You Waste 26 Hours A Year Parking In Lake Charles
If you've ever tried to park in downtown Lake Charles during lunch time, 26 hours seems like just one day.
Every time I park downtown, I always feel like when I walk out the restaurant, my car is going to be towed. Sometimes, you just gotta resort to shady parking methods to make sure you're on time.
According to a new study from the Daily Mail, the average person wastes 26 hours and 21 minutes per year trying to find parking spots. That's roughly four or five minutes a day.
The survey also found that 20% of people have gotten into an accident in a parking lot, and 5% have gotten so frustrated that they couldn't find a spot that they turned around and drove home.
Oh, and the runaway pick for the worst person to have in the car when you're in a stressful parking situation? Your significant other.
Albeit a different situation, the video below from one of my favorite comedians, Vic DiBitetto, talks about a parking situation that ticks me off too. And Vic can explain the pain better than I can, lol. This video is NSFW.
