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

      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.

      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?

    It’s a daycare so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and say it was a very tired parent

      It being a daycare makes it even worse.

      Then they should know which side they should approach a one-way parking lot, they drive there almost every day.

      Being a parent doesn’t give you a free pass to be inconsiderate.

        Not a free pass. I just know there’s a peak level of exhaustion that makes you not notice or not realise your own actions. There’s a reason there’s parents accidentally leave their baby in a hot car. Or leave their kid in the bath tub and walk off. Once you go through it you know and you have to be so careful. Luckily this person (assuming they didn’t do it on purpose) just parked badly and didn’t hurt anyone.

        Luckily the worst I’ve ever done was put the milk in the pantry and cereal in the fridge

        I don’t disagree, but sleep deprivation makes a person do wild things they wouldn’t do otherwise.

      No, must be malicious intent and them showing off their superiority, because on here (just like on reddit) people are mostly imbeciles that can only see in black and white.

      I mean “asking to get his car keyed” what kind of people are commenting here?!
      It’s a fucking daycare, how long does it really take to get his kid and get out? 5 minutes?

        “it’s only 5 minutes” is most likely the same inconsiderate thinking that produced that parking job.

        This person is a parent, likely going to teach their kids also be lazy, inconsiderate goons.

        We live in a society. Park in the lines, put your shopping cart in the corral, stand on the right side of the escalator… these are basic things a person does to make life a little less inconvenient for others. L

        Don’t teach your kids to be privileged dicks.

        But that would be an asshole. You’re not the first person with a pregnant wife. Its entitled to think you’re so special that you can’t park properly.

        Nobody at a hospital wants to be there. Lots of them have emergencies. Parking like that is just one more obstacle/inconvenience they have to navigate while they deal with their own emergencies

    I think these people must be the happiest assholes in the world. They just don’t give a fuck about anything, they live their lives carefree.

      Or people constantly return their behavior with negative ones too and they can’t understand why every “is an asshole to them”

    I’m glad to see the shitty parking pics have come over here from reddit. I missed them!

    I had a guy a few days ago park next to me at such a shitty angle that his back end was a few inches from my car and I could barely open my door. Fortunately he was still in his car and fixed it after I gave a few raps on it. I think I woke him up.

    The way it’s angled is like they came in the wrong way on a directional parking lot and parked at the angle for if the lot had been reversed. Probably not an idiot but definitely not paying attention. Lol

    There is an old joke about being so gay you can’t even park straight…but I’m not sure that’s what’s going on here. Lol

      So not only did they double park, they were also driving the opposite way of normal traffic?

      Please take their drivers license.
