Parking - ?!#@

This is what happens when you park at the end of the row and almost on the curb to leave space between you and the next spot...

Incredible. Makes you want to not even drive it to the store. Hopefully they didn't give you a nice door ding.

I have been training a guide dog for the blind for a year now and I need access to the passenger door to put the dog in the passenger wheel well for every ride. I checked for dings while there. I'm guessing the guy didn't have a passenger so he didn't give a crap how close he came.

I always leave notes when this happens..... stuff like.....'your mother should have swallowed you', 'learn to park', 'how many xanax did you take to think this was a good parking job', 'how do you even have a valid license?'.

i hate people.

I've been thinking about picking up some driver training manuals from the licensing facility that I could leave on their windshield when people do stuff like this - it happens a lot! That would be a nice subtle hint where, I'm sure, the message would not be missed.

Or you can just print bunch of these and leave on their windshield instead of the driver training manuals.

I used to take pics of that crap too, unfortunately it just happens too often.
Still makes my blood boil, fact is most people consider cars just transportation and the new generation of tards doesn't even drive enough to know they're doing anything wrong.

I finally took the time to search my desktop for this one.
Often they just want to get close to you?

Problem 1:
Working 12 hours

2:
Crip plate/zone may be an issue.

3:
You may consider editing the wheelchair portion before commenting, unless they ran back to their car.

Nursing makes it hard to work shifts less than 12 hours lol but this usually works out because the people are either there before you or arriving after which means you sometimes have very few changes in parking spots that are next to you. The the hash lines are fire zone related. My friend who drove the 11hrs back with me from picking it up was like "well you gave the bad drivers a ton of room to park" which I found kind of funny and partially true.

Update
oops just picked up on the fact that they had a handicapped plate... In my defense it wasnt a handicapped spot next to me, the driver that day may not have been handicapped, and there is a ton of handicapped parking if desired related for my occupation.
Good eye

Keep a kid's coloring book in your car. Tear a page out and leave it on the windshield with a note that says "perhaps if you practice on this, next time you will be able to stay with in the lines". Obviously, only do,it as you are leaving!
