I would like to have a long conversation with whoever decided parallel parking should be normal.

@wallhackio i think weekly street cleaning on diffurent schedules depending on the side of the street is the worse culprit here

@wallhackio Do you think you can land your message in one smooth movement, or do you think it's going to be a lot of back and forth before you're happy?

@wallhackio no one decided that its the inevitable consequence of trying to stick cars on streets designed for horses

@Satsuma @wallhackio People should just tie their cars up at the hitching post, I don't know what all this business about parallelism is.

@wallhackio @aschmitz well you see the cars are both larger and wider than horses so fitting one into the same amount of space requires a much more specific orientation

@Satsuma I would like to have a long conversation with God for designing horses to be much skinnier than cars

@aescling @Satsuma I'm not sure if you understood what the silly toot was trying to say. That is, if horses were as wide as cars then the streets would be comfortably sized for cars and driving around here wouldn't make me stressed af

@wallhackio @aescling @Satsuma Just be glad you're not in Europe, then. (Or go drive around Greece some time.)

@wallhackio @Satsuma i know you want to not pay fur public transit but i think you are going to quickly learn why i not infrequently use it

@wallhackio i mean, motorcycles do exist so its clear cars dont *have* to be like that

@Satsuma @wallhackio I wonder if one of the Smart cars could treat parallel parking as perpendicular parking. Probably not quite?
