Gershon I have many fond memories lol. Especially in Rochester NY. I think I have seen it all. When I took my CDL class A License test. I had to drive to Buffalo NY with six other guys from my class. I had to park a 53 ft trailer at least a foot from the curb talk about being nervous. I got lucky I guess the other guys failed I passed but it was a long ride home felt bad for the other guys. In my younger years I did this. I have a lot of respect for these drivers being away from home and dealing

with the public driving. I did it for a short while excellent money but dangerous in the winter months and the big cities finding the locations and backing up in traffic a nightmare in the making my friend...

You kill me GW! Even your titles are superb! Where I live there is plenty of parking as most sane people are leaving California! One day Newsom will mandate…NO Breathing, he’s a Mandate Madman. Chicago was hard to park in when I left 40 years ago! In a Fiat? Can’t imagine it now, Huggs, Pangie

Ha, ha! Of course, if you ever get a parking space, then they steal your catalytic converter. Can't win!

What turns my hair gray, is people who won’t reverse into a parking bay but still can’t get in forward… and then can’t get out. Normally leaves me aghast, but a couple of weeks ago I watched a very elderly lady try to get her very small car into a pretty large gap. It was a most entertaining ten minutes, of which I watched all ten, BEFORE SHE GAVE UP! Enjoyed this, GW. Terry

Your hair would turn gray if you saw me trying to parallel park :)

Sounds like the gray hairs (those infiltrators!) I have recently gotten might turn a ghostly shade of white!! lol. Try 'nonpareil parking!' Smiles, gw

Ha! I can relate! At least you don’t have to keep switching from one side of the street to the other (our “alternate side parking”) - or do you?

Oh, but we DO have to switch from one side of the street to the other (although on consecutive days, as opposed to on the same day). We ain't called the 'Second City' for nothing. We take all of NY's bad ideas and implement them here. lol. ~ Toddlin' down in my Toddlin' Town

A scientist named 'Fauci' has found a direct correlation between Parking Woes and Gray Hair. And I 'proudly' 'follow the science.' lol. Thanks, Line

In a parking garage with an 8’ bed truck You just go to the roof or you’re out of luck

Oh, I can believe that, gw. I've started to park in what I thought was a blank spot many times lately to see that it is reserved for this, that, and the other. Frustrating.
