I fair little better at nearby parking lots, the turnover of vehicles heading into and out of the only entrance/exit making manoeuvres all but impossible. And since I’m not sure how well a dented front fender will go down with our genial GM benefactors, I move on.
Mall parking fares little better. There’s plenty of spaces, but I’m much too busy sticking the car’s rear end out on the various up-ramps and slick surfaces, and decide to bail before I attract any more attention.
All hope seems lost until fate plays an ace and I find an on-street spot on a quiet road almost directly opposite my building. Plenty of room and no threat of scuffs, scrapes or dings. Handbrake on, engine off. Eureka!
Shame I’d left my apartment keys at work.
