parking lot wonders

[Setec Astronomy]

I also am I bit perplexed...I personally never park like that, but as some others have said, I will cheat the lines a little bit, say on the end of a row, to make sure I have buffer to the next space, but preferably I park so far away that I don't need to worry (although however far you think you are, it never seems far enough...always seems someone parks next to you). There have been many threads on space selection, IIRC. I gotta agree with BigJim...this thread seems almost as weird for this site as mocking someone for liking a shiny car.

I also would applaud the guy if it's in the back of the lot, even if I wouldn't do that...I got broken of that many years ago when I took two spaces in front of the breakfast place at 6AM-ish, only to find on my way out a cop parked next to me "admiring" my parking job, who said "good morning" to me. Being a small town I figured he would remember me and his "good morning" was my warning.

well, sorry you don't see the point, setec. it's about respecting OTHER people by only taking one spot. taking up two is arrogant...i don't care what you drive...kia...corvette...benz...whatever.

the parking lot WAS full nearby. wow, that one spot remaining to the right will really help out. i guess i should have provided a wide angle pic to be more descriptive. the parking in the background is farther away across a street and for other businesses...and that's the point. should someone else walk that far just because the driver "needed" two spots?

i don't recall saying too much bad about the guy and specifically indicated i was not making fun of the brand of car....apparently some readers missed that as well.

if this thread shouldn't exist, then please, mods, please delete it. i would then think many other equally pointless threads could go away as well, but it's the HOT TUB, not the detailing sections...so general use.

Then what is needed is bigger parking spaces.

As I said, I never take more than one spot, but seeing someone else do it doesn't really push my buttons--sorry (I'm sure there's plenty of stuff that irritates me to no end that doesn't bother you a bit). I believe it was someone else who said this thread shouldn't exist; you have my support of your right to free speech.

I don't take up two spaces.. but I will park in "timbukfour" if it will protect my vehicle, or park on an end of a row and hofg the curb to put as much space betwen the next vehicle or vehicle that could park there.

There are too many inconsiderate SOB's out there who don't care about their vehicles.
