The Parking Conundrum

It’s a bane of every four wheel driver. A universal problem that you can never escape. You can go round and round and never find one. And should you find one, as you approach it and it gets taken.

You got to be on time to find a good spot. If you’re late then all the spots are taken, even the not so good ones. And then when you manage to find one, it’s miles away from your destination. Ok, may not be miles but then it’s definitely not quite close to where you want to be. So you need to make it a point that you are on time, or before time  (if that were an option, cause if you can’t be on time, before time is only just a dream). 

At times it feels like a game of musical chairs. You pass a spot, then you have to go all the way around, follow the different lane discipline before getting to the spot. You can’t back peddle to get to the spot, you have to go round and come back to the spot. And then also there is no guarantee that you will get the spot, or if the spot is already taken by the time you get there.

So you can drive for miles and miles searching for one, go round and round and round and still not find one. So in the end you end up spending more than half your time to find a spot. 

Then also you have the problem finding where exactly you parked. And if you are someone with depleting grey matter, or if age is catching up to you, then the very best to you trying to figure out your spot. And again you can spend the same amount of time trying to figure out where you parked as you would trying to find a parking spot.

The four wheelers have it worst than the us two wheeler, or do we both have it bad as each other. But then the four wheelers obviously have it worst, end of discussion. After all you can’t always have a Sheldon’s Spot.

So no matter where you go, you can’t escape the bane of finding a parking space.
