I'd like to meet:

i've been known for my horrible car parking skills (except for those slanted parking spaces...those are easy). i am that person you see pull into a spot and then repeatedly reverse and pull back in attempting to to straighten out...then i get out of the car to see that it is still crooked or even worse that it was when i first pulled in (no, i do not leave it that way). i have hit curbs and even swiped a car trying to park. i will ask you "am in in the lines?" and have been asked "do you want to get out and let me do it?" parking lots put me into a bad mood. if it takes to long to find a parking spot that i can pull into without having trouble...hell, if it takes too long to find a spot at all, i will drive home.
if you can teach me how to parallel park, i would like to meet you.
