Last week I attended an event with my coteacher. After the event, we came back to find his car had been blocked in. His wife says no problem and proceeds to push the offending car out of the way.

I was shocked! So I asked about it of course, and he told me it is common for people who park illegally to leave their cars in neutral so that they can be moved easily.

Often, they have small pillows on their dashboards too, with cell numbers embroidered on them. This is in case they are blocking you as well, so you call their cell and tell em to move.

I couldn't believe it!!! Talk about trust.

It is nice to see someone recognizing one of the good things about Korea.

It was funny because a car was blocking me back in Australia and I instinctively just went to roll it out of the way.

My mom looked at me in shock and I told her.....thats how we do it in Korea Very Happy

Yeah... It's nice when they have those...

Except for a fortnight ago at my complex where we had a car behind us with no phone number and no sticker from our apartment complex.

Then you are fucked.
