Still, it’s not as if she had much choice, the laws of nature being what they are. After all, we all know how much easier it would be for parking the car if we weren’t just limited to the four dimensions of conventional space time. Sod the Star Trek warp drive, what would be a greater boon to the human race would be the warp car parking space that could somehow unfold out of some other dimension or something to enable you to park with ease, and - once parked – get out of the car without having to perform some Olympic–standard gymnastic routines to unfold your body out of the less than two inches of room you have to open the car door without hitting the car in the adjacent space or some bollard, waste bin, light fixture or some other street furniture the creator of the car park littered across the place like some concrete, metal and plastic confetti.
Still, like I said, she didn’t have much choice – lacking the warp parking facility, so she just left it there, spread diagonally across the two spaces. After all, it was not as if it was the busy time. The car park itself was more or less deserted, which is one of the advantages of going shopping when there is major sporting event underway.
Not that she knew that, of course.
The rest of the world – including car parking space delineations - was not much interest to her. She had far more important things to occupy her mind than mere rules and regulations, especially those universal laws of physics that seemed to do so much to thwart her desires. Still, though, she did get her shopping done, which in the great cosmic scheme of things is – after all – what really matters.
