Trying aside, the trend is people don't care. Finding considerate people is getting harder and harder to find.

Looks like he was trying to take up 2 spots so his car doesn't get scratched. Bad idea in a crowded lot.

On your way back to your car, take a picture of all the scratches that will be on it.

Whenever I see somebody take up two spots I am overcome with the urge to kick their door in. Don't worry, I haven't done it.....................................yet. If you followed the lines like everybody else, I'd leave you alone.

Malls should have old men in golf carts driving around writing tickets for that.

Step 1: Hire old guys to write tickets for $6/hr
Step 2: Charge $25 a ticket
Step 3: Profit

I love to see stuff like this when im driving my beater 91 explorer

The other day we were going out to dinner and the lot was packed. I found a new IS250 parked straight in the middle of two spots. I carefully pulled my explorer into half of one of the spots on the drivers side. My tires were just on the line so I was still in the spot and not affecting the person on the other side. However there was no way you could walk between our two vehicles. We were meeting some people so as I stood in front of the resturant I kept watching to see if anyone approached the car. Finally two younger women walked up and started swearing up a storm. The driver had to get in the passenger side and crawl through

^ Good job. those bitches deserved it.

Now the only time I can see someone NEEDING to take up 2 spots is if it is one of those 4 door trucks with extended bed on giant wheels and al that good stuff. But who drives those anyways?

i think he was extremely happy to see that, because of less snow now in Chicago, there wasn't a huge white plowed-up mound sitting on the corner spot...hey when you drive a grand Prix, you gotta get overly excited about something.

Nice I would have loved to see the look on their faces.

Revived!

This douchebag has been parking like this for the past few days in the parking lot at work. Finally saw a note that either the rent-a-security-guards or another person put under their wiper.

I mean seriously... you are sticking out like 7 feet... and it's an Acura

My office window faces the parking lot. Yesterday I watched some guy in some import peel out & then park across 3 parking spots in an empty section of the parking lot. 3 horizontally! Then him & the girl he was with got out like nothing & walked across the parking lot holding hands into the building. I was like WTF is wrong with people!

The guy must figure he pays taxes and he's taking his chunk out of the middle of the road.

we were out eating and we parked at the far end of a parking lot. What do you know, a pos pickup truck parked so close to our car and put a ding in it.

I took my knife and scratched the hell out of the side of his POS and i let the air out of his tire and damaged the valve stem so he couldn't fill it back up with air.

Reminds me of when I had to stop by the grocery store last week before work at like 7am.

There was literally maybe 1 other car in the lot and I didn't even park in the closest spot but a few further from it. As I come back to my car I see a guy parking in the spot in front of me, not next to me but right in front of me (you know two cars park per aisle). Not only does he pick that one spot but he chooses to BACK INTO that spot. So with 200 open spots and 2 filled spots in the entire fucking parking lot he decides to park right in front of me. I could have gotten in my car and put it in drive and driven off but this mother fucker makes me put it in reverse and then drive off. When I got to my car I was just standing there like... are you fucking serious? I stood there for like 30 seconds in wtfmode and just left.

Is there a crappy parking job thread? If not this should be turned into that.

When I was in Colorado this spring break, we were on the way back to the airport and stopped at this strip mall that we always stop at. Whoever plowed for the lot had pushed all the snow up to one half of a parking spot and it was about 1 foot tall. This one lady decided she could make it, so she parked like this...
