it's a range rover.
Chances are she didn't park it there, that's just where it broke down.

I saw a guy do that a while ago, I got so mad I beat the heck out of him with his mom's crutches!

Only two spaces? Employee parking Boeing Seattle.

The way things are going, they won't need all those employee parking spaces anyway.

Didn't have a chance to get a picture, but some clown in a F150 pulling a trailer took up at least 4 parking spaces, in the middle of the lot on the 4th of July. He deserved one of these.

Some guy took two at the cars and coffee this morning. I won't show the picture, but man, rookie move. You might get away with it if it was a Koenigsegg or a Veyron, but not a '60s sports/muscle car.

This guy took up 4 spaces, at least he was parked far enough and early enough not to matter and the van was still there when I finished my shopping.

8:30 in the evening. I think there were 3 cars in the whole parking lot . This guy crams right up behind me at Lowe's . He does not even fit in the spot . There were at least 8 other front row spaces available .

Looks like he did an excellent job of parking.
What else did you want him to do??

Interesting that you would think that way.
I always thought it safer to either back into a parking spot, or pull through , so that when I am exiting , I have a clear field of view of where I am heading .
My gf in my 20's was leaving her job at the mall one night, and backed right into a little girl that she could not see. It was really lucky that she only knocked her down , and no one was hurt, but she was really shook up about it .
I think the experts agree.

Mine was the beat up Chevy, not the Ford. Maybe that guy could have used one of the 200 other available spots? I fit neatly into my spot , no other cars around anywhere .
Maybe it is all the years in the auto biz. I always leave cars facing face out, so the customers don't have to struggle, or back into something when they are pulling out .

I think you parked just great. Chill out

You are correct... As Ed McMahon would say.

The reason is that in case of an emergency (at home or work or shopping) you want to be pointing in the direction that you can easily get out.

I did remember when people could make a joke. It seems like a distant memory . I'm on eggshells around here anymore. Thanks Jeremy !
