November 8-Parking Rage

Ok, I don't want to get all negative on this blog since it is for Annika, but this guy took up two parking spaces. I pulled in behind him while he was parking and asked him to move forward. He told me there wasn't enough room. Normally I wouldn't care, but there is hardly any parking on my street and this spot was right in front of my apartment. Annika weighs almost 15 pounds now and she was asleep in her car seat. I didn't want to have to haul her half a block and really just wanted to park in front of my apartment in the spot that was available. So here are some photos of the parking space. And also, there are always two cars parked in that spot, that's why there are two grease spots!





Then I noticed that he went into the house where there is a mini van parked. This van has been taking up two spots for the last year and has never moved--there are leaves piled up around the tires. And the tabs are expired! It's super frustrating when it's street sweeping day and I have to find a spot to park and that van is taking up two spots and the van isn't even used. I've been planning to report it to the police for a long time, especially since the tabs are expired. But I always wimped out. Then yesterday when I saw the guy walk into that house, I channeled my inner-Konami and called the police. It felt so good!
