Pic of total idiot parking job

Because this guy in the white truck was nowhere to be found, I'm resorting to posting this on a chat board on hopes everyone agrees with me. I mean, the guy missed my side mirror by inches! And somehow I'm supposed to open the door and drive away? I don't think he even saw my car parked there...I had to crawl in from the passenger side and s l o w l y back out.

What are people thinking these days? Complete disregard for others and their property.

That's pretty obnoxious! Nothing like having to crawl over the console to get into the driver's seat. Some of these notes may have been appropriate.

People are unreal and exceptionally selfish... Seemingly more and more as time goes on...

Glad you had no damage

My cars have been victims of side gashes from those parking jobs like this one that went badly... And the selfish ***** decided to leave and park elsewhere without leaving a note

That's anything but respectful
I wonder is it any coincidence or SUV , truck owners are less caring about other people' properties

Here's a photo from my workplace half a dozen years ago. My car is the tahoe, the other suv was a senior manager.
I sent him a copy of this photo in email at at ten am asking him if he could possibly move his car before five. He sent a reply "yep" and at five oclock this is exactly the position of these cars.
I think it's a little worse when you actually know the guy who does you like this.

The pics above illustrate exactly why I always park mine (all my vehicles) well away from any of the convenient parking places.

Is also why I keep a valve stem remover in the glove box.

bingo.

remove all 4 valve stems. no damage, just a whole lot of inconvenience. Exactly what he caused you.

sometimes retribution is necessary for complete assclowns like that guy.

I hate it when that happens. Most of the time it is because the parking spaces are to small because they want more spots to park in the lots. Check with your local building department code. They may be in violation of the size of the parking space. There are regulations on the size.

Interesting! Could wedge one behind the rear tire so when he backs up it goes in, and a few days later getting it fixed. Like it!

...or complete tire blowout at highway speed, lose control of SUV and kill him and innocent kids in car... Nice, that's a fair retribution for having a hard time getting in your car

I'll assume you guys are kidding

Thats why I said rear tire. ;-) I would do nothing, but a nail in a rear is hardly going to cause a family killing accident....and it makes this thread a lil funner
