The Good Parking Spot

Today I got the good parking spot in my parking garage. This has only happened one other time in about five months. It's a big deal. Maybe because I've had a week of bad parking spots? I've had to drive all the way down into the depths of the garage to find middle spots (spots without a concrete pole or support next to them) all week long. This good spot is a single spot with a pole on the left and a wall on the right. But it's bigger than the other spots. And there is less of a chance of someone dinging your car with their car door. 

The other day, I had a stand-off with a person exiting the garage: I was approaching from outside/in the alley and this person in their giant Audi SUV was leaving. The garage gate is the style that opens side to side--almost like an accordion the two doors open up and fold up to the left and right sides. They close automatically after a few seconds so better not get caught between them! Anyway, this Audi was too big for me to pass by so I waited outside of the garage for her to exit. But she didn't! The doors closed. I waited for this driver to open them. Nothing. So I waited some more. Eventually she opened the door and left.

I was giving her the right of way, but she passively sat there ignorant of the fact that I couldn't fit past her in that narrow excuse of a parking garage. 

So yeah, I think I earned some good parking karma. Now I don't even want to use my car because I'll have to give up the spot when I leave :/
