Once had to crawl in through the back of my mini van !


Or another parking peeve...


At some sort of outdoor event/festival where the parking is not well-monitored and some jerk blocks you in...or better yet..blocks a whole row of people in.

Then you are stuck. Trying to find the owner in a huge festival of people.


Actually got the police to TOW a car that had me blocked in because they couldn't find the owner. Took FOR-EV-ER.

Be considerate, people !!!

Or the ones that will stop traffic in the parking lot in every direction to wait for someone to unload 20 bags of groceries so they can have that spot!!

If is possible I prefer to park facing out so as not to have to back up. But of course some one almost always pulls up behind me so close that I cannot open my trunk to place any shopping bags in. This does become an irritation!

...................and people who park in the NO PARKING zone in the apartment complex where I live. These spots are designed to give everyone access to the entry without having to walk between cars when you are trying to come in with grocery/shopping bags.

I always try and do what NWV does when parking, it’s so much better then backing out and having an accident because you couldn’t see as well as if you were pulling forward.

However whenever I had an old beat up vehicle nobody parked beside me. Then when I have newer ones ~ everyone wants to be close to me. I can park a new car or truck as far away from the store as I can find with no one anywhere nearby and when I return to the car there’s two or three others who parked beside me. It’s hell to be loved like that.

I hate it when people park too close! but I go out of my way to park out far and i still get jerks boxing me in at times. :0) another thing I that bugs me is people who park in handicapped spots with no apparent handicap!

Aren't those painted lines just suggestions? Most people can't drive, let alone park.

Btw, it's even more troublesome when the lines on the street are seen that way. Dontcha hate wondering if the driver in the next lane is gonna text his way into the side of your car?
