I saw this one in progress. We were leaving a restaurant and this lady pulled in with the Yukon. The Jeep was already parked and the driver was in the restaurant. The dumb broad had an open spot to the left, she had room to back up and pull in straight and give the jeep room, but nope, she was important. She just waddled into the restaurant leaving the jeep driver a real challenge to get out of there.

Agreed.
When faced with conspiracy or stupidity, the smart $$ will be on stupidity every time.

I see alot of this behavior in many situations here recently. People are so focused on themselves, or thier phones, and through bad planning on their parts, are constantly in a rush. They don't have time to notice thier surroundings, or the inconvenience they are making for others.....just go to a grocery store if you don't believe me, and look at the way they weild/park thier shopping carts.

ProTip: if you're going to take two spaces, make sure your car will start when you go to leave

Oh no you dit-int!

You can't hint there's more to the story than the photo reveals and then not finish that story.

This Lambo driver pulled up and parked outside my place yesterday.
The road is a gentle slope. He got out and walked on up the hill as I watched his car roll down the road ,,, So funny, Made my day

That is why they call it a "Parking Brake", not an "Emergency Brake"!

Your photo belies the gentle nature of the slope.

Harley riders always seem to climb to the top of the douchebag food chain. I've been tempted to buy a case of cheap bike locks to leave as a "presents" for guys like this.
