What Better Way to Start the Day?

What better way to start the day than with someone else's drama? Thankfully, we have off-street parking for two cars (four and a motorcycle if you're creative/stupid). To get to this parking, however, one must drive up a one lane alley that is often beset with, depending on the time of day, children on their big wheels and scooters, kids playing football after school, 10-15 guys just hanging out who take an uncomfortably long time to part, only  leave you five inches on either side of your car to pass, and delivery trucks or double parked cars that leave you about an inch of clearance.

This morning, the Mistress and I had to leave for work at the same time, so she offered to drop me off. Unfortunately, we were parked in by a large black pickup truck, pulled right up along our driveway. The driver was a middle aged man, who had just walked across the street and knocked on someone's door. 

Now, I never know what to do in these instances. My instinct is to say something, like "hey, you parked me in, you inconsiderate fuck", but realistically, they know what they did. They see me coming, and so I usually wait passive in my car until they move, which they've always done.

So we get in the car as Truck Guy and Answered The Door guy start talking. Suddenly, it sounds as if Answered The Door guy is yelling, and I think I hear "C'mon man, I got kids." Truck Guy is ignoring him as he walks around to enter his truck. I'm looking over my shoulder at this point and I see Answered The Door guy holding his hand out and yelling "whoa whoa whoa" as Truck Guy starts angrily pulling out, only to get sideswiped by Kid Passing The Road Blocking Truck Guy's Truck. 

And there we were, still waiting to pull out. Awkward!
