Oh I misread it as front right/passenger wheel, my bad. Yeah that doesn't leave much alternative.
Which is kinda stupid since that car's front wheels are probably closer to the curb than many trucks' driver side wheels are even when parked properly...
The BBC article covering this "boxing" match is awesome. You can tell right from the title that the journalist wasn't amused:
Joshua and Paul earn riches but deliver budget sporting spectacle
The plot played out in the ring was lifeless - a slow, joyless watch that would have struggled to earn even a charitable rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
And the ultimate irony is that this spectacle has provided one of Joshua's biggest paydays and, in all likelihood, his largest television audience.
With seconds remaining in the fourth round, referee Christopher Young perhaps spoke for viewers around the world when he pulled the fighters together and urged them to engage.
Directing his comments at Paul, he said: "Fans didn't pay to see this crap."
While in general it is true that alcohol slows down the central nervous system (hence, "a depressant"), it also activates reward-related pathways, which is why it causes the widely known sense of euphoria.
It also seems to depress fear-related pathways, which explains drunkard's poor decision making, but adds to the happy feeling if you were stressed or anxious.
They painted it at a T junction, you can see there's a road coming from the opposite direction, and at night, anybody who's not local could have fallen for that and just assumed it was normal crossroads.
There's also barely, if any, sidewalk in front of the painting, that could at least have alerted the driver.
It's pure luck that the guy wasn't driving fast, or there'd be dead bodies because of this stupid prank. This needs jail time, even if suspended.
There's a couple of warning flags in that story - what's with the "I spend my time making my boss's life hell"? That doesn't sound conducive to building a trusting relationship...
Then there's how you work through a problem with someone, especially higher management. I've learned to not over share the details, because there's this invisible force that commands them to give an opinion and butt in.
Just offer calm assurance that you know what it is going on and that you can fix it, and give them an estimate of how long it will take, but double it first. This will give you leeway in case of unexpected issues, and make you look good if you deliver faster.
One thing they're good at though is getting you resources. If you need someone else to move, or something to get it fixed, be clear about that and they'll start making phone calls and make it happen in no time.
