Cars are not for the timid.

The situation had materially changed and there was now a clear solution where we both got what we wanted and I didn't have to fight a 60 year old man.

Another grand why driving is horrible experience today.
At the supermarket parking is full. Eventually I find a space squeezed between two posh cars who have parked terribly off centre.
I spend 5 minutes going in and out trying to fit without hitting them. Eventually make it and have to climb out the passenger side door to get out.

Then from the driver side car some awful woman finally decides to make herself known to say I can't park there as its blocking her husband from getting in.
Like.
Couldnt you have told me this earlier. FFS

Woa woa hold your horses. Are you using a car to SHOP?! How does THAT fit with your desire to rob everyone the use of their car?

[Tamas]

So? She can pull out and he get in once she's done so.

Indeed. If you were in a legit parking spot, the dimensions of their car and its unpracticality in an urban setting should be none of your concern.

You mean THEY got what they wanted, zero inconvenience by inconveniencing you.

[Eddie Teach]

Well, he did get rid of them.

Only slightly. Possibly net gain as my car wasn't smashed up.
Letting someone out is just good manners. Quite a different thing to not taking a parking space some inconsiderate person has made hard to use.
Also I guess that this guy was married to the woman made me sympathetic to him.

It greatly informs my knowledge of the current shittiness of the car centric country and makes me dream of a day when it is no longer such a necessity for so many people.

The nice thing about the car is you can do a couple weeks worth of shopping all at once. Have fun lugging all that stuff on the bus.

Why would you want to do that?
After the first few days you'll be eating nothing but tinned food.

I would not have moved my car one mm. What did you do?

I said she could have told me she was there earlier and it was her fault as she parked horribly... but then the husband showed up quite awkwardly so I moved so they could leave.

I would have done the same under those circumstances.

I get those big grocery sprees delivered. Otherwise, I stop at the grocery on my way home and buy what I am going to cook in the evening. It fits in a single bag.

Do jews tell boring rambling stories about the Holocaust at family gatherings?

You joke.
But car based society certainly didn't help my chances of getting one.
