Dear person responsible for measuring lines in a recently repaved parking lot:
WTF? Not everybody owns a Mini. Some people own vehicles wider than 4 feet across. How the hell am I supposed to park in these teensy spaces? —Wide Load

  2. Dartmouth Crossing sucks for that too… I suspect they’re trying to get maximum capacity for shopping centers…

  4. You talk about the Tiger a lot – Is it because it’s the only place in your hood – or do you actually like it there? Reminds me of Biway…

  6. When I come across those tiny parking spots OB…I put the centre of my truck right on top of a line.
    Then there’s lots of room.

  8. This seems to be the new wave; Chapters and Zellers did it years ago, but I just noticed this yesterday in The Crossing, too. And REALLY narrow, so I was forced to use 2 spots. Not sure the intent… if the managers are trying to get us to buy smaller cars, they can lick my anus while I take 2 spots… What’s next, locking the doors???

  12. They did that in the visitor parking spots at my apt building. Made 9 spots where there used to only be 8. It’s total BS.

  14. Man, the lesson in parking like that wasn’t standard in my drivers ed class. But that was about a decade ago. Maybe they’re teaching the youngsters new tricks these days. They sure as hell aren’t teaching them how to swivel their damn heads.

  19. I’M PREGNANT!

    HAHA no, not really (and judging by the three drinks I had yesterday, my baby’s brain would be mush right now). No, PK never actually bothered getting her driver’s license. PK IS NOT LEGALLY ENTITLED TO OPERATE A MOTOR VEHICLE. Which is wack because her father said he’d buy her a car if she learns. And pay for driver’s ed.

    Anti climatic secret, eh?
