ASSHOLE PARKING

I’m surprised my wife hasn’t been on here yet. I make in front of her parking all the time. Especially how crooked she parks in the driveway when she backs up.

 

That would mean I would have somewhere to park other than my garage

 

no, they definitely do not

 

Couldn’t not comment on this. I have severe arthritis in my feet (and slowly working its way through the rest of my joints since my mid-30s), and I have handicap plates. I don’t always use them. But when I need them I sure do. And I don’t always limp. But my feet always hurt. I’m more likely to visibly limp the later in the day it gets (it’s cumulative). So even if I don’t “look” handicapped, I sure am grateful to be spared a few steps on bad days.

 

I am in a similar situation. I had a very severe car accident 29 years ago. I broke my back, arm, shattered my left ankle and crushed my right foot. I now deal with constant pain that grows with the time of day and activity. Received cortisone injections in the ankle and foot for a few years, which no longer offered any relief a couple years ago. I was not ready for a rod in the left leg eliminating all flex in the ankle, along with removal (plate across the joint) of the great mid tarsal joint of the right foot. The day will come, but I am not ready for months in a wheelchair again. Ortho says the right would not be "allowed to touch" the ground for 16 -25 weeks. Grandfather had severe RA which bound him to a wheelchair, sister is currently being treated for it, I missed getting the blood work in 2020 due to ... well 2020.

I walk with a limp which to some may not be noticeable on good days, while on bad days can not be missed. The orthopedist wants me to use a cane anytime I walk. The wife can determine my pain level by my walk/limp. Still have not started using a cane, just damned well don't want to, though I feel that day is closing in on me.

Like you, I do not use the parking all the time, I use my handicapped placard when needed and as spaces are available. I get looks from some folks when I get out of my truck and walk in. F 'em if they think I park like an ass, they can try spending 10 minutes trying to stand or walk through a store in my shoes. I park better than 90% or more of cars on the lot whether I am using handicapped parking or not.

 

Costco.

 

He has a trailer. What do you expect him to do?

 

Back of the lot or the trailer parking would be my go to

 

At Northern Tool. I found a “tool”.

 

That’s a little nitpicky for me. I think the assholes that belong here are the ones that can use one space like everyone else but instead choose to park all shitty and take up two or three.

 

Nitpicky? To expect vehicles with trailers to park in the designated "vehicles with trailers" spots? Which were completely open. Okay.

 

There was plenty of room for you. I stand by my statement. Nitpicky.

 

Entitled F150 I’ll be sure to ask why if the owner comes out before the girlfriend finishes up the shop. I have to stay in the car because apparently I slow her down or some BS.

 

I'm torn on this one. On the one hand there's no space on the opposite side of the aisle, but it still impedes the path.

 

To be fair, they stayed in the lines, but still...

 

well they are in the space and no further back than a full sized truck would be and not in the pathway
odd yes, asshole no

 

Agreed

 

This guy wins the "justifiably parked like an asshole" award. Fyi in dealerships, shipping yards and transport ships they are parked hilariously close to each other without dings.

Sales dudes fault for pic in avatar too I bet

 

I park away from assholes like yourself every chance I get. Total idiot that obviously has never tried to keep his vehicle out of harms way. I like it like that - you wouldn’t understand.

 

I also don’t understand. Does this mean you like being an asshole?
