I don't get too upset about not finding a parkingspace where I want to, or when someone else beats me to it. But, I always try to see if I can park the close by where I need to be and if needed circle the block a few times. However, when the girlfriend is in the car she tends to stress me out more during finding a parking spot. She's not that patient as I am. She would be more a mouse...

The theory is that the anonymity of the cab makes them less likely to be spotted - nobody ever looks at the <i>driver</i> of a taxi... it would be ungenerous of me to also imply that either gentleman would ever use a 'buses and taxis only' lane in their unlicensed cab.
