Pair of 300 Lb chicks gave me a nasty look after I took a photo of their great parking job.

To be fair, in that tny spot, a 300 lb chick exiting the driver's side would have hurt the car on the left pretty bad.

Thanks for not including a pic of the 300 lb chicks!

I'm pretty sure "MZ FEVA" felt less stressed after the chassis loss of 600 lbs.

Does it make me less of a douche when there is snow taking up 45% of the "other" spot?

I agree.

Which is why they should have parked with a space in between instead of some clusterfvk of a parking job....

Probably on their cell phones and couldn't focus on the driving/parking aspect of their existence...

I would usually take advantage of the big spot in the snow. Wider and at least 1 side of my car is protected.

There seems to be plenty of room on the end to park at an angle. Swinging door hits seem to be the most common mind-numbing moves by the masses.

Upon review...this pic isnt making my case. the spot with the snow looks huge, its not. My 540 aso looks much smaller than that Jetta, also not. strange.

Ill drum up some douchery and repost

I've said before that the parking garage at work is a veritable zoo of d'bag parkers. This was presented to me today:



Unfortunately, I couldn't fit the black car off the left side of the picture who parked on the line, nor the truck right next to me who parked...on the line.

But, 5 d'bags in one snapshot should count for something, right?

Yeah that look bad...

Up here even with of foot of snow on the ground, that hides the lines, it does not get this bad.

^^^^ heh heh. Looking at Pazuzu's picture above, if I ever get stuck painting the lines in a parking lot, I'm gonna make each space a different width. Just to fk with people.

Parked at a low budget steak place in Dalton GA.
I sort of understand why but look at the second pic: the lot was packed!

Lot packed or not - he still looks like a DB.

No, I meant to say that the packed lot made him more of a DB. The question is what do you do with a car that expensive when you go somewhere?

In other news, a DB at work (and another packed lot):
