I often see bikes parked cross-wise, perpendicular to the space-markings. That allows some people, who own both a bike AND a car, to park them both in the same parking space, like, say, in reserved condo spaces.

I had a neighbor many moons ago when I lived in an apartment who always took two spots - one for his bike, one for his car. He complained that he always had to park the car far away. I told him that he could save space and park the bike like this and always have a spot for his vehicles. I don't see anything wrong with conserving space and possibly allowing another car under the covered parking by doing so. Here in AZ right about now, covered parking is very coveted!! Got in the car on Friday and it was 114°. I was in the shade!

Those schlubs in the Honduhs are buttholes.

Now my question is - if they drove Bugattis, would it be okay? I contend that no, it would not. With great power comes great responsibility.

I had someone in the covered parking garage where I lived in Denver who parked his BMW into my assigned spot. One day I fixed him by parking so close to his driver's side he had to crawl over from the passenger side. I was hoping he'd hit the family jewels on the stick shift in the process Anyway he got the point because he never parked into my space again.

I'd do the same with the Honda drivers, maybe even park at an angle so it takes them 20 minutes to pull out.

i hate when people double park. then it messes up others' parking "space" when it gets invaded. i wouldnt be surprised if a big scratch was alongside both of those cars when the owners came back....not condoning it, but taking up two spots, especially if there are few spots available to begin with, is uncalled for.
