I was very tempted to squeeze my Suburban in there just because.

There's always room for more specialized parking spaces.

A Thread First

The photo below captures the illusive and frustrating Gas Station D-Bag! The guy, a real fatty, pulls up to the center blocking both pumps, leaves car running and goes into store for the drink of champions...a Diet Coke.

That next to A-holes tossing cigarette buttes out car windows is a pet peeve of mine, hell most places have parking spaces for people not getting gas.

Just today at lunch. This idiot parked right on top of two spots. The end spot is very wide and he could be on part of that but he chose to cover two spots.

No problem...we'll just move our car to accommodate your stupidity.

It's one thing to document a parking pig, but unless their oinkish love affair with space is brought to their attention, they're destined to repeat the practice. If you're going to go to the trouble of snapping, then uploading a pic, how about instead leave a note or other evidence of displeasure of their anti-social behavior? Public shaming is often, but not always, an effective deterrent, esp. in a big city.

Ms Vauxall's response in bmcuscgr94's post @ #1109 was commendable, but with a young child in tow, I wouldn't have demonstrated the patience she demonstrated waiting 30 min., especially had I known of his weak "apology" after the fact. A less sympathetic curmudgeon would have deflated at least two Audi tires.

In my neighborhood of narrow streets, I seem to constantly end up playing daily games of chicken with perhaps those same parking savants, individuals who seem to have a fixation for middle-of-the-road driving. Or perhaps they just feel entitled to the whole road and not move one Botts Dot width over for on-coming traffic despite yards of empty curbing on the right. My only recourse is to poise a twitching trigger finger ....... on the horn button and try a blast as they pass within a foot of my stopped (essentially parked) car.

I'm a proponent of (fairly gently, believe it or not) folding in the side-view mirrors of parking lot idiots. I'll admit to occasionally even making two passes - one down each side - so as to double the chances of increasing their own level of frustration.

If that doesn't come off easily, it's not funny.

Neither is parking in a handicap spot.

If the law allowed the parking patrol to tag cars with a handicapped stencil, I'll bet very few would park in handicap spaces without a permit...
