How desparate would you be to find parking in Tel Aviv?

This desparate?

there are a few posts like this on my street,
mainly outside building entrances. Didn;t seem to bother the good folk who decided to park there. Posts? We don;t care about no stinkin' posts!

I guess after the first time you dent your car on a post like that (maybe by accident), a whole world of parking possibilities opens up to you, cuz hey, you already got the dent.
But if you look closely at the photo on the right you'll see that even Miss Kitty who was hiding out under the wheel is pretty amazed at this idiot.
fixing a dented car - $400
finding a parking place in Tel Aviv - priceless??? until you have to move, that is.


oh and one more thing - I didn;t think this one up (credit goes to Benben, or "Santa's Little Helper"), and I apologize to female drivers everywhere (most of them) but to the tune of a previous post of mine (Tel Aviv And Me: A diatribe), we changed the words to:
"Woman-driver woman-womandriver
you're a woman-driver
oh woman-driver oh
you're a woman-driver, babyYou, you, you areYou, you, you are....."

you get the rest :)

I don't get it though..if it's kachol lavan, why don't they just..park? Reminds me of a woman I once saw trying to park, she kept backing up into a "no parking" sign over and over again. True story :)

well, if you just park next to the posts the street becomes too narrow and no cars can pass. so you have to get up on the sidewalk as much as you can. they were just trying to get as close up as possible.
I love your story. Guess she was trying to knock the sign down??

You'd think that, wouldn't you :) She was just trying to park on adom lavan. Now this was recorded in Rehovot. It's supposedly a woman trying to leave a parking lot. But enough about that, I have to leave the office now. There's parking to be hunted! :)
