The Return Of Mechasmack

So I was at the barber shop this morning getting all of my hairs cut. Suddenly there's some commotion right outside. So we all look to see what's going on because it's one of those glorious days in Chicago where they prohibit you from parking all freakin day for that five minutes that the street cleaner is coming down the block. So they effectively cut the already limited parking spaces in half. And none of us wants another $60 ticket for that crap. But this was not the reason for commotion.

Some guy in a van had stopped to park on this particular street. But as he's backing into his spot, some other guy starts pulling in behind him going forward. I just had to laugh as the vision of George Costanza and that guy Mike (who may or may not have called Jerry Seinfeld a phony) standing in the street, neither one budging for that parking space and polarizing effect it had on the neighborhood. Unfortunately, this incident did not swell to such proportions. The guy who was backing into the spot yielded, which IMHO he should not have done. The guy sneaking in from behind was clearly in the wrong. But it gets to a point where the traffic jam you're causing pressures you to give in and you just have to hope that karma will do it's job. And if it doesn't, the pidgeons surely will.
