Parking Woes

Today, on my way to Gail's house, I noticed this car on Highway 35 and Junipero Serra Blvd. Driving very slow so I passed the car up not thinking anything of it. So I park on the street at Gail's house and the same slow car that I saw passes by me (slowly as you may have guessed) and begins to park. I saw begins.

The lady attempts to park against the curb as I have done. Now mind you not parallel parking, just normal pull your car to the curb, turn your wheels, turn off your car, your done deal. I watch as She pulls in. I thought she was a pro at first because she got the distance to the curb down to about 1". And that would have been it. But no she Turns her wheel and backs up to rest hubcap on the sidewalk. I said a grueling "ohhh."

She gets out of the car. And I swear she was talking to herself in the reflection on the car window, criticizing her parking job. She gets back in, pulls forward a little with out turning the wheel and backs up again to the same spot she was before... She get out again and talks to her self again. Once again gets back in her car, this time pulling forward and turning the wheel. And gets distance from the curb. She parks half way done. (I say halfway because now the front of her car is at a weird angle and pointing into the street. She checks it over and begins to load her groceries out of the car. "OK I guess she is done." I think. She finishes up with the groceries, gets back into the car fixes her parking angle and seems to be done. She gets out again checks her parking again... And gets in again and moves her car back as I guess she was blocking the driveway in front of her.

It was a very interesting parking day in her life at least. I was just watching the whole time with my mouth open like "oh wow".

Here are some pics...
