I'm real upset about how people park and about how people talk about how people park! Also, why do you drive on the parkway and park in the driveway its super hosed up!

You seem to have a strange definition of "pearl clutching."

And mildly hyperbolic complaining about people backing into parking spaces would seem perfectly suited to a thread titled "The dude that backs into a parking space."

At this point I'm not sure if you are weirdly dedicated to white knighting for backing into parking spaces or just have an axe to grind with me personally.

In conclusion, backing into parking spaces with no situational or contextual awareness is antisocial and bad and dumb.

lmao chill down and calm out there dorkenheimer you're the one who quoted me to pick some ridiculous nit like it was important

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

People who back in like this need to be punished and shamed.

At my local CostCo today. Trying to get a cart past these idiot fuckers was a challenge. God help someone in a wheelchair or something.




They need to put in some bollards or something to prevent miserable pissants from blocking the protected walkway because they can't loving park properly.

it's 100% acceptable by all standards of manner and good taste to take that hitch off and set it in the truck bed

I haven't read any post itt but let me conclude that ultimately , backing into spaces isn't the problem, it's that some people are bad drivers and for some reason can't back into a spot fluidly.

Conversely corduroy pants wearing whinebags driving their inherited grandmother's 01 Corolla (silver) (this is you, OP) - your time really isn't all that valuable to begin with (peep your whip) and that you've conflated the direction somebody would park in with some attempt at masculine posturing

Well, yeah I guess just about most poo poo seems like a flex from a 2 decade old corolla

On a related note, can someone from not-north America confirm what I once heard? Specifically, people hanging the front or rear of their car OVER the curb when parking perpendicular to a sidewalk is a North America only behavior by and large?

Like when I park in the front of a parking lot, up against the strip mall's sidewalk for example, it's normal in the usa to just hang the nose or tail of your car over the actual curb or sidewalk a bit. Apparently (and I think I read this on sa ages ago) people in the rest of the world don't do that? Confirm or deny my aging memory for random trivia please.

So this dude today was backin' it in but it was in an angled spot and he was in a normal (read: huge) f-150. Cars are coming down the lane and he's like waving people past because he needs to correct his angle into the angled spot.

I'm saying this dude is garbage we can agree on that.

it doesn't really matter what you drive, if you're bad at it you should be ridiculed or have your license revoked

Cars can be neat but they're also largely tools to me, and as a masshole, that's largely what's driving them as well

What I'm saying is I traded my f150 for a hybrid and miss noise and also seeing over things

Otoh, I don't have to spend time sealing leaks or painting over rust and the only tape I have in my vehicle is Band-Aids so

Happens in Norway at least. But we are essentially the closest you get to America on a cultural level in Europe anyway.

I have lived in places where you get ticketed for backing in.

I back my full size sedan in as a way of asserting my dominance and my sovereignty; it smells better than pissing on everything and has less chance of getting me arrested
