Is it that kind of "gym"?

Lots of dick waving.

The driver was likely only concerned about getting a shady spot and wasn't as concerned about others doing the same. Backing in is more likely to result in assymetrical parking placement - many very nice people don't give a rats ass how well they are placed.
To wit: Parking Fail Blog

Not everyone can pull a world record parking job!

Did anyone here say this was even a serious problem, let alone their biggest one? What thread did you mean to comment on?

Rick, seriously. Shoot the mother.

No, as I said, he's a regular here and has done this plenty of times before and not always in the shaded spaces. In fact, the last time I saw him, it was in the unshaded spaces and he had pulled in forward with the dividing line right under the center of his car.

This Whole Thread and the comments How anyone can get so worked up over nothing...A Parking job !........... OMG !
Hope your life styles never really do suffer a calamity ..I do not think you can handle it if this is all it takes to drive you all over the EDGE !
I hope this clears it up.........
Not sure how I was not clear anyway

Afterburn, it seems you're more worked up than anyone else. Parking my bike, taking that photo and picking up that card off th ground took less than 30 seconds. I didn't touch his car other than to read that card under his wiper blade. I didn't put it there. I didn't hang around, waiting for the guy and I didn't go to the trouble of having those cards printed up. Aand my bike was no closer to his door than another car would have been, had they both parked in their own spaces.

It's actually entertaining to see the haters here exaggerate this into some federal case, when I did nothing more than vent to other car enthusiasts about a d'bag with a beat up, cheap car and rebut a few of the potential excuses others made for him here.

The reason this thread has gone to three pages is that the act of taking two spaces really irritates most of us here. It doesn't matter what car one drives. When a person pulls onto a center line and takes two spaces, he's basically telling everyone that his car deserves two spots because its so special and needs more room. All he or she is doing is drawing attention to the car and risking a key job by some other pissed off parker who doesn't give a rip about the nice car he drives.

There's a grey Cayman that parks in the back of the AA employee lot near where I park my 996 who ALWAYS takes two spaces. It's a little embarrassing to me as a Porsche owner because his act makes us all look like self centered pricks (which is what most people think we are, so we don't need any reinforcing of that idea). I want to leave a note on his windshield one of these days and tell him to get over himself - from the guy who owns the red 996 next to his car.

You seem to be the only angry one here, perhaps you park like this and are feeling defensive?

The world is full of BS. Some BS is major and some is minor, but it's still BS. Bad parking is minor BS, but still BS. It's our job to fight against it. If we don't point it out it'll just get worse.

With shady parking spaces in Arizona being a scarce commodity, when some dikwad takes up 2, it just perpetuates the "it's all about me" attitude that is rampant in society these days. Not the end of the world, but it's right up there on the frustration scale of the a-holes that cut in at the last minute in slow traffic.

One parking job I DO get pissed about...people using handicapped parking spaces who don't have permission to do so...:mad:

Me? worked up ? and ANGRY ? WOW--LOL Transparently my words and thought are being used and confused...
Like i said.....".wish a parking job was my biggest problem" and, to have to run to BBS board and post it...to vent it
I feel no notion of anger....or even worked up....my advice was to to go smell the flowers..dont let the bees bother you.
done

Lmao. I would bet my next paycheck that when the guy first saw the note on his window his first thought was some chick left him a phone number. Haha. That's just how those guys think. #knowwhatimean?

Work today pay today is slow right now so my next paycheck won't be much
.

it is if you live in Mesa ;)

:D:D:D:D Zing!

Pee on his door handles, all of them.....leave a note......

How nice, or how expensive does a car have to be to earn two parking spaces?

Likely the guy is just a d-bag but the car could hold sentimental value for him.

My 1st car was a POS, still, I washed and waxed every dent, scratch and rust spot every weekend.

It was much more than just a car. It represented a milestone, personal achievement, coming of age.

Never been to New Jersey or New York, have ya?.....
