Since there is no bus service between my home and work I ride a bicycle everyday so that my S doesn't have to sit exposed in a parking lot for 12 hrs.

*when you park in a parking spot away from everyone else, then someone parks next to you, and you go out and move your car to be by itself again*

btw, I am guilty of 99% percent of those.
