Mirror Bumping Again!

Today I was trying to park not far away from the bakery to buy some bread in the morning. Finding a school bus coming towards me I kept to my extreme right while moving slowly forward with the i10. The right side mirror bumped (again) against the car parked on my right side almost completely closing the mirror inwards. Seems I still had not learnt the lesson well. Seems I only to consideration for the right side dimension of the car and do not take into consideration the extra space needed for the mirror (when it's open).

The other repeated mistake I had also done today was parking backwards and not observing the street from behind me during the parking process. I guess I only looked backwards before starting to reverse and park but not during the parking process itself. I was alerted to this mistake (again) upon hearing the slight honking coming from behind.

Although I have repeated those two mistakes today yet I'm still glad since today I drove at the time when school buses and cars were moving around even if I was only confined to the small streets around the house. The second win I had today was buying bread. I almost gave it up not finding a place to park near their and failing to park at a rather small (but not very) space in front of the bakery. Yet at the end and after several 'rounds' I finally decided to park at a place not so far from the bakery. I came back home with a plastic bag with six loafs of bread in it.
