Parking Woes

Not the kind of parking where your windows are fogged up and you're dreading the policeman's flashlight in the back window...

When we arrived at Friday night's high school football game in the unfortunately unlined lot, we pulled into the facing row of an existing line of cars. There was supposed to be a space behind us before a new row. We came out of the stadium early to miss traffic and a whole row of dorkasses had parked behind our row, blocking us all in like this:

[STADIUM THIS WAY^^]

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXKXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX <---- [DORKASS ROW]

The K is me.

Those people knew exactly what they did, because they had to walk through the two rows of cars to go towards the stadium. We sat there for maybe half an hour before the people next to us were luckily able to get out and I did some fancy maneuvering to exit to that side. Good grief.
