I see a lot of folks that could use random acts of smoking weed kindness. Hahaha
Nah, that small mount is vomit-inducing and grotesque for me—dry heaving and coughing fits from the odor. To each their own. Also, it would be killing my job and retirement plans. Not worth the shit that goes with it. Never understood why people who do that don’t understand why their lot in lot in life doesn’t improve. Not trying to get political—cause you know, @JAY likes to shadow ban.

Parking at the end of the lot where it’s dead and someone parking next to you, feels almost as bad as someone intentionally using the urinal next to you when there are 4 others open at the opposite end.
It’s ok if they comment on the nice watch I have though right?!

Eh that’s plenty of room unless your fat

I can say this as I am fat

And you’re mad because she did exactly what you say that you do park close to one side of the line now granted she is on the line but same concept
It's really a pain in the rear though. It makes it next to impossible to seat a small child that uses a car seat. I park far away just so I can be sure no one gets so close I can't open the door far enough to get my daughter in her carseat. The short rear jeep doors help, but sometimes people get so close you still can't get full range to get in and out of the car seat. I guess I should have bought a minivan. To get a little kid in/out, you need to open the door all the way.

When people park like that that, it adds another degree of difficulty to seating, unseating a toddler or infant and buckling then up.

She actually came out of the medical clinic and I saw her walking towards the van as I was getting into my Jeep. I asked her politely why she would park so close to my Jeep when there were so many other empty spaces to the left of her van. She bluntly told me that she was a caner survivor and that she didn't hit my Jeep. I told her I was sorry that she had been ill and to please leave a bit more room between vehicles next time. She actually got nasty with me about telling her how to park so I told her to go to hell and left. (I know I should of not said that but up till then I was more than nice to her!)
WTH is wrong with you? Wow.

I wish I didn’t have real life issues to deal with and got riled up about trivial stuff like this to the point of taking a pic and posting on the internet about it.
I thought that others here would be interested and that they might have run into the same situation. Guess I was correct because of all the responses and other parking examples of inconsiderate drivers. If you do not like what I posted, by all means ignore it!

Really? I didn't think you were supposed to belittle other members of this Gladiator forum. It is too bad that you are having a bad day. I hope things get better for you!

I once had a girl from seattle visit me in denver. Her car was parallel parked inches between cars. I thought that they must have boxed her in. Nope. When we left, she took about 6 turns and pulled out of that spot.
Big city parking is often take what you can get.
I remember that every time I see someone parallel parked that close.

That being said, that person that parked in front of you, I got no words for. Hahaha.

That dude, ?, is the one you are behind on the freeway, in the left lane, and drops 10 MPH (phone/text) and cannot understand why you are mad when you pass them on the right.

That picture makes me cringe. I usually always park far away but sometimes this winter I'll park a little closer if my wife and 9 month old is with me...well we finally had a nice day today in Ohio and washed and waxed my truck and found a small dent from some POS hitting my truck. Put me in THE worst mood. No one would notice unless I pointed it out but I know right where it is and it's all I can think about today lol
Ha, well I can tell you the exact location and approximate (sometimes exact) date of every ding on my old Dodge. Same thing, I don't think anyone else ever notices them - But I do. 15 years later and, .... I do.

Well, if I confront someone about anything and being polite, if thier excuse is because of a medical condition, gender etc I don’t think it automatically gives that person to be an a**hole. I’ve had a couple run ins like that, I feel for em but dont really care if they are acting a fool. Most recently I tore into a guy in a wheel chair who was harassing my wife. Don’t care your a cripple if acting like an idiot.

People will use whatever excuse as a crutch when they realize they have no logical, valid reason to support their idiotic actions. Some folks stay with their childish, learned behavior forever because they never got their ass whupped the first time they pulled that stunt on their parents.
