Something That has Frustrated me Lately

Parking right next to the line within a parking spot.... Stupid thing to be bothered by, I know. To be honest, a single car parked right next to the line doesn't actually bother me all that much. It's when two cars are parked right next to the line with an empty spot between them, that's when it's like... really? Sure I can park within the parking spot, but how is anyone supposed to get out of the freaking car? I know. It's not like the driver knew the other car was close to the line when they parked... but still! I for sure am not the best car-parker and I'm sure that I have been guilty of this too. I am trying to do better though.
What's more frustrating than two cars parked close to the painted line with little room for a car to park between and have the ability to open the door? A car that is parked on or over the line! Because then that is just plain rude. At that point, the vehicle is consuming one spot and part of another perfectly good parking spot that could have fit another car in it. When this happens, that means if I want to park in the spot, I either don't have room to park the car or I might not be able to open my door. I mean, yeah, I could probably squeeze myself out of the door, but it becomes nearly impossible to get my toddler, "A," out of his car seat and out of the car. Sometimes I'm just not sure if people park that way because they simply don't care that other people need somewhere to park too, or if they truly lack the skill necessary to park within the two lines.
So anyway, if you park your car as mentioned above, just know I forgive you. It may be frustrating to me in the moment, but I won't hold a grudge. None of us are perfect and if lack of parking skills is your biggest flaw, then I'd say that you are doing great. I'm sure there are plenty of things that I do that others find frustrating about me.
