At work, I try to park as far away from the cotton trees as I can. Sometimes, I'll even take two spots
Last week I took two spots and one of the techs. walk up to me and he's like, "who parked that BMW? Typical BMW owner". I didn't say anything

This is how you get dents on your door. My only question to a lady was, why would you park next to me when the parking lot is empty? No answer...
Bad pic, but you can see those dents... |

The odd occasion I have to use a multi storey car park I park next to concrete support, that way at least one side is protected.

Happens occasionally, and once I'm sure even on purpose. Had parked my E90 all alone and returned to a dirty lifted pickup right next to me. And they wonder why people dislike trucks.

in my experience, the people who do this to me are also the worst parkers i've ever seen in my life. Whenever I park way out in buttfuck nowhere, and I've come out to someone parked next to me, that person is without fail crooked to the point of being over the line. Multiple times i'll get myself a corner spot and wedge my car against the "end" side leaving 3+ ft of room between myself and next the parking spot, and I'll come back to a car parked so close to where my passenger would need to wiggle in. I do not understand the lack of braincells needed to not only fuck up something as simple as slowly maneuvering your car between 2 lines, but moreso for those people that check their shit parking job after the fact and think "nailed it" and leave it. It doesnt help that a lot of these people also kick open their doors like theyre auditioning for the role of Leonidus in 300. Jackasses without an ounce of spatial awareness whatsoever

Always thought it was some sort of tribal thing, strength in numbers. A car by itself attracts the assholes and the stupid.
To many people just don't care, it's a tool for getting from a to b. Clarkson said: If you don't care about cars, you don't care about driving. If you don't care about driving, you won't be any good at it. Last edited by Frostynorth; 07-03-2022 at 07:43 PM.. |

The way that busted up POS is parked in front of your bike, it would take every ounce of restraint for me to not knock it over to move my bike out. |

I think i mentioned this here before but whatever. I don't spend wasteful money easily so agonised over a 997 for years, finally bite the bullet and long story short, take the family out to a local park for the kids. Shit-tons of spots, i park with legit 6 empty spots on each side, car sitting there all shiny and freshly cleaned an porschey and shit.
I am sitting in the park staring at the sky or whatever and i see the range rover pull in RIGHT beside. Then out. Then in. Then out. Then in. I've seen porn with less pulling in and out. I get up and start walking over and the family climbs out of the box on wheels, seems like the oldest daughter may have been learning? It was fucking BRUTAL to watch, was seriously worried she was gonna ding it up. So I go inspect and the ENTIRE LEFT SIDE (the side near my car) of the rangey was scratched to shit, not deep, like it had side swiped a low hanging tree branch/leaves. Why on god's green earth would you choose to park near the most expensive car in the lot, with empty spaces all around, if you're that much of a fuck up of a driver? |

That was one of the reasons not to switch to an i8, because my garage isn't wide enough to open the doors w/o damaging them at the walls.

From some of these observations, I'm starting to think that perhaps we're not the bad people for parking diagonally across three parking spaces.....
