Hey she backed it in
to her.
I think she was working on the weight loss...
I think she was working on the weight loss...
+1How she parked is totally acceptable. Obviously you are unaware of how a woman thinks. She was thinking "I'll park over here, in case someone needs to take the car out."
See, us woman are always thinking... "What if...."
Don't you dare come ask me to move the car at 5AM in the morning when you are leaving!! (I've had this situation in my house more than once)
I call B.S.!

Between the request and the result, she accomplished zero, zip, and nada. (as far as any man is concerned)Going out of town and asked the wife to park in the driveway so I could take items out of one car and put in another (switching vehicles).
Just curious... would any of you parked it any different
She could have left the vehicle in the garage and it would have been the exact same situation only covered and facing the other direction - distance would not have changed. Only by moving into the driveway AND behind the car with an allotted amount of room to move would something have been accomplished.
Besides, even though the task probably would have taken any guy 30 generous seconds, I would guess it took her about 15 minutes. Think about it. This is the task you gave her:
1. Find the damned car keys. (4.5 minutes)
2. Grab her purse because she'll need to use a large section of street directly in front of the house or go around the block to set up the angle, thus she'll need her license. Fortunately, women almost always know where their purse is. (30 seconds)
3. Get into SUV... and answer phone. It's Betty. Stare at blank garage wall and start SUV. Open garage with opener. Sit in garage idling while chatting with Betty. (6.33 minutes)
4. Realize you can back out one handed while still yapping with BFF Betty. Slowly apply gas. Whoops. Did Snap see that?! Okay... put it into reverse THEN slowly apply gas. Careful with the mirrors. (1.25 minutes)
5. Hang up with Betty before backing out of driveway. Concentration is vital! Say the good-byes. Laugh. No, really, she tells Betty she has to go. Laugh some more. (What's she laughing at? The gas she's burning through?) Seriously, woman, Betty plus phone equals bad. Finally, hang up as internal dialog convinces her that she should hang up. (2.75 minutes)
6. Back out into street facing the absolutely wrong direction. Oh well. Around the block she proceeds. (15 seconds - women have a knack for wasting no time becoming directionally challenged)
7. Oh wait! She forgot to tell Betty something. Rummage through purse while barely able to see over the dashboard. Driving with one hand and fighting against gravity while holding herself up she finally finds her phone. (1 minute)
8. Yap with Betty some more. Realize she missed her turn while getting the phone. Oh well. More pleasantries with BFF ensue before hanging up again. All the while, she's been driving away from the house but hasn't made a single turn. (3 minutes)
9. Attempt to turn around to head back to the house. Oh, she likes those Christmas lights! Hmmm where is she? If she turns right at the next stop sign she... should... hmmm no that's not the right street.
10. Keep driving and get extremely lucky. The street she chose wound around and ultimately teed into the street the house is on. With a fifty-fifty shot at picking the correct direction to turn, she again gets lucky. Why hasn't she ever noticed that street before? Look back in mirrors and try to decipher street name so she can take Snap to see the lights she liked so much. (4.6 minutes)
11. Avoid child and rolling ball!?!!!?! (5 seconds)
12. Arrive at the house and pull into driveway. (15 seconds)
13. Walk inside and lay purse down. Remember that Snap asked her to back SUV into driveway. (30 seconds)
14. Go back outside and pull the SUV out of driveway. Do a miraculous three point turn. Ease SUV back into driveway perfectly aligned with garage on "her" side. (45 seconds)
15. What is he complaining about now? What side was she supposed to park on? That would have blocked the car in. He's an idiot. She should take a bath and get away from this jerk.
16. He took more time posting this thread than it would have taken him to move the SUV. Yep, she's off to the bubble bath.
There ya have it. That final item. You know, number sixteen. She wins and he just wasted her time. Give her a break.

LOL that was funny but i guess she was like switch it then you can roll out so she wont have to move it twice. Of course i would never apply this logic in MY household and would have put up the same post as you did.
