Where never Lark, or even Eagle flew
11 July 2006
Heh, despite the slight anger that I had when I was told (no, ordered!) to work this evening in a short notice of 2 hrs, at least tonight was quite happening.
First, I saw a freaking accident. Guy A who drove a white car(white cars are driven by incompetent people, proven statistic), whilst parking scratched a black, parked subaru. So me, being the keh poh that I am, went to look see! (Immediate thought: Hmm, shall pose as subaru owner and demand for $500 for paint job!) I walked over, ostentatiously in front of Guy A's car, only to discover that there was someone in the black car! Damn, there goes the $500! Alright, since there was someone in there already, obviously there was no need for me. So I went back to the store and minded my own business. (Best part: girl in black car continued sitting in black car after the car was scratched.) Luckily, they manage to find Guy A in the end. Quoted from Guy A, "Sigh, my car also kenna scratched. you think I wanted this to happen meh?" Tsk tsk, cannot park properly don't blame other people lah!
And more on parallel parking, I was made to wait by some incompetent P-plate driver! Wah piang. IF YOUR STARTING POSITION IS LOUSY AND YOU CANT GET YOUR CAR'S BUTT IN, THEN DRIVE OUT AND TRY AGAIN! AND NOT REVERSE, GO FORWARD, REVERSE, GO FORWARD, REVERSE, GO FORWARD!!!!! I tell you, if not for his bloody P-plate, I would have horned already lah!! Give you the time to try FOUR times still not enough?!!! I really wonder how these people pass their driving tests.. If you cant park parallel, don't park parallel. Tsk tsk.. It was only after a double-tap on the horn that above-mentioned driver, definately embaressed, moved off and went one circle to try again. Heh, best part: We saw him trying to park at the same lot after we've parked. (take note:trying) He ultimately failed as we didnt see his car when we walked back. What a lousy driver.
As I said to David, the road is not the place to learn how to park. Go learn how to park properly in the circuit, and not waste people's time! No Poles is a lousy excuse. Do what I did, tell your instructor (whom u're bloody paying anyway) to teach you how to park WITHOUT the poles. And learn how to park properly(without poles) IN THE CIRCUIT. But whatever you do, do NOT EVER, be like Guy A and scratch other people's car.
