Cool People at work make fun of me for the way I park..

I park my car in this spot whenever I can... If I back into it, 99% of the time the peron who pulls in next to me will pull straight in (so their door won't open towards my car)...

I will NEVER park my car on the inclines of the garage, or any garage for that matter...



This is how a lot of people who park in my garage park....







Those last 2 (The SUV's) are both parked in spots CLEARLY labeled "Compact Car Only"...

I am probably one of the most Anal parkers ever.... My girl thinks its stupid, but then again that's probably why her Passat has dings galore...

I can't stand people who park like this, and I wish I could punch them...

What about you guys/girls?

I feel you....

There's nothing wrong with trying to keep your baby ding free..

It's takes alot of determination and luck to keep a car looking nice regardless of it's value.

I've always envisioned having bumper stickers made that say:

If You Can't Park It,
Don't Drive It.

Then pasting them to the driver's window whenever I see some dumbass parked wrong. I.E. Across the lines, SUVs in compact car spaces, in loading zones in front of the store (I hate this one), or any other STUPID drivers who feel they are better than parking correctly.

If you have to back up and re-align in the spot, DO IT, it takes like 15 seconds.

I don't really take any special precautions with mine. I might choose a different space if the guy next to it is parked like a total asshat (i.e. like halfway into the space), but other than that, it's full speed ahead!

he is parking the way he is because he does not want to have any dings on his car because you cannot trust other drivers with your car

He's not talking about the original poster...he's talking about people who don't take the extra time to align their car.

That seems like he is not a fan of the guys parking since he is parking over the lines, seems like he is against double parking and stuff that's why i made my comment.
