Hmmm...

My sister is getting her car's windshield replaced (grammar question, does the windshield belong to the car?) because it has a considerable crack, which is apparently "unsafe" because it might cause "death" or some such bullshit.

So there's a guy in my garage taking apart her car, which doesn't bother me at all, mostly because I hadn't noticed until I opened the garage door (door to the garage, not the big mechanical door) and noticed him and his big giant repairman van — parked directly behind my car... causing me to wonder... why would someone park behind the car they aren't going to be working on, thus immobilizing both automobiles?

I admit, it seems likely he'd have pulled up to the garage before knowing which car he'd be dealing with (possibly before the door had been opened at all) and he'd been considerate enough to pull in along one side of the driveway rather than directly in the middle (as jackasses are wont to do) but I'm bothered (because I'm impatient and want to buy ink for my printer so I can put some cartoons in the mail — even though the mail won't be picked up until tomorrow anyway — so those cartoons can be rejected and sent back to me so I can get depressed again).
