Context collapse in a case of nice parallel parking.

Parallel parking can be a tricky skill to master. It can also lead, as described at length at Curbed, to wholesale forest fire on Twitter (because what Twitter wants is people looking at a tweet that makes them so mad that they're going to spend all day tweeting about it. )

The author does note that they were somewhat responsible for their cancellation:

I asked the user who had called me an “objectively bad person” to comment. He said the same thing as the others: It was mostly meant as a joke. And then he pointed out something I hadn’t considered. I had been the one to screenshot his tweet, and that was the tweet that went megaviral. I had many more followers than he did, and I had put him on blast to provide them with entertainment. So how was I any different from the trolls who came after me?
