I was guessing it was spray glue, but I think I see Scotch tape in that closeup.

Spray glue might be a little over-the-top... could possibly damage the paint.

Probably not but most sprinklers only run in the wee wee hours of the morning - this was at approx. Happy Hour.

Still - the car "could have" damaged a sprinkler head - as many of them are located immediately adjacent to hardscape.

I'm cool with what he did - better than taking up 2 spaces and parking crooked which makes you look like a douche - even if you aren't one.

Even the guys who drive older Porsches don't follow the rules! What a DB!



Wait a minute! That's my car!

Thanks!

For the record, the space to my right is not a space. There is a very large concrete support post for the parking structure, just out of sight.

Plus the fact you are indeed driving a "compact"!

Those spots were not compact, but ultra compact! I don't know where the guys that paint the lines get their measurements. Had I parked normally, my tires would have been on the white lines.

How about his guy? Seems he does not have a cell phone and needed to make a call. Instead of parking in the lot and walking to the phone, he parked n the sidewalk. Hey, it was 106* outside.

Does't look like the best place to park.
