Do you attract bad parkers?

Quasimodem · 12-22-2013, 03:35 AM

Do you ever come back to your car to find that all the cars in your line are parked fine EXCEPT the car next to yours, whose driver cant seem to see the lines painted on the lot? I mean really, I suppose they are using the adjacent cars to guide their parking, and I do park way over to stop door dings, but I feel like carrying a couple of Road hazard cones and putting them on the parking lines around my car.

Now I know there are worse horror stories out there, but I am not claiming this is a worst case situation -- but it almost always happens!!!

Maybe I should carry a preprinted note to put under people's windshield wipers kindly asking the to respect the lines painted on in the parking lot when they park their cars, the lines are there for a reason.

Maybe you should just be glad your parking buildings have such gigantic spaces between cars in the first place. And then relax a bit.

This is far from even being considered a bad parking job. What a joke!...Remember, you only have a 3 series (had to say it as you were being ridiculous)

Who cares if it's "only a three series" op spent his money on something and he obviously wants to maintain it and keep it nice. You may not care about your possessions but other people do.

You sound like a pompous a**.

No- but I do attract bad girlfriends- and not the good kind of bad- anybody want to help? I'm willing to pay you handsomely to listen

And there was a clear evidence that the car next to him dented his car...you think just because people park too close to you, they will automatically deny your car...

Yes in my parkade, there is a car that parks over my line. Had to put a sticky in their car to tell them to park in the lines. And also at work I have to park super super far so I don't have people dinging my doors up.

I am a fellow professional in that dept.

Here in Hawaii we have tiny parking spots, yet people still try to park their big-ass trucks into a "compact" spot. You have to park as well as drive defensively if you want to avoid these kind of problems if at all possible.

Maybe the Lexus driver sees the lines as merely a "suggestion" on where to park? Not a definite guide. lol

Hahaha! I was amazed to see the size of the parking space. You can park a small plane in there.

Here in UK you would only get so much space in a disabled spot. Basically, if someone next to me landed on a white line, getting in to the car will be uncomfortable.

+1. Who cares what car it is. It's common courtesy to park within your lines. The lines are there for a reason.

To OP that parking is not bad because there's tons of space in between. Last week a SUV decided to park in a compact space next to my car. I could not leave even if I was a Russian contortionist. I was nice to wait 45 minutes and went to Starbucks. The funny thing is there was a really ignorant and loud girl in there. She's under 5' and 200+lbs. it turns out it was her. And I've seen a lot worse during the holidays. Car parked sideways a la drift in a crowded parking lot.

9/10 someone has parked close to me I've had a door ding. I've been in my cars and watched people park next to me close and ding my car getting out.

But I believe you are missing the point, the lines are their for a reason it's obnoxious when someone parks over the line and makes it difficult for you to get in and dings your car. Also when someone parks extremely close the chances of getting a door ding greatly increase.

The point is, it's obnoxious when people park like d-bags.

Also nothing I said sounds pompous, and if you really think it's sounds obnoxious please explain.

I feel yah man. I've been at a gas station and some d-bag in a lifted truck got so close to my car when he was filling up I had to completely wait for him so I could get into my car. People really have no consideration for others and possessions.

insane79 · 12-22-2013, 04:09 PM

OP chill, there is crazy space between the cars, i doubt one can create a dent in that SPACE..

Umm..this is bad parking. I was pretty irritated.

TD27 · 12-22-2013, 07:42 PM

I've had to climb in the window. Another time the car was so crooked that the rear quarter panel was actually behind my car. I physically couldn't leave.
