Parking in Rome is fiercely competitive and parking spaces are in short supply.
Instead of dickheads taking up too much space, situations like this are far more common ↓

In this guy's defense, I think every spot in this parking garage is marked "compact," so maybe he overlooked the label painted on the ground. And this motorcycle stall is probably only 3 mm narrower than the car spots.

Looking over the previous 10 pages it appears GM and Dodge drivers are in the lead, followed by Toyota and BMW.

Not 2 spaces but a space AND the lane cars drive in!

Semi-empty parking lot. Wide spaces. Yet can't park between the lines

And then you have the sPeCiaL nEedS motorcycle guys who think the sidewalk is their personal parking lot. I want to get some cheapo Chinese bike locks to install for cases like this.

Have you ever...in your life, seen a dude driving a Beetle convertible?
She is prob 'hot' and was in a hurry.
I would have no problem with that.

Looks like it wouldn't take much to keel her on over. I mean....it wasn't your fault.....bike was right in the middle of the freaking sidewalk. And you were busy checking email on your cell phone......

I had an old boy park his Acura nsx sideways on 2 handicapped parking spaces. He had no tags saying he was handy capped. I walked by and he and his hot sexy broad jumps out and heads into the store. I stared at him and he just laughed and walked away. I finished my purchases and the care was still there as I pulled out of the parking lot. LOL!
