Yep, I avoid it like the plague. Fortunately it's not common here.

Sorry you had a hard time.
I learned to parallel park from my Mom. She told me how to do it, once. A few months later when I finally tried it, it worked like a charm. It's always been easy for me.
The trick is to be parallel to the front car's side mirror before you begin.

Here is my trick unless its a seriously packed downtown: park behind a car that has a lot of space before there is anything behind that car (the one you park behind). You pull up kind of like changing lanes, only break and come to a complete stop like a car or two behind the car in front of you (better to have a little extra space than a car accident if you can get away with it (like there aren't those markers for parking spaces along the curb)).I am become death...Comment

Don't worry about it. Everyone has a few accidents when learning to drive/park.

Backing into a tree is better than being backed into by a fully loaded gravel truck with a pup.
