by the Ford F1 50. Turns out the guy in the Toyota next to him parked badly too. Upshot: I'm the only one who can't move out of his parking space. #theworldisinteractive

It's okay I'm driving a Mercedes

Parked in the red and facing the wrong way. Mercedes privilege at its worst.

Cranky A$$#0|€$

So I have been helping some theatre folks with marketing and PR for a play. One of the people associated with this play went smooth off on one if the producers in an email.

You know, yelling. LIKE THIS!!! Being generally deragatory and demeaning. Being just like that thing we all have...

Come to find out it's a person who ranks below the producer. Someone I'd be in a position to hire when I produce a play again. Of course, why in the world would I hire a cranky @$$#0|€ like that?

The answer is, I wouldn't.

Please remember to be nice always. You never know who's standing on that bridge you're burning.

There were plenty of spots

Why. Why would you park your car inside a simulated island? What's a simulated Island?

Glad you asked. A simulated island is a place where it is totally illegal to park or drive, as if the city erected a cement berm or island instead of painting one on. The person who owns this car drove into and parked on the simulated Island.

Thirty feet away, there were no fewer than seven parking spaces empty. But none as close to the pizza restaurant…

Hey simulated Island parker: if it's not worth walking 30 feet for, it's not real pizza. Also, if you walked a little bit more... Oh never mind.

Have one don't be one.

So many things

There are so many things wrong with this photo. This was taken at my favorite beach, La Jolla Shores Beach. The automobile you see "parked" here is in the wrong for so many reasons…

First it's three minute parking and I was there for at least that long. You'll notice the white curb only fits two cars. Our friend here decided to park so as to take up both spaces.

Also the car is farther than 18 inches away from the curb meaning people coming around the corner from the parking lot have to take evasive action. 

Douche times three.

Not Exactly

In the world of parking, there are parking spaces and not exactly...

Not a shred

I took this at a stop light. Later, when I passed this truck, made by a company headquartered close to China, I looked at the driver. I could not discern one shred of irony in his countenance.
