We’ve all been there: Our initial delight of having found legal street parking in the busy Bangsar neighborhood instead of paying a premium in a parking garage suddenly dissipates and is replaced with varying levels of ennui — upon returning to our car, we realize that we have been blocked in by a double-parker.
Seasoned reader, as you know — there are now two options. One, wait patiently forever for the owner to return; or two, beep your horn loudly, in prolonged bursts that may or may not spell out “f*ckwit” in Morse code, and wait for an embarrassed-looking individual to rush towards you, keys in hand, to move their car.
Turns out, there was a third option none of us had tried: Reverse your car into the offending vehicle, jimmy your way around it (room on the side providing), and before you go, don’t forget to leave some parting words — which is exactly what one lady did last night.
Upon returning to her car that had been parked in front of a packed Shelley Yu’s (it was Ladies Night, baby!), she discovered that the owner of another white car had blocked her in. So this happened:

While she reversed into the other car, she managed to quite skillfully maneuver her car out of the pickle she was in; however, she paused and took a moment to leave a message:
Yeah. TL;DR — Don’t be THAT driver and double-park. Just find a legit space somewhere that doesn’t inconvenience other humans. It’s 2019 — we’re better than that.
