This. Who cares where other people park? FWIW I try and park next to landscaping so only one side of my car is exposed.

There are some people who park that way just to call attention to their "sweet" ride. In fact you often notice a few friends parking together like that, taking 2 spaces each, with their front wheels turned the same direction to show off their sweet Z-rated tires and the alleged brotherhood of their "crew". So yes, those people annoy me.

But to be honest, I reserve the most hatred for the "creepers" who sit around wating for a spot close to the store. They could have parked 5 minutes ago, but no, they have to creep around waiting for someone in a close-up spot to leave.

Wonder how much of that is inability to parallel park near granite curbs

I'm thinking curb strikes while driving...

You know, I noticed while in Minnesota for Christmas last year, our parking spaces are larger here. Maybe it's the average number of trucks and larger vehicles...

I love shoe-horning my truck into tight spaces. They aren't going to ding me - their doors can't reach. Hell, I'm not going to ding them either as my door is over their window I watched a mom get into her minivan from the back sliding door one day, I applauded.

If I park in the back of the lot, it's to get the hell away from people. Or, it's to just park because there are too many of the creepers waiting for a front spot. I won't lie, it does bother me when someone parks around me with their hoopty when I "plant a parking seed" away from everyone else. I don't take more than my own space though...

How fucking self righteous can you be? I would be disgusted with myself/anyone else if I saw that happen.

What? Rather than ding the vehicle next to her.... she went in through a door that slides.
