In my humble village known as the Sovereign State of Lakeview in the People's Republic of Chicago, street parking is an absolute premium. Double-parking is a sin punishable by death, IMO.

You can buy fake/hilarious parking tickets for this very reason.....you check the box that fits the situation (Parked like an a-hole, etc.). I gave some to a co-worker when she bought a new car. Would make a great birthday gift for your wife!
absolutely.. did you find them online?? she would love this..

No door dings, but one day a thunderstorm blew through and sent a shopping cart rocketing all the way across the parking lot and right in to the front fender. That cart must have been dooing about mach 3 when it slammed in to my car, leaving a nice big dent in my baby.

The moral of the story..... well sh!# happens....
I used to shop at that Schnucks (now since closed)...I'll bet that was my cart! :wink:

Did you work for the manager, I forget his name, who went to the Alton store?
Yep. I was produce clerk when they closed the store and got moved to the Godfrey Store that was a National when Schnuck's bought them out.

I park crooked occasionally, but its usually because I'm rushing into a spot so as to not make the cars behind me wait for me to slowly and perfectly park.

I always ensure the car to my right has enough room though for a person my size to get in and out of a car, or else I will back up and straighten out.

Living in Lakeview broke my will to drive. Between the city sticker, the zone sticker, street cleaning, tree pruning, never having a parking space unless you're home by 6, well, I just gave up. So many tickets...

When the city booted and towed my car I just said, [expletive] it, and let them keep it. The car wasn't worth the cost of getting it back.

If you are going to drive a stupid tank everywhere you go, at least park it so others can manuever around it.

Stupid americans with their oversized cars.

But my BMW is so much better than yours! :wink:

People who take two spots suck, and obviously open themselves up to much tomfoolery...

The people who are too important or are too busy to park one of these straight in their spot. The car is angled, cause they are important and in a hurry and just whipped into their spot. Of course they parked next to me (on the driver's side) leaving plenty of room for them to get out, a tiny crack for me to get in. What happens to their passenger side door, I cannot be held accountable for.

there's a girl at my office that parks completely crooked EVERY day.. to the point
where you really can't even park by her..
I think some people do this on purpose so they look like they're clueless instead of an a-hole taking up two spots.
