Anyone familiar with the term "Me thinketh the lady doth protest too much" from "Much Ado about Nothing?"

Maybe the girl at Ace was too young and naïve to know that she could not, but she went ahead and duplicated the key, she just wanted to make sure that it worked. Google showed a locksmith that did not seem to exist, so I went down the street to Ace. With limited parking where I live, I parked my friend's car at the back of my space, and I put my Civic up against hers. Then some random woman parked her Excursion in our driveway and started gawking at me. As I tested the key in a car between a house and a larger car, she asked if I was trying to leave.

Yes, I was going to drive the smaller Civic over the larger one.

Then a neighbor needed to park in the street and another had difficulty maneuvering around a much larger vehicle that did not belong there.

Am I the only person who does not park in other people's driveways?

On topic: Yes, the Ace copy worked, but hopefully a locksmith could have made a duplicate better than the current condition of the original.
