While attempting to parallel park at the Brookline, MA public library, she somehow ended up perpendicular parking on top of the wall.

Even more proof that Boston drivers are the worst - but the best at !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and placing their cars in creative positions.

This could easily be my mother in law... She came out for Christmas in her year and a half old Subaru Forester with the passenger side door just scratched and dented all to hell...
I ask her about it and her answer?
"Oh my goodness I have no idea how that happened?!?! Oh well...."
Honest. To. Fucking. God.

Holy shit, they did it in a Matrix too.
I'm impressed.

If she wasn't before, she needs to now!

I was once on the highway and you know how sometimes the medians on the side of a lane can have a slight curve to it at the base as shown here:
Well as I was in the middle lane I watched at this lady not only went up against it but her two right wheels caught the curve and her right side was easily about 10 inches off the ground, I saw her correct the car and the paint left behind on the wall and she just kept driving without a care in the world.

We need to stop the Matrix on Matrix violence.

That sounds a lot like what we called "unintended acceleration" back in the day.

Brookline makes me think of a "cool mom" talking to her friend on speaker phone while swinging one hand back at her kid to shut up while maintaining control of her Starbuck's skinny-mocha-whatever-the-fuck-they-call-those-drinks.
But then it turns out she's 70.
So she's the "cool grandma" blah blah.
Town rivalries in sports die hard...and it seems like I hold grudges and stereotypes for every town I ever faced haha.

And this happened near Philadelphia today: http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20…
Its one of those things where you almost can't be mad, because it really is impressive that a person could screw up so badly at something so simple. It's like going to change a burned out light bulb in your den and somehow causing a nuclear meltdown.

I never understood how people do this. Sure I have hit the gas when I meant to hit the brake in the past, but never has my reaction been to mash the gas down even further or to think "OMG the car is accelerating on its own even though I'm on the brakes"

Oh, right! I was thinking of Audi when I typed that. I forgot all about the claims of unintended acceleration with Toyotas.
