Parking adventures at work. Not people taking up two parking spaces, but making their own spots.

Pictures 1 & 2, the pickup is in a legal spot, someone parked next to them in what is not a spot, and then the Edge parked next to that car in the middle of the road.



Pictures 3, 4 & 5 is someone trying to make just one more spot at the end of a row.
I thought about sticking around to see how they were going to get out, but I had things to do.

My conversation with an ambulance crew

Me: "Are you on a call?'
A/C: "what?"
ME: "Are... you ... on ... a ... Call?"
A/C: "No"
Me: "Then get the hell out of my firelane and if I see you parking in it again I'll have you ticketed or towed. Just because you're driving an ambulance doesn't mean you get to park it anywhere you want."
I will not tolerate anyone parking in a firelane in my jurisdiction no matter who they are. It eliminates fire/ems/pd being able to get into a or service a building . As well, the biggest violators of parking in the wrong space tend to be the ones who need the walk

What's the deal with Bentley drivers recently? I can't tell what makes him a bigger tool. The parking or the wheels.

To put it into context,I ran across this one last week. Technically didn't take two spots so I reserved myself, but today's guy opened the door for another Bentley shaming.

This guy should get some bonus points for taking up 4 spaces, not 2! That's one that I would like to jack up and leave sitting on blocks!!

One of my friends was the retired fire chief of the local fire department. He said they rolled up to a fire alarm and a new BMW was parked in front of the fire plug. They just eased the bumper of the truck up to the BMW, and pushed it up against a dumpster. They put out a little fire, and made sure to write a ticket to the BMW owner. He said he parked there for "just a few seconds" to run an errand.
