Dear Parking Garage Fail,

After watching your third failed attempt to back your Ford Behemoth into a space this morning I've decided instead of hating you (which obviously doesn't work) that I'd try to model a bit of grace and give you one of three choices:

1: You can buy a smaller car - one you can manage without having a panic attack every time to try to park it, or land it, or dock it - whatever.

2: You can hire a chauffer - this doesn't have to cost a lot as there are numerous driver education students who'd be better at this thing than you and they'd come cheap.

3: You can die in a fire. It can be a house fire, a car fire, or gun fire - I don't care.

The problem isn't time or impatience on my part. The whole reason I leave the house 20 minutes early every morning is in the anticipation of time lost watching you park. I read a book, make phone calls, listen to music and so forth. I can handle the wasted time, no problem.

The issue is that every morning I have to lie awake in bed and somehow conjure up a little bit of hope - just enough hope to keep me from hanging myself. If I ignore the news and plug my ears that little bit of hope can get me through the day; however, just watching your ridiculous attempt to park wipes out all of my hope for humanity and I end up leaving the parking garage fantasizing about the apocalypse.

It would be different if it this were your first time parking - let's say you were teleported here from a different planet or something - however, you're middle aged and you've been parking for at least 3 decades. The question becomes: How can you be so bad at something you've done thousands of times? Are you ignorant or just stupid?

Please get help.
Thanks.
