No matter what I do, I can’t seem to learn the exact limits of my car! And because 5 years ago a parking attendant told me to go back, and I trusted him and went back and ended up hitting the car behind me, I don’t ever trust parking attendants. But I know I need to work on this distance optical thing. Now I’m not sure if defining the car limits is really related to gender, but at least I’m fully aware that I do NOT know the limits of my car. 🙂 And here’s a nice song to brighten up your Monday (More Than Words, Extreme), Enjoy! 🙂

(I MIGHT be slow in posting during this week because I have sooooo much to do [lecture+workshop-CC presentation-CCF exhibition- work], so please forgive me, I promise you’ll be on my mind all the time!) So here’s another song to express the situation I’m in (Under Pressure, Queen & David Bowie)

    Com on Maya, it’s easy to know the limits… Go back slowly, and when you slightly hit the car behind you, it means you have to stop…

    I’ve always had trouble with relative space recognition when driving, but then again even though I’m 25 I drive like an old man 😛

    “Now I’m not sure if defining the car limits is really related to gender”.

    My wife will make a claim that its “socially constructed”, and I will nod with my head (obviously in accordance)

    let me tell you how it is gender related, guys aren’t afraid of hitting the car in front of them or behind them 😛 hence distance is no longer relevant

    Moreover Maya, I once listened to an idiot who kept telling me to go back and I knew i shouldn’t anymore, but he nagged so much so I did, and the exhaust ended up falling down lol

    Heh, mni7a, me and my friend, we have a dual imaginary scene for this kind of situation:

    Scene 1:
    Parking guy: rja3eh rja3eh rja3eh…
    *BOUV* (u hit the car behind u b ouwweh)
    Parking guy (3al reiyi2): eh bass!

    Scene 2:
    Parking guy: rja3eh rja3eh rja3eh…
    *BOUV* (u hit the car behind u b ouwweh)
    Parking guy: rja3eh rja3eh rja3eh
    You: wlek darabit, wein ba3d baddeh erja3?!
    Parking guy (3al reiyi2 kamein): darabit, bass ba3d ma ba3ajit.

    Hihihi, i *LOVE* the second scene 🙂
