I admit there have been times if I'm parking in a spot next to a bad parker, I won't find a new spot. I'll just squeeze my car in and leave them as little room as possible on the driver's side.
We went to dinner tonight and my kid took a nasty crap on the way there. I parked and changed him while trying not to gag. There was no one in the lot because we have a one year old so we go out for the early bird special. When we got back to the car I realized I had definitely parked in two spots and the lot was full around me. I said loudly to DH to hurry up because I "parked like an asshole" turn around and there is a family with kids there. It was bad on so many levels.
I am lucky no one Saran wrapped my car and I will now be finding a new Mexican restaurant.

I used to do this all the time when I had my old junky car b/c i didn't care if it got dented or scratched.
I don't think I could stop myself from doing something to @tambcat's neighbor's car. Even if I tried to stop myself, I'd just sleepwalk and WHOOPS! Eggs on a Volkswagen.
Or, I'd wake up to find I had been Amazon shopping in my sleep:
If you look closely at the nighttime pic, you can see there is a small cone on the car's antenna. They've also started traffic coning off the culdesac for their kids to ride bikes. lol. So I have to thread my car through their stupid little cones to get to my driveway if I come home during that time.
@tambcat so now they just part in the middle of the street? W.T.F.
Yes! I guess they got tired of their tandem parking situation, and this way they can get out around the other car. But one time they had two parked right next to each other (one closer to their driveway). So weird. Â I hate them.
I can't wait until someone is in a hurry, is distracted, and smashes into that vw. Good riddance!

Take the cones. If they're left on the street, they must be trash! Youre just keeping your neighborhood clean.
Or see how many of them you can run over without having to back up.

Our neighbors cone off the area for their kids to ride bikes too. It's extra annoying because 1. we're in a townhome so the alley/driveway is shared between two short rows of houses (5 on each side) and 2. they're not supposed to use that alley/driveway for bike riding or skateboarding or anything and 3. their kids are still really young (around 5 and 3) so they're short and hard to see, especially since they are usually out there until after dusk - ya know, when everyone is driving home from work and trying to get into their garage. I've had to make a gazillion point turn (ok, a five point, but still) to get into my own garage instead of pulling right in as normal. I hate those people. HATE. One of these days someone is going to come around the corner and hit one of those kids. I just pray it's not me or my husband.

Take those traffic cones and superglue them to the top of their VW.

My neighbors also love to put cones out like assholes. I called the local PD (not 911!) and they said that they can't impede traffic with their cones. FYI

You could call the non emergency police line and report an abandoned car. There are enough houses around that they wouldn't know it was you who called.
My poor parents had major issues with their former neighbors in NJ, who were total assholes. My parents lived at the end of the cul-de-sac, asshole neighbors would fucking cone off the cul-de-sac and put up all those little Lego looking, flag holding figures that say "SLOW, KIDS PLAYING" or something, so that their kids could ride bikes, play basketball, play hockey, you name it, in the cul-de-sac. My Dad would try to come home from work, and was unable to drive through, one day he got pissed and drove through the cones and around all the toys laying out there like an obstacle course (the kids weren't playing at the time, but the toys were laying everywhere). The neighbor (who is at least 20 years younger than my Dad) saw it and came over to my parents' driveway and he screamed at my Dad and told him he was going to kick his ass. Then the neighbor called the police, who came out, and gave BOTH of them a disorderly conduct summons (WTF, my Dad didn't do anything). Anyway, from that point on, my Dad had to call the police every time he was trying to get to his house and couldn't because the street was blocked off. It was RIDICULOUS. I'm so glad they (my parents) finally moved. People are assholes.
I hate when someone parks like an asshole, which in turn causes the surrounding cars to do the same. You know, like parking *just* on the line, so the next car is parked just a little more over the next line, and it snowballs until whoever is there last is left looking like a complete asshole when all they were trying to do was park in a damn spot.
Somewhere I have a picture of a car parked the wrong way, in a bus zone, on a neighborhood arterial. I watched them do it. And in this case, parking was plentiful on both sides of the street, so I have no idea why they *had* to park right there.
