You're feisty.
That could be it.
Because sometimes people are WRONG ON THE INTERNET.
And that's it also.
I should not talk immigration. At all. To anyone. At all.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I hereby rule in favor of your friend. The other person can SUCK IT.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Absolutely your friend should not feel bad, meara. I'm surprised at myself that calling a tow truck did not immediately occur to me.

Our wings are not tired.
Your friend should not feel bad. If the person had no other option for parking they needed to leave a note with their number to call if the blocked car needed to get out.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Your friend should totally not feel bad. I get blocked in intermittently (or people park in my space) because I have a weird space. I go to the building super and put it on them. Your friend is very inventive, but it's totally on the person who parked there, and the person who told them to do it. Your friend shouldn't have to justify why she had to use her car.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
But my friend still felt bad cause she'd gotten chewed out.
I would too. But she had no other choice.

That's the crux of the biscuit right there.

Yeah--I was all "They didn't KNOW why you needed to use your car!! Hell, I go to the airport all the time--for all they know, you were desperately late for a flight out of Dulles, and parking you in would cost you a $70 cab ride...were you supposed to just suck it up and leave THEM a note, and hope they paid it? Yeah RIGHT"

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
meara, your friend had the right idea. That's dangerous. When I was a nanny, the family I worked for got blocked in when their little boy got sick and they were advised to bring him to the ER. It wasn't call-an-ambulance level of sick, but it wasn't we-can-sit-around-for-an-hour-or-two level either. NOT safe.
Your friend shouldn't have to justify why she had to use her car.
There is also that.
Seska, I think your research is very sexy.
Aww. Thank you. We should name it after a cool but overlooked minor movie star.
