Selfish idiot

Apparently, this is how some people park their pride and joy!

At least it looks as though spaces aren't in high demand.

I get very annoyed when I see this in a full parking lot but this lot looks almost empty and they look like they parked in the furthest spot away. They get a 5 out of 10 on the selfish idiot scale.

How someone parks their car says a lot about them as a person.

It's always the selfish pick that parks his or her car like this, in fire lanes, or double parks and leaves their car.

This isn't too bad though. It's pretty much an empty lot.

Agreed. As long as it's not an inconvenience to others, it's fine. But if the parking lot were full then it would be a different story.

Agreed. I've watched people park next to my car. Over the line, right next to my door. I watch them get out. Look back. And then keep walking. Takes a special kind of person to do that. The worst offenders are the big trucks and SUV's. If you can drive it and park it, don't own it.

I beg to differ on the empty car park point of view. It would be even less of a reason why one needed to take up two spaces.

Agreed. This really doesn't bother me at all if the parking lot is nearly empty and the person doesn't park right up near the entrance.

It’s a double edged sword!

It annoys me to see people doing this but then some places over here (UK) the parking spaces are so tight I can see why they do! I tend to look for an end space or next to a kerb/pavement so I can park tight against it.

He doesn't want his car dinged by other doors. Can sort of see why he/she did it, is empty anyway.

In the UK the parking spots are so tight it's ridiculous.

Absolutely. Why is it that some fat a$$es can't get out of their vehicle without denting the car next door?

I park as far away from the stores as possible......keeps people from dinging up my vehicle. Burns a few extra calories too.

He should leave the stickers on and not worry about it.

Looks OK to me.

Plenty of spaces available.

I would rather suffer the thoughts of others than repair dents.

Same. I've had it happen to me far too often. Although I don't park like this (just really far away) I understand why some would.

The lines are there for a reason. If everyone thought they were special enough to park how ever it would become very chaotic.

The lady behind in the Santa Fe has swing open door kids and the Bro truck on the left is the mortal enemy of the Italian.

Lot's empty.

The parking job gets a pass imop.

Bingo. I have no problem with this. He is not causing any problems to anyone given the size of the lot and the amount of spaces available. I think, unfortunately, driving a car like that already lays judgment on the owner of being a rich prick. For real, what's the big deal? Look where he is parked and what's available.

Really? He's in an empty lot with zero chance of someone dinging his door, yet he parks like a moron anyway. I say it's force of habit. He always parks like this.

I respectfully disagree. Chances are, if he parks in between the lines, someone will want to park beside his car.
