Does anyone else get anxious when having to parallel park or squeeze into tight parking spaces? I hate the thought of having to parallel park, especially on a busy street, in case there are cars behind me waiting to get past. I'm not the world's worst parallel parker, but occasionally I get it wrong and need a couple of attempts to do it properly, and the thought of people watching me makes me nervous.
Also I have this fear that if I try and squeeze into a tight space (not just parallel parking), I won't manage to do it and will somehow leave the car in a ridiculous position (again, only an issue if other people are around, like in a mall car park).
Normally I don't worry about this too much and I've never had an embarrasing parking incident yet, but I just bought a new car and found it's slightly longer than my previous one so it'll be a bit harder to park. Now my stupid worrying is taking over and I keep imagining situations where I'll do something stupid while parking!
