Default why do people park the way they do?

I've seen worse examples, but why does this Honda have to park on the line right next to my car? There are no cars to its right at all. Just irks me.

Sigh........ I'm thinking more and more all out cars should have cameras in them. The 944 causes more "mass stupidity" than a Honda with a 13 piece wide body kit. That's not exaggerated.
Didn't matter if it's the 83 or one of the turbos same dumb stuff. For the love of God why doesn't my horn work in any of them.

Been happening to me for years, I always park in the far corner of the parking lot, yet it never fails that someone has to park right next to you.

Only time I don't mind it is when it's another gear head, I actually prefer when another nice, well taken care of car parks next to me.

I can think of younger days when living for my life was everything a man could want to do...
...how can you stop
the rain from falling down,
howww do you stop
the sun from shining?
What makes the world go 'round?

The world is full of defective carbon based units.
Still trying to figure out why the Fast and the Furious franchise is so popular?

Those were part of my childhood The first one came out when I was in elementary school. I REALLY wanted an import with underglow and side decals, almost as bad as I wanted a 911 turbo (still want that one). Still have all the F&F hot wheels cars and remote control cars somewhere in storage to prove it.

I'm sure one day you'll have a 911turbo. Just be careful that the hundreds shot of nitrous don't blow the intake bolts off the manifold.

So they can bang your doors. When I used to have an XKE coupe in a different life, I would park next to a light standard post way, way out in the parking lot by myself. You guessed it..About 15 minutes after I pulled in, a guy in a pickup with a trailer hitch, pulled up in front of my car, and backed right into the nose of it, giving me a giant hairlip. I had never seen the guy, or his pickup before..Some guys are Really, really nice like that. If I had had a firearm, at the time, I would have ventillated him and his pickup...and I would be writing this from a Texas jail..

That person was trolling you for parking away from everyone.

Not to this level though...

Been there , done that , well sorta . I had a nice little toyota 2wd pickup for a daily . I had bought it wrecked in the front and replaced everything on it and had it painted . 1st day out with it , I parked out at the far end of the parking lot at bestbuy . You guessed it , guy in a big *** 70`s LTD hooptie parked beside me and slammed his door into mine . When I cam out , you can imagine how mad I was . So instead of being a little girl about it I bust his windshield and mule kicked the door in til the glass popped . I might have been out of line , but damn , he should have known better . It seems peoples parking has not gotten better in the last 20 years .
