This person pulled straight into a 45 degree parking spot. I'm parked on the left. It's a daycare and I'm curious if their kids can color inside the lines yet.
Keep in mind that in these situations it's not always their fault. Sometimes two other people have pulled in straight and they're the third. Then the other two leave, and they just look like an ass.
Or maybe they're just an ass. Can really go either way.
I always try to remember this. SOMEONE is an absolute idiot in situations like this, but it's not always the most obvious one.
Also: someone going super slow in the fast lane. It's not always the car in front of you, especially if it's a big car. Sometimes there's a little car in front of em.
Because then you’re inconsiderate to the person already parked there. There’s a point where you need to fit with actual behavior of other vehicles rather than stand your ground for the rules regardless of reality
From this angle, I feel like the white car's right rear (or front too?) wheel would hit the curb if a previous car tried parking like the middle car. Or maybe there is more space to white car's left than it seems. But I'll still vote ass.
Especially because it looks like the curb is perpendicular to middle car's tires, which would put it on a 45 degree angle to the lines. Guessing somebody (maybe them, maybe not) pulled in straight to the curb and somehow missed the lines entirely.
Not a free pass. I just know there’s a peak level of exhaustion that makes you not notice or not realise your own actions.
There’s a reason there’s parents accidentally leave their baby in a hot car. Or leave their kid in the bath tub and walk off. Once you go through it you know and you have to be so careful. Luckily this person (assuming they didn’t do it on purpose) just parked badly and didn’t hurt anyone.
Luckily the worst I’ve ever done was put the milk in the pantry and cereal in the fridge
No, must be malicious intent and them showing off their superiority, because on here (just like on reddit) people are mostly imbeciles that can only see in black and white.
I mean "asking to get his car keyed" what kind of people are commenting here?!
It's a fucking daycare, how long does it really take to get his kid and get out? 5 minutes?
This person is a parent, likely going to teach their kids also be lazy, inconsiderate goons.
We live in a society. Park in the lines, put your shopping cart in the corral, stand on the right side of the escalator... these are basic things a person does to make life a little less inconvenient for others. L
Asking to get his front keyed too. I hate people blocking sidewalks with their private crap. You guys already own the majority of infrastructure space and still have the audacity to pull this and similar shit constantly.
Not everybody can achieve the right angle on their first try. It takes a real master. There’s no shame in that diagonal parking. It happens to the best of us sometimes.
If there are no cameras or people nearby who can watch, I'd just key those vehicles to teach them a lesson. Assholes doing this type of shit, no matter who they are, deserve punishment and keying their vehicle isn't even that bad of a punishment.
To be fair, it’s much easier to just park within the lines and realize that there are people out there who will absolutely do this. If you think that it will never happen to you and it does, you’re kind of an idiot and got played because of it
I'll admit I'm the asshole in the situation, but if I parked badly only to come out and see someone had keyed my car, I might get the message that I need to park better.
Also, having a super pristine vehicle doesn't matter to me as much, so having it repainted after someone keys it wouldn't be my first priority by a long shot. Probably close to the very bottom of the top 10 priorities for me in that position.
That's what people who park like assholes tell themselves. It takes ten extra seconds to straighten out and park correctly.
The daycare I take my kids to, there are six regular spots in front of the building and two handicapped spots. There's tons of parking on the side of the building, it's just not as convenient.
Without fail, there are mothers who will absolutely park in the handicapped spots if the other spots in front are taken. Some of them will even park their massive SUV in BOTH handicapped spots. It blows my mind, the privilege these people display. They can park on the side of the building and walk an extra ten feet like s normal human being, but no... they are more important than anyone else.
I make sure to point out to my kids that those people are breaking the rules because they don't want to deal with a very slight inconvenience.
