I live in Boston, and Boston is definitely not the city of brotherly love…

Last night, I was supposed to have dinner downtown. On the way there, traffic, as always, was growing as we were getting closer to downtown. Traffic was so bad, that we were going to miss our dinner reservations.

We decided to go onto plan B, which entailed having dinner in South Boston where traffic and, more importantly, parking is better. As we are going down the main street where the restaurants are, we saw a couple getting into their car parked on the street. It was as close to rock star parking as one could hope for. As usual, we pulled up, put on the blinker, waited for the car to pull out, and began to parallel park. Unfortunately, a car swooped in and stole the spot by pulling into the spot forward. Then the following conversation took place:

Me: “Oh, come on.”
Driver: “You shouldn’t stop traffic like that.”
Me: “Dick!”

At this very moment, another couple saw what was going on and were, as luck would have it, about to get into their car to leave from the very next spot. This new couple got into their Toyota SUV, turned on the ignition, put the car into reverse, purposely backed into the car that had stolen our spot, began to pull out…hesitated to give us a thumbs up…and drove off into the night…

Karma can be a bitch sometimes…or karma could be a driver in a Toyota SUV!!!
