I got the closest parking spot to the school today because I had to be early for some reason. I love that feeling of walking out of the school and my car is right there <3

I park in the back with my friends buuuut a group of five cars decided to steal the spots soo I had to park a bit farther today. At my school, if you park in the closest spots, I can guarantee that you won't be able to get out of the spot for 15-20 minutes. Parents are starting to park behind parked cars -____- Let me just say there have been outbursts between students and parents.

I will not deal. Having a car isn't all that great. I have to pay 100 a month for insurance, 60 a month for gas, 60 every few months for an oil change and tire rotation. I I want to complain because I couldn't use my car I will.

Had I had the right to go wherever I want when I want to then you could tell me to deal.

Meh, I don't feel totally sympathetic because a kid I work with has to put all of his paychecks towards car payments yet at the same time groans about how he can't buy X thing or go to Z event because he has no money.

Nobody ever told you that you had to get a car.

You could certainly argue that you absolutely need a car to get places, but I live in a place where no car = no go and I think I've survived pretty well.

Oh, I am so sorry. I had no idea. You can't use the car you have to do anything you want? You have to spend your money on something you own? You are right. Life must be so hard for you. Please, go on. Don't deal. You deserve not-it. People without cars just don't understand the trouble you go through as a car owner. It's clearly not as objectively better than not-having-a-car as I first thought.

You don't know anything about me so I'd really appreciate it if you didn't make comments about what you don't understand. Idk if you're bitter cause you don't have a car
, but again I'd appreciate it if you didn't make judgements before you know the whole story.

Woah, don't take things so seriously. ^_^

I don't even care for cars, for just the reasons you cited. I just like opportunities for sarcasm. :S

Hahahahah

I could tell Philo was being sarcastic...but I guess everyone else..

@Jazzi Wow it sucks that you have to pay for everything. All I have to pay for is gas, which is about 40 a month. Amen for a great mom.

And Muta!!! Why are you in hereee??

I saw the sarcasm and I think that's what bothered me more. When I'm in a bad mood sarcasm doesn't air well with me. Sorry philo
