Angled Parking: The Art of Sardonic Precision

It's a delicate dance, really. A delicate balance of inches, angles, and existential dread. You must position your vehicle at a 45-degree angle, with the front wheel inches from the curb and the rear bumper kissing the car next to you. Anything more, anything less, and you risk being ticketed, towed, or worse, forced to watch an endless loop of 'Who Let the Dogs Out?' on YouTube.

The Three Golden Rules of Angled Parking

1. Rule the First: The Angle of the Gods. Never park at an angle that would make a geometrician weep.
2. Rule the Second: The Margin of Error. Leave at least 1 inch of clearance between you and the car next to you, lest you wish to be the subject of a heated argument with a stranger.
3. Rule the Third: The Shadow of the Law. Always be aware of the drop shadow of the parking enforcement officer's clipboard, lest you wish to be the recipient of a sternly worded warning.
