Because we're hauling out our favorite peeves today...parking. We have enough spaces for one car/room and one innkeeper car. We have painted an extra space on our parking lot for OUR car (it is not marked as such but it is oddly placed). This is where we park our car when we need the extra parking space for a guest.
Last night the entire parking lot was empty except for our 2 cars (neither in the 'extra' space as it wasn't needed). That's where our guest parked. In the spare spot (which is really small to accommodate one of our small cars.) The next guest? Parked behind them. I have SIX empty parking spaces and they're parking in these odd places.
Today- during breakfast a car pulls in with local plates. Person pulls sideways, taking 2 spaces, gets out of car comes to house. I figure it's someone with brochures. No. Here to see a guest. They go out and leave the car parked sideways.
Check-ins start. The sideways car is gone but its position is quickly taken by a guest who parks the same way. All guests come back and bring friends. Same car is back in the parking lot right now, parked sideways again. So, I now have 2 cars taking 4 spaces.
Luckily, everyone is leaving soon to go to dinner or to events. So they can all start right back up again later on. There are times I wish I couldn't see the parking lot. It makes me crazy!
