This person pulled straight into a 45 degree parking spot. I’m parked on the left. It’s a daycare and I’m curious if their kids can color inside the lines yet.

    Keep in mind that in these situations it’s not always their fault. Sometimes two other people have pulled in straight and they’re the third. Then the other two leave, and they just look like an ass.

    Or maybe they’re just an ass. Can really go either way.

      I always try to remember this. SOMEONE is an absolute idiot in situations like this, but it’s not always the most obvious one.

      Also: someone going super slow in the fast lane. It’s not always the car in front of you, especially if it’s a big car. Sometimes there’s a little car in front of em.

      Yup, I’ve had to park poorly because everyone else around me had parked badly. Usually one person will park way out of line “Don’t want my car getting dinged!” and that causes a domino effect where everyone else has to park badly too. Now if the one next to you leaves you look like the dick.

      I’d rather park my car almost touching the 2 badly parked cars, than to park outside of the lines.

      I don’t care if they are inconsiderate, I won’t be.

        Because then you’re inconsiderate to the person already parked there. There’s a point where you need to fit with actual behavior of other vehicles rather than stand your ground for the rules regardless of reality

          You’re wrong. Someone who’s inconsiderate enough to park like an asshole doesn’t deserve to be treated any differently

      Especially because it looks like the curb is perpendicular to middle car’s tires, which would put it on a 45 degree angle to the lines. Guessing somebody (maybe them, maybe not) pulled in straight to the curb and somehow missed the lines entirely.

      Somebody is an idiot, but maybe not an asshole?

      From this angle, I feel like the white car’s right rear (or front too?) wheel would hit the curb if a previous car tried parking like the middle car. Or maybe there is more space to white car’s left than it seems. But I’ll still vote ass.
