Just a guess.

I almost always park in handicap spots so I have extra room and prevent rude people from dinging my doors.

I drive a really nice car and I do not want someone denting it. Some cars are more than some houses. People should learn respect and not damage other peoples property.

They left their cars parked there, and went for supper after work, and came back about 9 pm.


Idiot boy had gone home in a taxi. He got it.

XXX.

I would have had all four cars towed.

So I sat there and waited for someone to come out so I could park and one of the first people to come out was a double parker. I rolled down my window and asked him why take two spaces. He just shrugged his shoulders and took off.

What have you encountered that makes you angry?

Yeah, the more you are in public, the more you realize everyone sucks.

Tossing litter out of the cars.
Speeding down neighborhood streets.
Parking in two spots.
Leaving their grocery carts all around the parking lot.
Parking in handicap and pregnant/new mother spots.
Talking or taking phone calls in movies.
Leaving cig butts everywhere.
Standing on the reef/coral.
Hit-and-run property damage.

The list is endless. And these effers breed.

Try not to think about it. It will incense you to no end and it's not healthy. Just set a good example by doing the right thing.

I hope you're trolling, bc this is one of the most WT posts I've read in a long time.

Reminds of the time I went to the mall and me and three other cars (all over $100k) parked in ONE spot...and some WT had his tricked out muscle car in two. Yeah, you're so much more special than that Bentley over there.

Ever notice the people who take up two spots for their car never really have a truly nice car? Like some mid-range european (5 series, E class, etc) that they probably can't really afford so they act like buffoons to protect it.

Wtf? You'd take a spot away from a handicapped person for your stupid car? That's worse than those rude/careless people.

My husband has a nice car (it's not worth more than a house, though, well maybe a very small dilapidated house ;D) and he parks far away from the store/restaurant. And walks, which is fine. It's amazing how often he'll come out and some yahoo has parked RIGHT NEXT TO HIM where there are many other choices of places the person could have parked much closer in. I think it's a psychological thing - people just clump up for some reason.

Anyway, it IS a jerky thing for someone to do to take up more than one space if it's a crowded lot.

LowonLuck - just to be clear - are you actually entitled to park in those handicapped spaces?

One, double parking does not mean parking astride a parking line. Double parking is a situation that occurs, usually in busy city streets, where the parking spots are already taken and another driver parks his car along side the parked cars and in the street, at least partially blocking the road. They are double parked.


What you and the OP are referring to is multi-space parking.


In addition, multi-space parking is frequent where parking lot line dividers do not take into account the opening of car doors. In those situations, you don't have to subscribe to the stupidity of the people who painted the lines, and multi-space parking is a reasonable solution.
Parking lot lines should have an area between spaces - like this:





Unfortunately, many parking lots just have spaces not much wider than the width of a car - results in inevitable dings when people open their doors. A consideration if you have a half nice car.

I know what double-parking is. Which is why I responded like I did and provided a link (to avoid copyright issues per the TOS) which explains it.
