I'm having a mental breakdown because of parking. (Vent)
I'm having a mental breakdown because of my girlfriend's parking habits.
She is the type of character you often see in Korea.
When we go to a restaurant or out to eat, she absolutely loathes paying parking fees..
She's the type who thinks we should either park on the street or just abandon the car in front of someone else's car in a public parking lot under the guise of "double parking" just so she doesn't have to pay the fee..
Of course, damn it, when she abandons the car in front of someone else,
since it's mealtime, the other person has to finish their meal before calling for their car,
and I have to go out, deal with it, and then come back and park again.. haha..
And then she comes back grumbling.. saying she had to go out because the establishment didn't provide proper parking facilities.......
Sometimes she even complains directly to the shop.
She goes to extreme lengths just to avoid paying parking fees.
Illegal parking is a given, and I've even seen her go into a neighboring business as if she's dining there just to park her car...
The part I absolutely despise is...
These days, valet is common at restaurants, but since it costs 5,000–6,000 won in areas like Gangnam, she won't use it..
And
She takes out all the stress she feels in that moment and spreads it everywhere.
She grumbles throughout the entire meal.
"We should have done this," "What about that," etc.
"Why does this establishment allow/not allow parking for this price," etc.
"Whether a place with no parking is cheap or expensive..."
But because she's the type who can't resist tasting everything,
she orders 4 or 5 different menu items and leaves them after just one bite.
For example, if we go to a Chinese restaurant,
she'll order Sweet and Sour Pork, Jajangmyeon, and Jjamppong (and even split those half-and-half)
And it doesn't stop there;
she'll order two more things like Yuringi (deep-fried chicken with soy sauce) and Chili Pepper Shredded Pork.
Then she just takes one bite to taste it and leaves everything behind..
I cannot understand how someone can go to such extremes to save 3,000–5,000 won in parking fees,
only to order 50,000 won worth of food and leave after two bites.
It's the same when I pay, but she acts the exact same way when she pays.
Since she agonized over choosing between Sweet and Sour Pork, Yuringi, and Chili Pepper Shredded Pork, my philosophy is that she should at least eat one bite of each before leaving....
(For the record, I don't even eat much.)
I don't eat much because I'm managing my weight.
By the way, despite this uncontrollable greed for food, I am incredibly thin.
Regardless of whether it's good or bad, I just cannot understand this human's behavior.
Ugh.. I feel like it might be time to break up.
I try to plan our dates in the suburbs to find places with free and easy parking,
and whenever we have to go into Seoul, I beg her to just leave the car behind, but
she brings the car anyway, and at that moment, the day is ruined.
Because while I don't mind exercising, she is the type who absolutely loathes walking more than three steps if she can't park right in front.
One person spends the whole day grumbling about parking wherever we go,
and I am just soul-crushed and speechless.
