Official Crappy Parkers Thread

What I found when I was leaving a hotel in Weatherford OK. I lucked out - the driver didn't touch my Z and there was a sign on the SUV with a phone number that I called to get the driver to move.

The driver of the SUV had time to write a note to you but did not have the time to re-park the vehicle properly, wtf? He needs to be beeyatch slapped.

At my work parking deck, which never has enough spaces for everyone...he literally parks like this every morning.

My gues is that he can't open his door with the column there......so has to scoot over.

In most cases, I have never understood 'backers', but that is a subject for another thread.

It makes leaving easier and safer.

Yet there are plenty of spots without a column in the way, and he chooses that one everytime....see below about backers.

It also makes entering less safe; I almost ran into someone backing in because they suddenly stopped and starting backing in without any blinker or warning. I can understand pulling through two spots to be facing forward, but don't hold up traffic on a parking deck ramp just because you feel the need to make a quick getaway in the afternoon.

IMO this is an argument against failing to use signals and following too closely. No argument against backing into spaces. They should have used their blinker, and you shouldn't have been so close that you would almost hit them.

I almost always back in due to the fact that in our cars it's nothing but prayers backing out of parking spots. I can not see anything until I am halfway out of the spot. But I also usually park out of the way so I am not impeding traffic either.

The fault of the driver making an abrupt stop without warning and blinking, and during rush hour periods, or someone following too closely, does not make the concept of "backing up" less safe. It just means some drivers are making bad decisions. I certainly wouldn't back into a space slowly if there's a row of cars waiting on me.

Backing into a space also isn't exclusive to making a "quick getaway". It also has a lot to do with the safety of pulling out of the parking space when our vehicles have such horrible rear blindspots, as others have mentioned.

90% of accident takes place in parking lots. Taking the time to back in nitially reduces the rush to back out when leaving, hitting something. Its also a military thing.
