Am I missing something? What is wrong with this picture? Looks within the lines to me.
ReplyDeleteJust barely with the front wheels. The back are on the line.
ReplyDeleteThis means it throws off the entire row of cars. People will start to move over so that they can get out of their vehicles. By the time they get to the end, there will be one space short.
I always park closer to the passenger side of an already parked car because I am capable of exiting my vehicle without smashing my door into the other car, unlike the majority of people who always seem to park on the other side of me.
ReplyDeleteWe can't see the other side of the car so who's to say they were not forced into the situation.
ReplyDeleteCome on people, really? Not within the lines enough to your liking? Give me a break.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I see it, it's now the Saturn owner's problem. Them things have long doors, and are a bitch to get into in tight spaces.
ReplyDelete@ anon...being in the lines does not equate to a good parking job.
ReplyDeleteIdeally, you are supposed to be centered in the spot, being on the line is not centered.
End of story.
Why can't people just let me address these first world problems!!!
ReplyDeleteI like this site, I really do, but really petty stuff like this makes me wonder who the real "jerk" is. Come on guys. It's one thing if people don't obey ACTUAL rules of the road, but this person is parked legally. Get a life.
ReplyDeleteI find sometimes that the perspective shown in the photos of these parking jobs does not really show how it looks when one is standing in front of the jerkyness. The photo is dark but the reality is that when one person decides to left or right wing it in a spot, it throws off the balance.
ReplyDeleteI get it, you don't like it. But the person who sent it in was irritated and I'm here to help with these first world problems.
I'm not working to fight world hunger. I'm working to teach people to center a damn vehicle evenly between two lines.
Sorry, did you say rum for all?
I used to have this hamster that refused to drink its water from the spigot attached to its water bottle. Instead, it used to bump the spigot and try to catch the drips of water with its mouth. Only he never could time it so that he was at the receiving end of the spigot at the time the water would drip out and he would then slurp the water from the puddle he'd create. I used to listen to this rodent bang the water bottle like a jukebox at 4 am or 1 am and then slurp for minutes at a time all because it couldn't drink water like a fucking normal hamster.
Then one day after months of coaxing him with my fingers and hands to drink from the spigot, he finally figured out how to drink from the spigot.
The way he was getting water wasn't effective. Sure, he was at least getting water but how he was getting it was pissing me off.
This is how some of us feel about parking.

ReplyDeleteAwesomeness.
If the car on the right were to park as close to the line as the dumbAss on the left then the guy in the car on he left would be pissed because he wouldn't be able to getinto his car and he'd blame the other guy when in fact it's his fault I begin with!!! It's a vivacious circle started by one guy who ant park evenly between the lines.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of car is to te right?.
ReplyDeleteI hope it wasn't me
I mean to the left
ReplyDeleteWow, I had no idea my photo would spark such ...reactions. Squiggles got it right and her comment is the exact reason why I sent CJ the photo.
ReplyDeleteIt was very dark this morning and my phone could not capture the full picture. Trust me, I tried.
The Saturn had parked at an extreme angle in the spot, butting up to the line on the driver's side and leaving a good 2 feet of space on the passenger side. The car on the other side of the Saturn was parked "properly" so I know the Saturn was not forced into the situation.
It is these types of parking jobs that irritate and annoy me because it was clear that the Saturn didn't even try to park properly.
Call me as many names as you want, but Squiggles and DF have stated my reasons for sending CJ the pic.
P.S. I don't know Squiggles or DF, but don't want to take up space by repeating their comments :)
