It was mentioned a few pages back - sometimes the lot is empty now but becomes crazy full later that day.

REPEAT OFFENDER ALERT!
Same parking lot and same car as post 1141. Different 2 spots though. How does this guy keep finding 2 adjacent spots?

In my book, a discovered repeat offender requires special treatment. I'll leave it to you.

Perhaps mailing his F/R license plates to the local PD w/the above photo? They can contact the owner to retrieve them.

Thank goodness you don't have dial-up. Could you imagine how mad you'd be if you waited 5 minutes for that to load?

Parked like this all day partially blocking intersection and crosswalk. At least a ticket was issued by the end of the day.

If that is a mostly empty lot and he is in the back section it doesn't bother me. ^ The jeep.

Douchebag parking job of the day. And don't you know I parked my cart right up against his rear bumper since he was blocking the cart corral.

I would have shoved my cart into the corral even if that car was scratched.

Was there an alternate available. I'm guilty of this with a trailer, usually 7-6 spots. I go for a street spot if there is space, but usually the alternate is usually block traffic or fire lane.

I have thought that a non-destructive way to solve the problem would be one of these.



Back when I owned a miata, I had some douchebag in a crew cab dually parked like that behind me. I was only barely able to back out of the park because of the angle and wide-ass that his truck had.

I backed my truck into a spot at the kids' school last week. As I turned around to lock it I noticed that I had parked over 1 of the lines. I said to myself> "that was a dumb thing to do." Before I could do anything about it, another car pulled in beside me so I figured it wasn't worth moving at that point.

I gave myself a good talking to over it, though.

My daughter said "Dad, you parked wrong, you are supposed to be BETWEEN the lines."

Thank you dear princess for noticing.
