Parallel

West Hollywood

Dear Silver Mercedes SUV trying to parallel park on Fountain Avenue during the morning commute,

I, unlike most people in this city, acknowledge that parking here is difficult so I try to always give space and time to those attempting to do so on a busy street - in turn, I expect you to hold up your end of the deal and actually be able to parallel park in under five minutes.  I know everybody has "off" days which is why I restrained from honking my horn, but secretly, on the inside, I was giving you the finger.  I hope both of our days only go up from here.

Beep Beep!

Impala

Beverly Hills During Rush Hour

Dear Angry Man in the black Chevy Impala on Santa Monica Boulevard,

I appreciate the fact that you didn't rear end me, but you anger scared me.  You should know that although I don't make traffic laws nor enforce them, I do however abide by them.  You finger pointing/wagging/flipping was completely uncalled for.  I hope you enjoyed your takeout dinner that, as you so kindly tried to show me, ended up on the floor while you were not paying attention to the rules of the road.

Drive Friendly!
