Relatable monologue about parking frustrationfrom @davi87dp
[01]
Overview
The creator delivers a comedic monologue explaining why the inability to find parking for an event is now a sufficient reason for him to give up and go home. He justifies this by listing the efforts he's already made, then humorously rants about the absurdity of competing for a spot, walking multiple blocks, deciphering complex parking signs, and the high cost of valet. He concludes by describing the relief he feels upon deciding to head home, reframing the decision not as a defeat but as a victory for his own well-being.

I've reached the age where not finding parking for an event is enough to make me go back home
Transcript
I've reached the age where not finding parking for an event is enough to make me go back home. Because at that point, I've made a reasonable effort. Okay? I got dressed. I left my house. I drove all the way there. That's already three things I didn't particularly wanna do. And now now you're telling me I have to compete for a parking space? Like, absolutely not. I'll circle the block worse. Maybe three times if I if I really like you. But after that, the event has officially been canceled on my end. Okay? I love when someone says, oh, there's parking a few blocks away. A few blocks, so so now we're hiking? I thought I was coming to dinner and not not completing the final stage of a fitness assessment. Rank then you find the spot, but the sign says it has 19 different parking restrictions, two hour parking except Thursday, street cleaning and alternate. Wednesdays permit... Required during a lunar eclipse. I'm not risking a $90 ticket to eat a $17 appetizer. I'm already upset. And and don't even get me started on valet. I'm already paying to attend this event emotionally. Now now you want $35 to temporarily separate me from my vehicle? No. No. The worst part is is when your friend's calling, oh, where are you? I couldn't find parking. Just keep looking. No. No. I don't think I will. I've already I've already accepted the outcome. I'm at a red light heading home, and my mood has improved considerably. Like, people act like turning around is some kind of defeat. It isn't. I showed up. The parking situation declined my attendance. And and the second I get home, take my shoes off, and sit on the couch, I no I made the right decision, you no, because whatever was happening at that event was never gonna be better than this.
