reverse parking...

sooooooo… am I missing something here? why do people reverse park into a parking spot? It doesn’t make your car safer because the mirrors are in the way. you can’t get to your trunk (boot) easily & forget about getting a shopping cart back there without leaving marks on other vehicles. Are they just showing off ?(although my driving instructor told me that I drive better backwards than I do forwards…)

I just googled this & apparently it’s easier especially if you’re driving a big ass truck… well it’s not cool & I for one am not going to park next to any big ass trucks reversed parked again! & this is why…

I had some parcels to drop off at the UPS store ~ one was of significant size & on my back seat. My packages are piled up & as I start to walk away from my car my head is turned to double check I have everything. Then BOOM! I’ve been hit in the side of my head, the impact causes me to drop some of my parcels. did someone punch me? I’m dazed & more confused than normal.

I feel violated, My head hurts, there are a few stars. After composing myself I realize what has happened… When I turned my head I walked straight into the big ass side mirror!

For 2 weeks I have not been able to wear my right earring because my ear torn very slightly & needed to heal.

There was no damage done to said enormous mirror… & yes it was so stinking huge you could probably see it from space & how did I manage to not see it bla bla bla. Whatever!
