SO pissed off

I’m so pissed off about the parking situation around our apartment. It’s bad enough we can’t park on the street we actually live on because it’s permit only and we don’t have permits*. But now, the perpendicular street, which we usually park on is also permit only. For blocks around, there’s permit only [...]
