Came out of the hardware store yesterday and noticed I was parked about like the silver car. I immediately thought of this thread and looked around for your cameras.

Pretty timely that this re-surfaces.. Last night only one spot even close to the restaurant and some douche back is over the line.. Since I"m on a cane I get out and have my friend back into the spot so it's passenger side to passenger side.
So she parks and the douchbag is in the car! unbelievable

I'm not really sure I care so much about trivia. With the world's problems at hand, much less those right here in Long Beach, it's just not a big issue.

I walked by a Rolls Royce parked on the sidewalk outside the performing arts center and gave it about 3 seconds thought.

I wouldn't give it any thought either, since it wouldn't have been taking up a parking space I could have used and would probably get a fat ticket if a cop saw it. The d'bags that take up two spaces in a crowded lot are a totally different issue that affects others.

I.....ummmm, extended an open invitation to find out how I would react.

If you came upon a Roller parked slap in the middle of a sidewalk you'd have gone flippin' berserk. Everything is in order in your world.

I too have a cane, don't need it all the time, but there are times, but mine has a sword in it, so I can easily adjust tire inflation

I should have taken a pix of a pickup with a boat/trailer taking up two spots. 2nd shift parking spots are hard to come by and he was there all day. Grrrr...

Mostly in his space, but I swear , there were only 4 cars in the entire Lowe's parking lot, and he parks right up on the backside of my truck. I had to load an air conditioner, and 4 bags of sakrete just a few inches from the front of his car. He busted me taking the pic as well. Notice it is a black Audi.

Had he parked further back you would have still snapped a picture of the ******* that left his car hanging out into the street. I see nothing wrong with that, he took the end spot and cheated to the far side to avoid dings. I do the exact same thing.

You do know that in less time than it took you to snap a picture and ***** that you could have just pulled your truck forward 12"? There's no unwritten rule that all pickups require a tailgate loading buffer zone.
