A picture is but a moment in time and doesn’t necessarily portray what is actually happening. Before you continue please have a look at the picture and tell me which car has a bad driver?
The majority of people will think the driver of the car that’s taking up two spaces is the bad driver, however, the majority in this situation would be incorrect.
The bad driver is actually the driver of the car beside the silver car.
“How?” I’m glad you asked that question. Originally, the driver of the silver car had parked in one space and his partner had been able to get out of the car and go into the shop without any trouble.
While the driver’s partner was in the store, the other car arrived and parked beside the silver car but as you can see, that car didn’t leave enough space so that when the driver’s partner came out she wouldn’t be able to get into the car.
The driver of the silver car decided to be courteous to his partner by moving the car so there would be enough room for her to enter the car.
Of course, people who didn’t witness the entire story unfold will think the guy driving the silver car is just a bad driver.
The lesson to be learned from this situation is, before you take sides in any story, make sure you know who’s responsible for the actions you’re witnessing because it’s not always obvious. I’ll leave you with one old adage.
There’s always at least three sides to every story. My side, your side and the truth.
