how to park during times of pandemic

i ventured out of my containment pod for another pack of
zigs (ugh, ugh, ugh, still trying to quit) only to find
people park differently during times of pandemic

LAZY_TITLE

no sooner had i snapped this photo, climbed into my car, and
turned the ignition over, than someone promptly parked
worse right behind me, blocking three spaces at once
instead of just using one

is it "i really need to go out, and to demonstrate this, i
will park like i really need the three seconds it will take
to park properly?" or is it "i am so full of anxiety i
cannot park properly anymore?"

not sure what to make of it, but it's one of the odder
effects i've noticed on society thus far, and it's also the
worst parking i've seen since living in cape cod

i made a young girl cry once because i had to parallel park
her piece of shit hatchback and told her she has no business
driving if she doesn't know how to park. sometimes it's
one's duty to make sure other people feel sufficiently
stupid in hopes they'll bother to correct their stupidity.

oh, yes, curb your enthusiasm cuts a bit too close to home,
sometimes. larry david gets to do all the stuff he never
actually does in his show, and, yes, this is probably how it
would wind up: who are you to tell me how to park? you are a
pig parker

but, actually, yesterday, i was not outraged. a little
miffed, perhaps: yes, we're facing a viral pandemic, and
this an excuse to forget how to park properly?

mostly, i found it fascinating. the anxiety of the 'rona is
effecting people in strange ways, and this is one: suddenly,
some people can't park any more. because 'rona

possible explanations ~

1) i know i am not supposed to go out, and so, to be sure
everyone knows that i know this, i will park like my house
is on fire.
2) i am so full of anxiety about corona and i have to work
from home with my kids screaming and i am only vaguely aware
that i parked
3) everything is empty and we are at the end days so why
worry about how i park

america is very about cars, and how people behave with them
is a window into the american hive mind

I am so stupid, I genuinely thought there was a brand called
Ziggurats and in my mind could see the packaging, but I was
probably thinking of those Zig-Zag papers.
