It's one thing to document a parking pig, but unless their oinkish love affair with space is brought to their attention, they're destined to repeat the practice. If you're going to go to the trouble of snapping, then uploading a pic, how about instead leave a note or other evidence of displeasure of their anti-social behavior? Public shaming is often, but not always, an effective deterrent, esp. in a big city.
Ms Vauxall's response in bmcuscgr94's post @ #1109 was commendable, but with a young child in tow, I wouldn't have demonstrated the patience she demonstrated waiting 30 min., especially had I known of his weak "apology" after the fact. A less sympathetic curmudgeon would have deflated at least two Audi tires.
In my neighborhood of narrow streets, I seem to constantly end up playing daily games of chicken with perhaps those same parking savants, individuals who seem to have a fixation for middle-of-the-road driving. Or perhaps they just feel entitled to the whole road and not move one Botts Dot width over for on-coming traffic despite yards of empty curbing on the right. My only recourse is to poise a twitching trigger finger ....... on the horn button and try a blast as they pass within a foot of my stopped (essentially parked) car.
