There is a G37 that parks next to me, we both take the same spots everyday. I get there 1/2 hour early to get that spot!
I generally do the exact same thing you do, but he had the end spot halfway taken. He always parks there too, but just never that far over..
I swear its almost like he does it unintentionally..

I have been known to spit on the windshield of particularly bad parkers. Right in front of the driver is the best spot!

That is insanely hilarious. I'm not even sure how you could not be embarrassed about such a job.

Also, sick avatar.

I try to park on the passenger side of people if I cant park away from everyone.... although I would probably be pissed if someone took up 2 places if its a packed parking lot, I would understand..... messing with someones car whether its spitting on it or keying it would definately warrant retribution.

If I walked out to see someone spitting on my car or keying it they would recieve 750k volts while I watched them flop around like a fish out of water..... Messing with someones car is just something I dont condone even if they are a douchebag.....

I try to park near a curb so I can pull as close as possible to save room.

At work I typically use 2 spots, but there's a lot of empty suites in our office park.

I know your location says eastern oklahoma, but that sure does look like SNU's parking lot in Bethany.

maybe someone parked like an *** in the spot you now have, and forced the tundra to move over so far?

You guys would love my office for parking.
It is a small office <20 people and basically it is just an open area behind the building. Three cars park near each other (2 mustangs & my Z) and everyone else leaves us alone basically and tries to get as close to the building as possible. We try to park nicely with enough space to respect each other, every so often someone in the office tries to be funny and park near us, it is not funny.

On campus I pay extra to park in a parking garage, top floor or one below is usually 65% full at the most so plenty of spaces free to have extra room on either side.

This morning as I was walking to class, I saw this fun surprise that someone left me last night:



And the driver (of a Saturn Aura, no less ) had Faculty tags in the car, so he or she could've parked inside the University garage. I left a quick one word note on the person's windshield: "Douche". I used my left hand so if the driver turned out to be one of my professors, I wouldn't be identifiable.
Parking in the city blows.
