Don't park like a jerk

(youtube) Sick of this guy taking up two spots every day, so we showed him you actually can still fit another car beside his.

I don't get why it took the guy 5 minutes to decide to crawl over to the driver's side of the car... I could see the complication if the passenger side was blocked as well. It was obvious that he wasn't going to fit in the driver's side even before he tried it, not sure why he even bothered with that, but then to spend 5 more minutes trying to figure things out... I mean he doesn't look so big as to make crawling over impossible or even difficult, just inconvenient, so why the long delay to finally do it?

Also I wonder if he even learned the lesson? Did he learn that his rich boys car isn't special and that taking up two premium parking spaces to protect his car isn't the nice thing to do? I'm not too bothered when some rich idiot takes up two spots with their nice car in the back of a parking lot far from where everyone else parks, though really, parking away from everyone else should be plenty, but when they do it in premium spots like here, that's when it becomes an issue. Add to it the guy is to much of an idiot to just crawl over right away...

He was a fat guy driving a sports car; likely easier said than done. I don't think he's been making it to yoga class recently.

Also, @lucky760, it looks more like a parking lot than a desert.

Is the other driver really a jerk for parking perfectly centered inside the lines? Or is everyone else supposed to bend over and take it when some dipshit decides he's more important than everyone else?

In the case of an intentionally bad parker with complete disregard for everyone else, yes, parking properly will help show him that he has to play by the same rules as everyone else.

The other driver would have been a jerk if he came in early the next day and parked across two spaces.

To protect his precious car, all that ass has to do is park closer to the curb, leaving a huge gap on the side of the adjacent space.

Be a jerk to those that are being jerks. That'll show 'em.

Did the guy (a dentist?) park like that to protect his car? How, by blocking the space beside so much that no one would bother parking there?

lucky760says...

Presumably, yes. It's pretty common practice for people, particularly with a new or expensive car, to park completely on the line between two lanes to avoid getting a ding in the door from someone parking too near. They'll do that and/or just park very far away in a large parking lot where no one else is likely to park.

I'm guess it took that long because he didn't want a gear shifter up his ass, and probably didn't want to accidentally let the car roll when it got stuck firmly up there.

I watched the whole thing though, quite amusing. Those guys wouldn't have done this if it were a one time occurrence. They knew the guy was a dentist and made far too much of a deal out of this for it to be the first time.

I was helping some friends move one day and they had paid to rent all the meters in front of the building. The meters had giant reserved bags on them and the whole 9 yards. When the meter maids came by, we had to show proof we could park there even.

So when get up to his 7th floor room, which overlooks the street when we ear a super loud vroooom. It's some expensive as hell Lambo with the giant engines visible in the back. Obviously I'm not a car person. . .

What does the douche do? Spends 5 minutes trying to park in our spot. Meanwhile, we were on the phone with the tow company "Yes, we have some reserved spaces and someone parked in them and now we can't get our uHaul truck in."

"Can you describe the car to me?"

I gave a meek description and he replied, "we'll be right there."

Best part? The guy was sitting in an outdoor cafe as he watched his lambo get towed. Should have read the GIANT ASS SIGN!

I know a guy who is super obsessive about his truck, but he doesn't do shit like take up two lanes, he just becomes obsessive about parking away from everyone else even if he has to walk farther,

Quite honestly, I get it..but I don't. I understand the desire to protect your car from dings and other shit. But not to that degree. just by virtue of taking it out of your garage and driving and parking on public streets, the vehicle is going to get dinged up eventually.

I guess I just will never understand the desire to buy a super expensive luxury car if you're just going to be super paranoid about dings...why drive it then. Be Cameron's dad in Ferris Bueller's day off and just stare at it and wipe it with a diaper all day.

cars get dinged...deal with it you're not special.

Thing is though, that guy isn't THAT fat, so it shouldn't have been that difficult for him to climb over. and once he committed to it, it didn't take him that long. It took him so long because he was choking on his own rage and basking in his over-inflated sense of specialness.

public shaming of douchebags like this need to happen more often.

Paybacksays...

You people assume because he has an expensive car, he parked like that on purpose. You completely ignore the high probability he just can't park for shit.

1. Buy a shit car.
2. Learn to park.
3. Learn to drive. (If you can't park. I suspect the driving skills match)
4. Sell shit car and buy the one you really want.
5. Everyone happy. Except those that are jealous of your new car and still think your a douche. Just smile and tell them you hope they have a good day. Also remember not to park like a douche.

When i was a kid. My family became really good friends with a family that had just moved to the US from Germany. In 76 the Father bought his wife a 1976 Celica Liftback GT, Brand new. It was the last car she ever owned. He offered to buy her several cars over the years she refused. Immaculately cared for that car. I honestly had never seen one taken care of as well as this one was. A few years ago she died and I went to the funeral. Her husband had died a few years earlier. While her kids were cleaning out the old house. They found it under a car cover in the garage. Pretty much being the only car guy they knew. They called me to come look at it. It looked exactly like the day it was driven off the showroom floor. Bright red, No dents, dings, No color fade outside or inside. A little over 46k on the odometer. It started and ran like new. I honestly had never seen a car that old in that good of condition outside of car collection or show. I was honestly amazed. No clue if they ever sold it. I would not have but you never really know what some people will do.
