Parquea'

Parquea'- (from the English parking): It means to park you in a place that you can fit or not.

From my apartment you can see the street, for luck or misfortune, I see every day how people park on the edge of the sidewalk. That this happens has several drawbacks. When cars are parked on both sides of the road, the garbage truck doesn't fit. Last time the truck driver blew our eardrums with his horn. Since there was no owner, one of the neighbors came out of the house and shouted to the driver: "follow it down there and cough them up, they're not supposed to park there. That sounded to me like a very viable solution, but well, they managed to get out of the car ambush. After that, the police were notified. That week was a festival of tickets for parking in the wrong place. Placed a patch on the problem of cars on both sides of the street, comes another issue that is one of cosmic levels: parking between two cars. Definitely that is the first thing you are tested in the driving test. In the test you must park the car without touching the cones.... Ultimately, in this country driver's licenses are given away. I have often observed such an event. Men and women, although I have to admit that, statistically, ladies outnumber gentlemen.  The car marks the sign indicating that it is going to park, the others pass by the side, because the courtesy of waiting was shoved up their ass long ago. In the first attempt you get deep inside, you climb on the sidewalk. In the second, it sticks too much to the other car. In the third, he is almost well settled, but forgot to straighten the wheel and now must take out the whole cart and start again. For those who still persist there may be several options. A car leaves and they fit comfortably. They follow a little bit ahead and a little behind. In most cases they leave, they don't keep trying, they give up. Maybe that's what happens in the background, we are going to park between two cars and the anxiety of the one who goes behind and does not let you park disturbs you, maybe it is not practiced enough. It is also probable that the driving test is deficient and licenses are obtained by the backhand.... Where did I hear that? For some reason I think no one would doubt the veracity of the expression. That's what saddens me, that we get used to chaos and stop trying, we stop learning to park well between two cars and that's just one of the things we've stopped trying. The other surrenders are even worse.
