Why is it that any time two cars are parked on opposite sides of a suburban street, they will be parked directly across from each other?

And why is it that, 7 times out of 10, when driving down that suburban street there will be a car coming in the opposite direction and the passing point between that car and yours will fall immediately between those two parked cars, creating a moment of "Nuts will we both fit? I don't think we'll both fit With the whole street to park along why are there TWO cars right there Doesn't anyone pay attention to these kinds of things when they park? Should I slow down and wait for them Are they waiting for me They're waiting for me/They're not waiting Whoa Watch the mirrors HONESTLY I can't believe we both fit I guess I'm glad I've got a small car Whew."

Seriously.
