My partner backed into a space yesterday and asked me, “are we good?” I said, “not great.” She opened her door to check the line, laughed, re-parked. Some people understand.

Similarly, if you’re not in an extra long vehicle, you don’t need to veer way out to the left to make a right hand turn.
OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
Also on this note, if there’s a turn lane get fully in it before turning. It may as well not even be there at all if you’re gonna sit half out into the driving lane to slow down.
AreaKode@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Blinker, turn lane, brakes. People tend to apply these in the wrong order.

And most importantly: always believe in yourself.
Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’ve seen that happen way more frequently recently and it’s getting pretty annoying
That actually just happened to me today, and yesterday, and probably the day before that too

Probably just someone traumatized by a sidewall puncture.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 6 months ago
LOL I’ve done this many times. It’s a matter of pride. I didn’t learn to park in no barn!
RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
Cats tend to be exactly inside the box, I would expect them to park inside the lines every single time.
ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 6 months ago
You haven’t met my mother’s Siamese. The cross eyed bastard will scratch around in the box, line up, and spray all over the wall/floor outside of the box.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 6 months ago
My two cats have an odd outside the box thing. One likes to have a back leg hanging out, usually over the edge of whatever he’s sleeping on. The other does it with a front leg. They’ve always been very consistent about it.
OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
Even my cats gets up and moves when he flops on my lap the wrong way. Don’t blame all cats for this.
thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 6 months ago
maaan, one time i pulled in awkward to the corner of a parking lot at a trail head to wait for my friend. i was pulled forward and at an angle so i could see past the other cars and know if my friend had driven past the lot. the was no cell service so i had to go flag him down when i saw him since the rail head wasn’t very well marked. I made sure i wasn’t in anyone’s way, but it was an ugly ass park job if it had actually been a park job.
as I was sat there with my windows cracked two dudes walk past and spent like 5 minutes shifting on Subaru drivers because of my park job. they didn’t see me in the car i guess. like, they were just making incorrect assumptions, but it still kinda hurt…
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Sometimes it helps if you remind yourself that criticizing some group they don’t belong to fills some peoples need to feel more powerful.

Is a cat park kind of like a dog park?
adarza@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
depends on how ‘unsuccessful’ you were the first try.
variants@possumpat.io 6 months ago
I remember going to a post office and a car had gone in partially through the wall. They weren’t able to try again.
jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 6 months ago
While I get the point, this does overlook the seeming law of physics that if you fuck it up once, you will fuck it up every subsequent time.

- Pretend you need to leave.
- Pretend to drive away.
- Pretend to remember that you actually need to be here.
- Pretend to not be disappointed in yourself.
- Park again.
_bcron@midwest.social 6 months ago
Let’s say you turn right to park in a spot but your turning radius sucks so you’re at an angle and your rear right is really close to the next car.
Crank the wheel right as far as it’ll go and crawl forward a handful of inches so the front of your car is equally close to the car on the right and you’re parallel with that car but really close.
Straighten your wheels, reverse out all parallel to that car until your front bumper clears that car, then crank the wheel left and crawl in reverse a handful of inches, until the rear of the car is aiming in the other direction.
Straighten the wheel and crawl another couple of inches, until your rear axle is centered in the space, then put it in drive and pull right in now that the rear is centered
Speculater@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I once saw a lady struggle to park in her spot for like 30s, back out, then leave. Another valid technique.
InnerScientist@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Floor it?

psud@aussie.zone 6 months ago
Leave the spot just the opposite way to which you entered the spot. Then try again.
Ideal: exactly centered between whatever defines the spot (lines, cars, kerbs)
Ideal’: close to a kerb and far from the neighboring car/line

No. I take my cat as an example. If it fits, it sits.

🎵 Repark my Firebird! Considerate parking is my only desire bird! 🎵
Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 6 months ago
If you’re always reparking your car you run a risk of a collision with a distracted driver. If someone sees a car going into a spot its not unreasonable to think they’d assume the car is out of play and can be ignored. When you back out to adjust back between the lines eventually one of those times someone won’t be paying attention to you.]
HeChomk@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Don’t go in forwards. Never understood why people insist on going forwards into a parking bay. Less control, needs more room, harder to leave.
I just assume people that go in forwards can’t drive.
jaybone@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Looking at any parking lot, this means 99% of people can’t drive.
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
My logic is that driving into a parking is more difficult than exiting, and that driving backwards is more difficult than driving forward.
So why choose both difficult options when you can make exiting as easy as entering?
tiramichu@lemm.ee 6 months ago
I feel like it’s also an outlook/mentality thing.
I personally am happy to take a few extra seconds parking, because I see it as spending time to make life easier, faster and safer for my future self when I come to leave.
Zooming in forwards is like “I care about now more than I care about later”
RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
Significantly less turning going in forwards, with the exception of parallel parking where both are pretty even, but some people see you pass a park and go right up your arse even though you wanted to back in.
Also car has great visibility forward and fuck all backwards, rear view mirror is like double the size of the rear window (in the reflection, not side by side).
Noobnarski@lemmy.world 6 months ago
If I want to be able to access my trunk easily I will have to go forwards.
Otherwise I always go backwards.
Emerald@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I was just never taught how to back in to a parking spot.
IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Please stop driving. You are putting people at risk. 🤦♂️
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
You’re damned either way. If you try to fix it, you’ll bonk the cars next to you. Literally unavoidable.
psud@aussie.zone 6 months ago
I guess some people are really bad drivers
QDgwZjQYdfbnMdMNQ@lemmy.cafe 6 months ago
If you’re in a situation where you can’t get out of the space without bonking the cars next to you, wouldn’t you most likely have had to bonk them to get in?
kautau@lemmy.world 6 months ago
and another, related wild take. you can miss an exit or a turn and keep going straight. it may take longer to get where you’re going, and it may be frustrating, but it’s safer and better than cutting people off
SARGE@startrek.website 6 months ago
The only time I’ve ever said fuck in front of my mother was when she cut across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the exit, and ended up getting stuck in the zebra divider until there was a big gap in traffic.
When she slammed on the brake and jerked the wheel, upon realizing she wanted to make the exit I just yelled “What that FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?”
Surprisingly even though I was still in high school, she never mentioned it. Either she realized she fucked up and let it slide or she didn’t hear me over the honking of cars, a semi, and the yelling of my dad and sister.

A bad driver never misses their exit.
