    A former colleague once complained to me that they could never find a parking spot for their humongous SUV in Berlin and that the city should be more accommodating in that regard. They weren’t even a permanent resident or a commuter but a foreign diplomat.
    To my discredit I wasn’t assertive enough back then to calmly explain public transportation to them, I was just dumbfounded.

      My mental response to that kind of people is,

      “You chose to be the problem. Have you tried not being one?”
