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.
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.

This is perfect because of course it is
I think their kid was the one driving
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
When you park, are you not lining yourself up with either the lines or the cars parked either side of you?
I dont think i could park without noticing i had done this, let alone get out of the car and not see it. I certainly couldnt walk away without fixing it.
I absolutely do pay attention to the lines and am fastidious about not being too close to other vehicles. I’m just saying I see how this can happen, even if I could never see myself doing this.
Distracted people do bone head things and most anyone can be caught up in their own head. It might be that they have multiple sources of high stress overwhelming them, or they had some shocking news, or they are just flat out trying to figure a problem in their life.
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt more now. I try to look for a logical mistake, like in this case coming in the lot in the wrong direction and not paying attention to the lines and realizing not everyone is fastidious as me about parking, I can see the potential for an error like this. Assuming everything is intentional just makes more people upset. Assuming intentionality also dehumanizes the person a little because they aren’t given the chance to be a human that made a mistake.
That’s not to say I never think people are assholes or idiots. I just try to think of a frame for the action. It’s still irresponsible of them to do this, but seeing that as unintentional first instead of intentional first helps me not be as upset with them.
That’s the “I’m late for something” or “I don’t give a shit” parking job if they came in from the wrong direction.
My money is on drunk driver
My money is on totally sober moron
My money is on sleep deprived. Same thing for all intents and purposes. They are outside of a daycare.
Asking to get his front keyed too. I hate people blocking sidewalks with their private crap. You guys already own the majority of infrastructure space and still have the audacity to pull this and similar shit constantly.
Bad enough e-scooters get left laying across sidewalks in some places.
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.
Then try again and don’t just stay there.
If you can’t park properly, then you don’t deserve to drive on **public **roads.
it’s literally the easiest parking
Guys, GUYS, I think this comment is a joke!
Then it should have the /s tag.
You can’t discern sarcasm though text.
More like 30 degrees into 90 degree parking, no? Or is this an American thing?
She was busy paying attention to her phone.

I’m just gonna leave this here:
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.
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.
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.
have you tried parking while driving drunk?! /s
“Do or do not, bruh”
-Grogu
Their kids ability to color within the line is the least of your worries lol
When you gotta go, you gotta go.
it’s no big deal if if doesn’t functionally prevent anyone from getting in and out and if it’s just a quick move
They’re still an asshole.
Or very distracted. Not excusing them, just saying. Not every action is a purposeful asshole. They could be an innocent asshole lol
That’s what people who park like assholes tell themselves. It takes ten extra seconds to straighten out and park correctly.
The daycare I take my kids to, there are six regular spots in front of the building and two handicapped spots. There’s tons of parking on the side of the building, it’s just not as convenient.
Without fail, there are mothers who will absolutely park in the handicapped spots if the other spots in front are taken. Some of them will even park their massive SUV in BOTH handicapped spots. It blows my mind, the privilege these people display. They can park on the side of the building and walk an extra ten feet like s normal human being, but no… they are more important than anyone else.
I make sure to point out to my kids that those people are breaking the rules because they don’t want to deal with a very slight inconvenience.
Reminds me of the people who will practically block our street by parking on both sides because they don’t want to be slightly inconvenienced using their driveways. I don’t think a fire truck could get down our street unless they sideswiped every car.
handicapped spots
if they’re not being used, maybe they don’t need to exist?
I’ve seen people say it’s kind of weird people want the “handicapped” to be both treated equally and have special parking spots?
If you can’t park properly, you don’t deserve to drive in public.

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”
