Carports

I hate carports. The spaces are too small and the poles are such a hassle to manuver around. People drive and park molecules away from your vehicle and mysterious scratches appear without apology. Tonight, I was about to leave to grab dinner and run some errands. I waited for a car to pass behind me before I carefully backed striaght out of my assigned space... you have to back out straight to clear the poles when... CRUNCH! The pole on the driver's side took out my mirror! I blame myself for not paying attention to the amount of space I had on the left side. I let out a few choice words, turned on my windshield wipers instead of shitfting gears, drove forward, re-parked, shut off the engine, sat... and scrutinized the dangling mirror in utter embarassment. I got out and looked around. Luckily, no one was there to witness my carport fiasco. I stomped back into my apartment. Vented to my roommate. And then stomped around a little more. A friend ended up picking me up to grab some dinner and much needed dessert. It was a nice distraction, but I still am frustrated. I don't want to know how much it will cost to fix. Anybody got any tape? :)
