I was still in the car

That was a little dumb of her, asking a stranger to park her car on her behalf, especially with you inside. Strange as it might be, I have on several occasions been asked to do such "favours" to many ladies and, on two occasions, two elderly men. Usually, there is a "pile" of vehicles at our local shopping malls. And many women fail to negotiate through with their driving skills, so as I get out of my car, they will ask if I can help them park their car properly. Some of them will even ask for my number! (Not that I should be coming over to park for them, I suppose!) lol

I think your sister needs to learn how to drive better and practice parking more. I have never had anyone else park for me, and no, I wouldn't trust doing that. Just asking a stranger, here park my car? no way, what would she have done if he put it in gear and just drove away? In these days and times, that was a very stupid thing to do. Even if she had been by herself, what if he had driven away with her car? Yep, think she either needs to not drive, or learn how to park her vehicle. Would you trust anyone parking this vehicle for you?

It seldom happens. Some time every body is not expert and it is difficult for a casual driver to rightly park the car where space is very short you have to mutely use the back gear and at the same you have to save your car and at the same time save others and make some space to come out also.

oh my god!! what was your friend thinking back then??? very odd! i have never been in such a situtation!!! hope you got freaked out pretty bad!!! hahah!

Hey that was a dumb thing to do. Just handing over the car to a total stranger. I don't have a car of my own. But even if I had one I wouldn't have just handed it over to anyone like that. Now days there is a saying "Your right hand cannot trust your left hand and vice versa" so definitely I wouldn't trust a stranger. Your lucky the stranger you encountered was a nice man with good and helping intentions.

LOL, it sounds like too dangerous, she shouldn't have turst him. There are many bad people in the world, luckily he was a good one and he hasn't drove away with your siter's car and you!

Well first of all if you cant park, you need to practice or find a place that you can park in. I would never ask a stranger to park my vehicle, let alone with someone else in the vehicle. You just never know anymore on what someone will do. If she is going to continue driving she really needs to practice or know what parking spots she can handle. This could have had a horrible ending to this story, the vehicle gone, you gone. I hope that she learns.

No, I won't trust them. It depends somtimes

hi 3 cardmonte nope never been in that situation butI would never if it were me,trust a perfect stranger to park my car, if I had one , because how can I trust someone I do not even know. this is like my husband years back borrowed two hundred dollars from me to buy a televison set from a guy he had just met in the bar. turns out that myhubby gave the guy the money then asked him to wait while my hubby went to the bathroom. only when he came out the guy from the bar and the money and the televsion all had disappeared. so no money and no television and a wife furious with her husband. I had tried to tell my too trusting husbandneverr ever buy anything out of the back of a pickup. I can only imagine that the brand new television was stolen. maybe we were lucky we had not bought it.

No, I can't say anything like that has ever happened to me. But I can tell you one thing, if my sister had trouble parking her car and had to have a stranger do it, I wouldn't be riding with her any longer. She deserves to have her license pulled.

Where I come from, yes I would trust them. No one has ever done that to me though and If they did I would be wondering how many hay stacks short of bundle they were! That must have been very much scary, though, especially since your sister basically left your life in her hands...

I am so awful at parking I only go places where I know I can park. We have this long standing joke in our house that when I visit the supermarket that I need a bus to get to the supermarket door as I park as far away from the dupermarket door as I can as I know no one esle will park that far away and I know when I come out with the shopping I will be able to get out. I would never ask anyone else to park my car. So pleased that you didn't get kipnaapped. Hope you have got over the shock, I'm still in shock for you!

I was wondering how could she passed her parking skills?? Or is it just mere luck to have her car parked so nice.
