offcntrI don't get it sometimes. You think they'd pay attention to their surroundings. But no...
There's a vendor at Market, I think she's fairly new, but she's been selling on our block in various spaces--including mine, Anacortes weekend--all summer. So when she brought her car down to load out and parallel parked in front of Jim's booth, I went out and asked her if she could reverse angle park like the rest of us; it allows twice as many vehicles at the curb for load-out. Oh, there's plenty of room for him, she pointed to Ed, parking his big red truck behind her. Yes, but Chere's also gone for her truck, and if you angle parked, there'd be room for her, too. Kate pipes up, And I'm parked right across the street; I want to back up to my booth as well.
Fine, she grumps, I'll pull forward. So she pulls forward to the base of the stairs and stops. Still parallel parked.
