Parking humor at my expense
It's become so ridiculous, I'm starting to keep a picture record of my favorite parking experiences. I do my very best to park as far away from the average, unconcerned motorist who doesn't particularly care about their own vehicle or mine. I've returned to find a few interesting surprises.
Today at the grocery store... parking was limited due to sealing and line painting. I still found the most distant corner spot where I thought I'd be safe. Donald Trump "wrong". This one is a beauty... Mohegan Sun Casino, top of parking garage, miles from the elevator to the casino, NOT ONE other car in about four rows not seen in the picture. I'm talking about the full length of the garage, not one car and I come out to this... I try not to double park or play the angle game and I always try to occupy a spot which requires a hike to get to where I'm going. It's like someone is playing a joke on me. I may start handing out awards. |

HAHA this is funny! when I park sometimes I will see another BMW or Mercedez parked way in the back. than I have to take into consideration not to park next to them cause how would that look? lol! one time I was driving the Wifey's Honda Civic and parked at Home Depot way in the back. turned off the car and said "wait, we're not in the BMW?" so I drove closer and she said "WTF, cause it's my car and not your damn BMW?" Me: "well YEAH!"

This is where you reminded her of how she curbed your wheels. Or not!

I don't have pictures, so it never happened ... but ...
My F10 was not even one week old when I parked far from everyone else at the local Canadian Tire. Returning to my car, I found that some idiot had parked so close to my passenger side that there was no way he could exit his vehicle without hitting my passenger door. I, of course, took a look after pulling my car out of the parking spot since he was so close that I could not examine the door without moving the car. Sure enough, a fresh scratch and very mild dent were there. Did I mention that my car was less than one week old?!? Sigh.

That caravan definitely parked next to you on purpose to piss you off. I don't bother parking at the far end of the lot for exactly this reason. I just choose to park on the end of the aisle where I can straddle the outer line and maximize as much space as possible from an adjacent parked cars door. Most people don't realize you are trying to avoid doors dings and don't go out of their way to piss you off.

I laughed in tears when I saw this thread.
I believe most members in this forum would care about what his BMW looks like more than he himself does. That might explain why the OP is not the only one parks his car at the far end of the lot. I am, too. ps. The fact that every time my wife drives my car, her carefree style of parking tortures me hard. |

Is this the truth and the reason why tailgaters on the road drive silently to annoy slow drivers by tailgating? |

This just happened the other day. Was parked solo & this dude felt it was necessary to park next to me. What the photo doesn't show is the rows right across from me were empty as well...SMDH!
