that is awfully close, as hopefully the van didn't have a passenger. not sure how someone can blatently overlook what appears to be a rather large parking space width wise. but the pic that brociouz put up- i wouldn't be surprised if that was purposefully done so that the driver could not get in if he/she needed to. the way the tire is angled and how the side mirrors are perfectly aligned and damn near touching each other tells me it was parked with intent. hopefully that infiniti gets some huge key marks for that dumbass move.

You shouldn't retaliate because you have more to lose than that wiggity *** van. If you have an assigned parking spot and he did this then maybe a talk is in order. Leaving the costume for a couple of days is fair enough if your wife gave it to you.

I'm not sure who the van belongs to and I didn't have a chance t find out. At least they didn't hit or ding my car. I just couldn't believe that someone could blatantly park that terrible, especially next to my car when there was a whole bunch of empty parking spaces in the lot. They must've wanted to be right next to Rudolph.

LOL that was funny.

Back on topic. Its even worst when you park away from everyone and there are closer spots open yet people still park next to you, and HELLA CLOSE too.

As for the Acura and Infinite picture, if I was in the Acura I would of ding is passenger door, but not with my car. No courtesy to the Acura car and the Infinite is just asking for it.

atleast you know that the driver is on the other side so no need to worry about door dings?

that is complete BS. that car needs to get towed. They should start writing tickets for stupid people parking like that instead of police officers hiding in the bushes of a fwy entrance trying to catch people for speeding. Next time get a pack of those long bumper stickers n just pop on his car. Let that idiot peel off his paint for parking next to your car like that.

Another thing that pisses me off is freaking SUVs parking in compact spaces in parking lots. WTF are they thinking, it says COMPACT for a reason. A freaking suburban is NOT compact. It's even worse when they park in a compact space at the end of parking spaces so I have to make a super wide turn in order to get around the parking lot.

It's the holiday season and everyone is out trying to get gifts n stuff and that probably explains the increased parking fails that I keep noticing.

I'm sorry to say but I've come to realize that people are IDIOTS. If it benefits them, then it's o.k. This person doesn't know how to park and that's obvious. I'd hate to have to park in an area like this. This is one of the down falls of owning and CARING about your car. I have seen some BEAT up IS's. I'd be pissed! A floor jack would be nice!

I was a upset when I walked up to my car and saw that, so much that I took a picture and made a thread about it. At least it was their passenger door against my passenger door and there was no damage. Stuff like this happens, it's inevitable and I'm over it now. Not everybody cares about their vehicles the way that we do. Sometimes it seems that no matter how far away I park, somebody always parks next to me.

That van's front tire was pretty close to my WedsSport though .

These posts were hilarious. I just laughed out loud again reading them. I'll keep Rudolph on for a couple more days just for that.

You know, I must say....that Infiniti looks like it's kinda flirting with that Acura.

Terrible parking jobs. Some people just dont know how to park and some just don't know how to drive. Even if you do find a parking spot far far far away from everyone else, there is still always that one f*#^@%#$ who likes to park his car in the spot next to yours. So annoying.

Parking and driving is worse and more noticable now since its holiday shopping season. Everyone is in a rush to get somewhere and shop. Stay home and do online shopping. lol

I don't think it's as much of not knowing how to park (I'd say they did a DANG good job of not hitting the next car) but rather a sense of selfishness and entitlement. Well.... and inconsideration, too.
