The driver was coming out to get in the truck and asked why I was taking pictures. I told him there is web site for "people that park like a d'bag and I was going to post his truck on it" He was pissed and blazed out of there.

I have been contemplating creating a FB called D'Bag Drivers, just to post pix of this type of parking, people tossing their cigarette butts out trash, ect. Maybe a bit of public humiliation will get them to clean up their acts.

In the early days of the Internet, there was a guy commuting from Santa Cruz to Silicon Valley who took and uploaded pictures of "dick moves" on Highway 17. It was pretty classic. You'll be amazed to know the BMW drivers dominated.

Since Techweenie sort of sequed to sociological evidence for dirt-bagness (okay I made the leap), there was a recent UCBerkeley study on the behavior of those with and without wealth, in both real and in role-playing experiments.

Exploring the Psychology of Wealth, 'Pernicious' Effects of Economic Inequality

One of the 7 studies was to observe the brands of vehicles that would yield to pedestrians waiting at a crosswalk. You might hazard a guess as to the types of cars that blew past the potential street crosser.

It might be interesting to actually calculate, based on this random and anecdotal thread, the percentage of high end vehicles pictured in douchbag parking lot poses.

The exceptions, of course, are those owners who post on this thread.

First, it was just the Kia, then the guy in the Golf parked without even looking at the lines. Probably just assumed the Kia wa parked correctly. Both douchebags I my book.

Sorry. I mistakenly used those terms interchangeably. I suppose there is a definitive difference.

I'm liberal enough to give a tentative pass to potential douchbags who park that way in empty lots.

In the TV series, "The Last Man on Earth", the lead character hooks up with a neurotic woman (the last one) who, among other things, insists they obey stop signs and not park in handicapped spaces.

I like the motorcycle littering video. Littering is a huge pet peeve of mine. Pretty much the epitome of lazy and worthless.

I had to park my Superduty F250 4x4 just like that last Sunday when I went to Chipotle resturant. There were 10 empty spaces out in front of the building, but I chose to stay out of the tight spots and angled into a straight spot on the side of the building where not many people go. I actually thought of this thread as I was doing it.....what a douche bag !
