This person pulled straight into a 45 degree parking spot. I’m parked on the left. It’s a daycare and I’m curious if their kids can color inside the lines yet.

    Keep in mind that in these situations it’s not always their fault. Sometimes two other people have pulled in straight and they’re the third. Then the other two leave, and they just look like an ass.

    Or maybe they’re just an ass. Can really go either way.

      I’d rather park my car almost touching the 2 badly parked cars, than to park outside of the lines.

      I don’t care if they are inconsiderate, I won’t be.

        Because then you’re inconsiderate to the person already parked there. There’s a point where you need to fit with actual behavior of other vehicles rather than stand your ground for the rules regardless of reality

          You’re wrong. Someone who’s inconsiderate enough to park like an asshole doesn’t deserve to be treated any differently

      I always try to remember this. SOMEONE is an absolute idiot in situations like this, but it’s not always the most obvious one.

      Also: someone going super slow in the fast lane. It’s not always the car in front of you, especially if it’s a big car. Sometimes there’s a little car in front of em.

    It’s a daycare so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and say it was a very tired parent

      It being a daycare makes it even worse.

      Then they should know which side they should approach a one-way parking lot, they drive there almost every day.

      Being a parent doesn’t give you a free pass to be inconsiderate.

      My money is on sleep deprived. Same thing for all intents and purposes. They are outside of a daycare.

      So not only did they double park, they were also driving the opposite way of normal traffic?

      Please take their drivers license.

    Not everybody can achieve the right angle on their first try. It takes a real master. There’s no shame in that diagonal parking. It happens to the best of us sometimes.

    If there are no cameras or people nearby who can watch, I’d just key those vehicles to teach them a lesson. Assholes doing this type of shit, no matter who they are, deserve punishment and keying their vehicle isn’t even that bad of a punishment.

      I was legit thinking of doing this today when I saw 3 cars parked like idiots in the lot. No cameras too. So tempting the more it happens.

        I’ll admit I’m the asshole in the situation, but if I parked badly only to come out and see someone had keyed my car, I might get the message that I need to park better.

        Also, having a super pristine vehicle doesn’t matter to me as much, so having it repainted after someone keys it wouldn’t be my first priority by a long shot. Probably close to the very bottom of the top 10 priorities for me in that position.

          So you’re saying that you would be ok with someone damaging your property that you worked to get just to know you parked wrong? Instead of a note or something

            I’d learn a lot quicker if a few people keyed my vehicle than just leaving a note and I’d get a punishment I feel is deserved, so yeah. Sure I’d be mad, but I’d in the end feel they were justified in their actions.

        To be fair, it’s much easier to just park within the lines and realize that there are people out there who will absolutely do this. If you think that it will never happen to you and it does, you’re kind of an idiot and got played because of it
