Well Byron I WAS driving the truck and I DID park it in the space. But I came out before they did so a moot point I guess.....

This person thought their car was "special" at a recent car show

I can almost forgive such parking at a car show, since they often park slanted for effect. But that car doesn't belong in any kind of show except a horror show.

Only once have I tried to inconvenience an inconsiderate individual who parked where they should not have.
Parking one of the dairy trucks at the end of a long day, I saw some one had parked their Camaro in our lot. I backed my truck in alongside the driver's door (less than 6 inches) and when the next driver returned with a truck, got him to slot it in on the other side.
I can only guess the fellow must have opened the hatch and crawled into the driver's seat later that evening, but the car was gone next morning.
I never saw it parked in our lot again.

I haven't read all the posts here but I think this jamoke gets the d'bag of the year award. He/she is right on the front parking spots when there were plenty towards the back. It's a nice restaurant I have breakfast at when I'm in New Holland Pa. A lot of older people frequent the place and taking this many spots up front is just plan wrong!

I haven't been around this thread for awhile. 270 posts about taking up multiple parking spots in half-empty lots? Is there no limit to trivia?
