I don't understand people who park like idiots. Do they not know they utterly failed to park their vehicle within the lines and have, therefore, rendered an adjoining space useless? I don't see how someone could be so completely clueless about their actions and their consequences. The alternative is that they just don't care. Oops, I parked like a jerk and I'm essentially taking up two spaces, oh well, the world revolves around me and and everyone else is a little peon compared to my greatness so I don't care. I don't know which is a greater parasite to the world the dangerously clueless or the conceited a-hole.

These pictures were all taken on Sundays, after church, when we go eat, and parking spaces are at a premium. They are not taken of a car surrounded by empty spaces. This one was directly in front of a restaurant. My vehicle is the one on the right. I was so ticked off that I pulled in any way. It took all my self-control not to repeatedly slam my door into the offending car. That would have been wrong. But, I have no moral/ethical problem with gently placing my car door against the offending car being very careful not to cause any damage...followed by my exerting all my might against my door so that I can exit my vehicle. I then carefully opened the rear door...and proceed to extract my one-year old from his car seat while again...exerting all my might against the the door. Technically, my car doors never left my space...so I have no trouble sleeping at night. But, if he left there without two tiny little dings, then they're making cars out of Kryptonite.

Apparently, I'm not the only one bothered by such idiots. Here is a website where you can get I Park Like An Idiot bumper stickers...and then take a photo of the offending car with the bumper sticker on it and send it in (they have a nice collections.) There's also a neat website where you purchase actual citations which have the Nice Parking, Dude website address on them. The website then shows if the offender checks the citation for which you leave them a message on the website and they can leave a response. And, then there's the classic You Park Like An A--hole which is a less formal and free give a notice and post a picture site.
