    it's amazing how some folks struggle with this every day task. And how others deal with it.

    :yup:

    I like that. Always wanted to put signs on illegally parked cars.
    Be fun to open both doors and walk thru, :evilsmile:leaving them open, :evilsmile:especially in the rain.:evilsmile:

    Just like when cars park next to fire hydrants--the fire fighters will smash two windows and pass the 2 1/2" hose right through the car to access the hydrant. You honestly would think that would've been drilled into people's heads since childhood.

    I love this, it's natural consequences. You park in front of a hydrant this is what happens. You play with fire you get burned. Oh, but not in this case they were able to put the fire out. :rofl:

    parking for special people...

    Has a permit to use a special parking space and still has to use all four...

    I did this to someone one time. They were using two spaces in a very busy restaurant parking lot. There was just enough space for me to squeeze my Sonic behind it. His front was to a fence. heehee
    When he left the restaurant we watched him walk around his car a few times, I was hoping he'd come back inside to find out who's car was blocking his, but he didn't. He spend a few minutes going back and forth to get his out. It was a fun day. :bouncy:

    Special

    One of my biggest gripes are those people who park like that. At our Wal-Mart every end row near the store has a space with yellow lines and a no parking sign. Every space usually has a large expensive pick up truck in it so those going down the isles can't see what's coming.
    Handicaped spaces are mostly for retarded obese drivers.
    Fire lanes are for those running in the store for one or two items in a hurry.

    Just take the $$ signs out and put in s's. I don't think the site has been updated in a few years.

    In all fairness, it DOES look like the BMW is parked at the far end of the lot, near the woods.
    If it were near the entrance, well, :taz::dance: :smash:

    Luckily I'm not retarded. But even with that I won't get a handicapped parking placard; I do not need it. When I need it, I'll go get it.

    Parking

    (y)On the other hand, I'm not obese, but I am retarded and have a handicap placard. I occasionally use it when grocery shopping but try not to.
    We see those other "parkers" everytime we go to town. I do understand why many park taking two spaces. Others open their car doors or bang shopping carts against expensive cars.
    I almost always get an end spot or park out where not many others park. That way I hopefully avoid thoses dings and scrapes.
    The odd part of this is I remember parking in work parking lots very close and rarely anyone got their cars damaged.
    As far as these pictures, I look at the humor in it.:D

    Oh, it's those ForTwo tippers again! Usually, though, they're tipped backward, not sideways! (Yes, I do see it's a PhotoChopped pic.)

    I forgot about altered photos.:slap: I believed it at first. Now I see the shadows show differently.

    It's getting where I can't believe everything on the internet these days!:confused:
