I just found the location of the group W bench.

Truck is parked there, like that, most days.

Caught a trifecta at Ralph's tonight. Two in the fore ground at an angle and one in the back ground doing the same thing. I guess someone thinks they're a trend setter.

McIntyre actually, but close enough. Well done!

With the exception of the possible non-permitted handicap plaque, I see no issue with taking away someone elses parking space. If given the opportunity, I would do that regularly to increase the buffer zone next to mine.

I'm going to assume the driver wanted more room for their passenger to exit the car. It's a handicapped space..... for the handicapped. Otherwise, I see no harm in not staying parallel within the painted lines as long as it's not inconveniencing anyone else. As the owner of the car next to his, I would appreciate that move as well. More buffer space between doors is good with me.

I suspect they've seen, at this particular place (and/or others like it), someone park in the non-spot, limiting their ability to utilize the handicapped parking place. Looks to me as though they were simply preempting that eventuality, something I'm okay with, assuming they have a handicapped plate and are themselves disabled.

Mini-rant, but I suppose this is the place to vent. Rode the moto to work today. In our parking garage, our surgery center has 4 spots (tandem 2x2) next to the surgery center exit. It's so families can pick up their loved ones. The spots are marked for the surgery center.

I rode the moto, so I parked the bike tucked between two spots in the back, to allow for others in our office and for patients' families to pick up their post-operative loved ones. After a 12-hour day and as the last one to leave the office, I came out to find my bike blocked in by two cars. Granted it was after 5 pm, but the spaces are marked for the surgery center and again, my bike had no way to exit.

WTF is wrong with people? Even if they thought it was after hours so they could do whatever the fk they wanted, why park to block someone else in? And they parked far out enough in the tandem spots to prevent me from scooching around them due to large concrete pillars. So they parked so THEY weren't blocked in, but they also parked to block ME in?!

I was able to squeeze out a spot over between another car and a concrete pillar, but left them notes as to their selfishness and that next time they'd be towed (as per the sign on the wall in front of where they parked).

Aiding and abetting douchery. Tow them or do nothing...they probably threw the note on the ground.

Hmmm. The Hummer owner must think he's handicapped by just owning one. However, it's not official and it's still unacceptable. Someone should have used his winch to hang it from the nearest tree.
