You Park Like An Idiot

Subnuts · 05-21-10, 08:12 PM

I like to practice my own form of vigilantism - not with bullets, but with pixels. Few things irritate more than people who park diagonally across multiple parking spaces, park illegally in handicapped spots, park down the line, park in access zones, and so on.

So enjoy these picture I've taken of people in my neighborhood parking like douchebags.

I hate it when people do that.

There's a whole site dedicated to this.

Unfortuantely the picture gallery is coming up with SQL errors (at least on my machine), so that kinda kills the fun.

I hate it when people straddle between two parking stalls. They do it on purpose because they think their special. When i had a beater car, if they leave *JUST* enough room, i'd park right next to them and block their driver side door to where they can't open it.

We had a guy in our building who used to do that. He'd park his precious whatever-it-was (not an expensive, new, or especially "cool" car, either) so it was straddling two parking spaces... not only that, but he'd take two spaces right in front of the entrance (and thus closest to the door).

So I got in the habit of pulling in and parking right up next to him anyway, as though I didn't realize that I was also straddling two spaces as a result. Just parking in what looked like the next spot, doncha know. Then somebody else would do the same thing to him on the other side.

I used to love to look out my front window and see that.

BTW I was told by a relative who used to work for the building's manager that the same dude once called 911 because a utility truck went in and out of our lot on a wet day and splashed mud on his car as it passed.
