Town Creates Gender Specific Parking Spots

Learning Things, News 5 Comments »

The Town of Triberg, Germany is making headlines these days after creating a set of parking lots with gender specific stall. The stalls for women are wider and better lit. The stalls for men are narrow, unlit and often are beside a pillar of some kind. The mayor tells reporters that they’re having fun with the whole thing, but here’s my question: how many women would welcome this vs find it sexist? If I could have my own, easy to park in stall, damn RIGHT I’d be all over that!

This appears to be real. I haven’t seen it in Canada but the writing is all in English so I’m guessing it’s somewhere in the US, however according to the video, it’s in Singapore.  From what it looks like, you pay a dollar for a tub of hot mashed potatoes squished out of a machine, then another dollar for what’s called “gravy”. According to the instructions on the machine:

1. Place the cup under the nozzle.

2. Press the “Mashed Potatoes” button once.

3. Chicken gravy will be dispensed after 2 seconds.

4. Enjoy your mashed potatoes.

Yum. Check the video:
