our inconsiderate drivers
Commuting to NYC is hell any way you look at it, the bus is torture,
the subways are filthy, the LIRR trains are expensive, the NJT ones
don't run nearly on time and the ferries make you want to throw up.
Driving is a bit better if you are a glutton for punishment because
the traffic is awful and the tolls are debilitating.
The only thing that makes it somewhat palatable is when you get out
and give your car to a parking lot guy and he smiles and hands you a
ticket and you are off.
I tend to park on the lots around 9th avenue for two reasons
-If you park in the heart of midtown you can easily be out $40 but if
you do a big of research you find plenty of lots right around 9th
avenue for $15.
-if you think the traffic on the FDR or West Side Highway is bad, get
to 44th street where you can literally move one car per light switch.
So parking any closer that 9th avenue actually costs you more time
The problem is that there are a bunch of German car driving a-holes
who feel they need to park their jersey plate as close to their office
as humanly possible to avoid the indignity of having to walk two
blocks even if it costs them triple and an extra half an hour in
commuting time
The issue is that these are the same jerks who will plant their asses
right just far enough to the left that you can.'go get past them to
get to the lot fifty feet in front of you. It's like these guys know
they are going to be tortured by the traffic and will be damned if
anybody else has a reasonable commute. So they make you stand there
for 10 extra minutes regardless of the amount of friendly beeps you
give them to nudge over six inches to allow you to pass
The only laugh I get is when I pass them a few minutes after i've
dropped my car off as they are still stuck in traffic and I discreetly
drop a dirty diaper into their open back window. How's that for
your German engineering.

I try to carry at least one empty bottle in my car for when I experience road rage on the freeway and need something to throw at the middle aged female shitty driver who just flipped me off for her own shitty driving mistake.
