i got caught in painfully slow traffic this afternoon. it turns out it was caused by an ill-parked jeepney waiting for passengers at a street corner. actually, that street is their 'terminal' and they really occupy one lane of that two-lane one-way street. the thing is, this driver, instead of parking straight parallel to the curb, parked diagonally with the rear of his vehicle protruding to the second lane forcing oncoming vehicles to slow down and squeeze through a small opening before they turn either left or right around the bend. once you get past the jeepney, the road is all clear!!! the driver had no idea he was causing a bottleneck affecting vehicles several blocks away... : }
next time you think you are too small to single-handedly make a big impact, think of that lone vehicle... \m/
