As I got out of my car after a (masterful) parking job the other day, an incredulous pedestrian asked me, "Do you not see the traffic cop across the street?"
After figuring out what he was asking me, I replied, "Is there something wrong with where I parked?"
"Yeah, it's an illegal parking spot!"
I was inclined to believe him, but I wanted to learn his secrets. "How do you know?"
If he was incredulous before, that was nothing to where he was at now: "The curb is painted red and white!!"
Well, that's a traffic law I never would have intuited from the behavior of other drivers. Good to know.
(And yes, I moved the car. Failing to find another free spot anywhere in the vicinity... Well, failing to find a legal free spot nearby, I parked in the pay lot across the street. Darn.)
