People can't park

It was a couple of ladies up at Total Beverage on 104th and Washington. Car was parked about 4 feet away from the front of the space.

I watched a guy in a pickup pull through a space so he could pull straight out when he left, except a few feet of the bed was in the space behind him. He got out, walked back to look at his shitty parking job, and then just walked into the store. I saw 3 trucks today parked with their ass in the space behind them so that a car wouldn't fit in the space. And this isn't limited to pickups, I see idiots in tiny ass compact cars screwing up when they pull through. Must be a CO thing, as I never saw it in FL or NC.

Or tiny ass cars that pull in too far past their side and leave no room for a regular size vehicle to park.

This is a tough one. I consistently do that because my truck would stick out into the driving lane if I put the bed in the spot. Of course I park as far out in the lot as possible, or back into a landscaped area when possible. I pull through because I've been trained to 'combat park.' If anything crazy happened I can leave without needing to back up, therefore not getting trapped waiting to reverse to leave.

There is a distinct difference between not being able to physically fit into a space, and being able to fit and still going over the lines. I still key both vehicles, but at least with the large vehicle I give a silent nod of respect in acknowledgement of their attempt to fit before I shread their paint off with my Prius key.

I usually just look for a spot with a Prius parked in it and just park right on top of it.

Alright, who let their wife driver their Range Rover to work today? You could see the difference in camber on this thing from 5 car lengths away!

This guy was right in front in the 2nd space. If you pull the truck straight in the bed sticks out into the road, so what difference does it make? Easy solution though, don't park in the first few spaces and be a selfish bastard :)

Saw a guy yesterday park his pickup taking up 4 spaces in the first 2 rows of spots.
