This white Crown vic is my winter beater, I pulled up behind that Nissan and this crazy person at work pulled up behind me like that. All that space behind her is available to park in......... I found her boyfriend and asked him what her f'n problem is, he told me to take his number and if I get blocked in to call him and he would move it.

A little off topic, but when I pulled in with my cop car, there was a car parked in that spot that is now occupied with the owners empty shopping cart. I went ahead and put it in the cart corral for them....

I hate that ****.

1) People who have Crown Vics that aren't 5-0. :p
2) Bastards that leave their carts in the middle of the god damn parking lot.

How hard is it to put it in the corral or take it back to the store? Some people...

Attachment 83798 a hole just parks like a douche look at the angry mob

kinda sad when gtrs park better then american cars

Ok for my birthday celebration last week, I got a little inebriated and completely forgot about watching this lady park. I would have taken a photo, but there was an 8 top table right next to the window, and this is a pretty classy joint where that might have been inappropriate.

My wife and I were seated and having cocktails waiting for some friends at Perry's Steakhouse downtown and watched this lady in a Kia Soul "park" her car along the curb between two cars. I'm pretty sure this space is very small (i.e. not a space except for maybe smart car/Car2Go), as I was looking for parking in the area less than 30 minutes before and passed it several times. The city block is on a hill, so although we were upstairs in the restaurant, the sidewalk and street were right outside the window.

I'm not one to reinforce stereotypes, but it's hard to deny it when you watch a woman try to parallel park like this. Mind you, I cannot see the front of her car, so I have no idea if she did the same thing to the car in front of her or not.

The first sign that this is going to be bad is she pulls into the space forward on the down slope. She then tries reversing to get closer to the curb. Visualize Austin Powers in the cart trying to turn around in the narrow corridor :facepalm: The first time she makes contact with the car behind it's very soft and the cars are touching but still (she is reversing uphill). Suddenly, I see both cars rock backward significantly before she pulls forward again. She continues this back and forth routine nearly ten times, making contact with the car behind her each time. At one point she even gets out, presumably to check her distance to the curb because she never even looked at the other car. After this ridiculous display of parking, she pays the parking kiosk and walks off, leaving her Kia sticking out at an angle that appears to block the other car from even being able to leave :shakes head:

A little later, some friends join us and we order lunch. I mentioned the parking fiasco when they arrived and pointed out the parking job. In the middle of lunch, she returned to her car. We watched her leave, and sure enough, she did the back and forth crap again, giving the car behind her three additional love taps for the road.

People like this get my blood boiling :mad: Inconsiderate a$$holes :gtfo2:

TL;DR?

My wife and I watch a lady attempt to parallel park while at lunch. She hits the car behind her about a dozen times total while parking and later leaving. I couldn't see the car in front of her :ugh:

I wouldve went out there and at least gotten her license plate so the guy who got hit isnt left with a hit and run wondering what happened.

:iagree:

I probably would have done that now, bu when I was young I saw an exact same thing and I just laughed and kept on walking. Youth doesn't care.

I considered it, but my wife didn't want me to start a scene :icon17: I informed the staff, but I doubt they did anything. Part of the problem is this parking space wasn't located near an entrance to the restaurant. I couldn't easily just step outside to confront her. I would have had to walk all the way back through the restaurant, go outside, walk down the block to turn at the next street, walk up a hill to turn at the next street, and then walk partway up another hill. Also, there wasn't major damage to the car. If it were the Z, I would have been pissed at any markings whatsoever. It was likely just some scratches that I honestly wouldn't have cared about on any previous vehicle I have owned.

This happened to my wife and I today when we were in her Murano.
We made a quick stop only to come out and see this when there were
No other cars parked to the left of us!! :shakes head:
