Quoth Irving Patrick Freleigh View Post
When we arrived at the restaurant, we noticed a BMW parked crooked across two parking spots. Mom had a theory about this--it's always people with fancy cars parking so retarded, so that nobody that park in the space next to them and ding their doors.
I'll park over a few spots, but only if I've got the truck and horse trailer, and we stay waaay in the back of the parking lot so I can get out again later
(I did manage to parallel park the rig once to go to a Dairy Queen. That was an experience, let me tell you)

I don't really believe it, but it's worth checking out."My experience has taught me one thing. A shaved cat is much angrier than an unshaved cat."

Quoth Polenicus View PostMy favourites gotta be the people without handicapped stickers parking across TWO handicapped spaces. That requires a special, limited-edition style suck.

Locally though, people are not exactly kind to people who can't park. It's usually pretty bad during the winter. Somehow, not being able to see the lines makes people park in the aisle (usually behind another car that's legally parked!), on the sidewalk, in the middle of the road, etc. And yes, people *do* mess with their cars--everything from leaving notes, to keying them, to breaking windows, and flattening the tires. I don't do that, but I do enjoy seeing them get what they deserve. Sorry, but I don't tolerate stupidity.Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

Quoth evilhomer View PostYou'd get someone try to squeeze in anyways, or someone causing deliberate damage because you're parked like a dumbass.
I don't try to squeeze in much anymore, because my car is only a year old, and also because it's not as easy to squeeze into some places as the old one. Although, about a month or so ago, we went to the movies, and the only spot I could see was next to this car that was parked so that the passenger side tires were right on the line, so I squeezed in there. The owner, who looked like she was barely old enough to drive in the first place, was still in the car, got all annoyed and started complaining, until her friends pointed out that she was right on the line. I think she actually re-parked it after that.
I don't always get in the lines on the first try, but if I don't, I back out and try it again. Ironically, the only time I got a nasty note about my parking was when I had parked slightly crooked, but was well inside the lines.Sometimes life is altered.

One year two of my brothers and I went to one mall here that has two underground parking garages on a Saturday during the Holiday shopping season. We went to the one that is usually less full than the other, since it's farthest from the three entrances into the mall parking lots. Drove through the entire garage and did not see a single space. My brother who was driving was about to leave when I noticed a Ford Escort taking up two spots in the far corner. Told him to go over there and myself and my other brother would move it. It was one of the smaller 2-door hatchbacks, can't weight more than 1500-1700 lbs, so each of us got on a wheel well, and would lift/push it, till we moved it over into one spot.

I've told this before but it's always worth another go...
In the college housing areas, where tenants only have a one or two car driveway (or NONE at all!) and random party goers and self centered idiots park in their driveways or take up all available space, if it's a small enough vehicle, it's not uncommon to see big burly college guys picking up the offending cars and moving them.
