Can’t you just park properly!! Parking sucks here like it does in any city but if you’re parking against the curb – pull the fuck up! I drive by all this wasted space because someone rolls in and stops right in the middle of a space two cars could use! —You drive me nuts!

maybe there was a smart car there before that one. i just pull in, park the way i am comfortable with and go about business. if you don;’t like it, too fucking bad, i never asked you to join the enforcers.
AMEN to this bitch! People think they need like 20 feet to fit their economy car into a spot when all you need is a couple of feet on each end and some arms to cut your wheel.
On the other hand, some people pull up so close to your car that it takes a friggin 15 point turn to get out.
Sure, sometimes there was a car there before – fine. But often enough it was someone who apparently thinks they are the only one looking for a spot on a Monday morning in Halifax and so parked comfortably and went about their business. On a bus would you lay your legs across a couple of extra seats too?
I hear that in some parts of Europe people don’t pull the emergency brake while parked on the side of the road, because many cars try to squeeze into a tight space by gently bumping other cars out while parallel parking.
Don’t forget the people in parking lots to take up two/three spots parking sideways or at an angle so no one will park next to their car.
The way people scratch other cars while coming out of their parking spots, bang their car doors on other cars while getting in/out, and put their coffee cup/grocery on other ppl’s car while loading up theirs…I can kind of understand why some very anal people might want to take up 2 spots. But not three, unless you are pulling a trailer.
I frigging hate it when the people on both sides of my assigned parking spot crowd both lines so bad that I can’t get out of my car were I to park there.
drives me NUTS. I know the spots are tight… i mean it’s not like costco or anything but now I’ve gotta steal someone else’s spot, further complicating things.
