I park my truck far away from any cars usually at the end of the parking lot. One: so that people can see my company signs on this side and the back. Two: so some A-hole will not park beside me and dent my truck. What happens? Some douche will park right beside me no matter how many empty spots there are in a lot. Then there are the ones that will drive straight up to my truck and at the last second turn away. I was nearly clipped by a dill-hole as he raced thru the parking lot that was almost empty but he felt the need to drive right at my truck. —Back from out west

Odd they never seem to park left beside you? Why is that?
Go back out west then.
I think it’s the same huddling instinct that makes them crawl up your ass on the road.
That’s an Alberta thing. Welcome home!
A PERFECT PARKING STORM
How will it be possible to park at the end of the parking lot so that your company signs on the side and back of your truck will be visible to passers-by but also so that no-dill hole can park next to your truck and possibly dent it?
In the second case, where the dill holes will park next to your truck even if there are many empty spots available in the parking lot, it is difficult to see any solution. Waiting until all the spots are taken except one and then taking it does not eliminate the possibility that a dill hole will dent your truck. Indeed, there may be dill holes on either side of your truck, heightening the potentiality for denting.
In the case of parking at the end of the parking lot so that your company signs will be visible to passers-by does not, in itself, remove the possibility that a dill hole will park next to your truck and possibly dent it. Indeed, there is no connection between the two cases. It doesn’t matter where you park. No matter what you do, the possibility of some dill hole denting your truck remains.
The only conclusion that can be drawn is that there is no solution to your dilemma. You have found yourself in a perfect parking storm.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
First world problems.
That’s because we live here. Where do you live, Burundi?
Parking lots seem to be a breeding ground for annoyances. What with the self-entitled clowns that take up two parking spaces so no one will hit their vehicle with the door, the slackjaws that leave grocery carts in a parking space, people who go to their car while you wait for them to leave to take their space and they take 15 minutes doing God knows what and the list goes on.
Well they have bigger parking lots in Alberta. Like, at West Edmonton Mall, you can park 400 miles away from the entrance to Phase 3. Maybe the OB was used to that kind of thing.
And they have more angle parking there. Mmmmmm . . . angle parking . . . so eeeeeeeasy . . .
