Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

You know, it's hard to beat that feeling you get when you nail a reverse park first time.

@Axisential @Dave I have a natural talent for parallel parking and revel in it. I feel like a hero when traffic is backed up and I need to parallel park. No worries fam, I think to myself, I've got this one.

Oh man, parallel parking with a line behind you! Gotta love when you pull forward indicating you're gonna do a parallel park, and the car behind you follows you up close behind you. Then they can't go back because they have a car behind them, you can't get into the park, everything is stuck.

Extra fun when they are honking at you for blocking traffic when it's their fault.

Ok it only happened once, but I'm still bitter about it.

@Dave crazy story but this just happened after my message. A car pulled up to my bumper and wanted the park i was reversing into. The lady refused to move!

Bugger that, I had nowhere to be and can stay stubborn longer than her lack of shame can last.

Haha holy crap! I have to say I've never had something like that.
