people nowadays



You know what's annoying nowadays? The fact that people seemingly can't park anymore. Right now, I drive a 2000 camry to South P every day. I've been driving that for the past 3 years and parking at South P. I must have over 50 different dents on my car, all around the car door area from people opening their doors and hitting my car. I guess when someone has an old car and doesnt care about it, then they don't take any precaution when it comes to opening their doors onto other cars. It's pretty annoying.

The reason I chose to blog about this is because yesterday when I came back to my car after finishing class and getting ready to go back home, I saw that my car had a new dent, but this time it was noticeably bigger than the rest. Of course, I have no idea who did this. But I remember that when I parked there earlier that morning, there was a really old car parked next to me. I didn't think anything of it, but in hindsight I probably should have moved my car out of the way. I guess I have no one to blame but myself for putting myself in that situation.

But seriously, it's common courtesy to not park that close to someone that you cant open your door without hitting them. And if you find that you are close to someone and cant avoid it, theres always a way to get out of the car without hitting the one next to you. It seems that people (students) are so caught up in other things (like school, tests, jobs, etc.) that they can't remember to employ some common courtesy to their fellow drivers. No wonder my parents always told to hold off on getting a new car until I finish college.
