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.

This is perfect because of course it is
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.
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
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’m just gonna leave this here:
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
My money is on drunk driver
My money is on sleep deprived. Same thing for all intents and purposes. They are outside of a daycare.
Looks like they came down the parking lot the wrong way.
So not only did they double park, they were also driving the opposite way of normal traffic?
Please take their drivers license.
Not everybody can achieve the right angle on their first try. It takes a real master. There’s no shame in that diagonal parking. It happens to the best of us sometimes.
Guys, GUYS, I think this comment is a joke!
Then it should have the /s tag.
You can’t discern sarcasm though text.
If there are no cameras or people nearby who can watch, I’d just key those vehicles to teach them a lesson. Assholes doing this type of shit, no matter who they are, deserve punishment and keying their vehicle isn’t even that bad of a punishment.
You are crazy and obviously don’t know how expensive and difficult painting a car is
To be fair, it’s much easier to just park within the lines and realize that there are people out there who will absolutely do this. If you think that it will never happen to you and it does, you’re kind of an idiot and got played because of it
I’ll admit I’m the asshole in the situation, but if I parked badly only to come out and see someone had keyed my car, I might get the message that I need to park better.
Also, having a super pristine vehicle doesn’t matter to me as much, so having it repainted after someone keys it wouldn’t be my first priority by a long shot. Probably close to the very bottom of the top 10 priorities for me in that position.
So you’re saying that you would be ok with someone damaging your property that you worked to get just to know you parked wrong? Instead of a note or something
I’d learn a lot quicker if a few people keyed my vehicle than just leaving a note and I’d get a punishment I feel is deserved, so yeah. Sure I’d be mad, but I’d in the end feel they were justified in their actions.

I was legit thinking of doing this today when I saw 3 cars parked like idiots in the lot. No cameras too. So tempting the more it happens.
