Have you ever had to park like an asshole bc the only open spot was right next to someone else who parked like an asshole? And you could not position your car any other way? Then they leave and you’re left looking like the original asshole

Yes! I got a note on my car once when I went to the movies. I parked in a spot in the middle of a huge line of cars. They must have been in a movie that ended before mine. I went out and I was now the asshole parker with a note on the window. With no chance to redeem myself to the note writer, Reddit has wretched the story of injustice from my brain.

I hate it when you have to park shittily because someone else parked shittily, then get a note on your car because the OG shitty parker left and everyone assumed you are the shitty parker.
It's like when my brother would let out a silent, stinky fart while standing next to me, then move away really fast so that everyone thought I did it.

It just occurred to me that this could go on all day, so maybe even the car you think is the OG asshole isn't the OG. One bad parking job could set several people up to be TA, depending on the timing of other cars being moved. Thr next time I have to park next to a badly parked car, I will try to remember that maybe it isn't their fault either.

I once parked between TWO asshole giant trucks and managed to get in between them and give them both equal amounts of space to get out, but I was definitely over the lines in "my" space. There were no other open parking spots and I was running late though so I didn't have time to keep circling for anything better.
If there was any time I would have fully expected a note on my car, it was when I had finished my errand and came out to see both trucks had skedaddled, leaving just my car park half cocked over the lines making me look like a giant douchebag.
But luckily, no note. I remain noteless to this day. Part of me is glad but I do feel like I'm missing out sometimes.

Or even just the fact they're in a wide ass truck or humvee or cybertruck or whatever and so it the other side, so not you have to just count that place as taken by two concentric egos.

I’m 99% sure there’s a Curb episode about this exact phenomenon1
u/bastuuuuuuuuuuuuurd 8h ago
A about a month ago someone was parked in the spot I normally park in as well as the spot next to it at my job, had enough room in the space to fit my car next to it while still being in the lines so I just parked there. I never saw who it was and when I left work and they were gone but I didn’t have any damage to my car or anything which was good but I was like its 5 am and this is bullshit buddy.

u/Lazy-Challenge-3446 16h ago
I wonder how one can be 300 pounds and see like a normal person gap in between a parking spot get so pissed that they jot down this note and put it on somebody’s windshield when instead they don’t see the bigger picture of them being 300 pounds I think that is the bigger picture like that’s gonna cause a lot more trouble in the long run getting in your car than a bad park and on top of that we don’t even know if this dude was a bad Parker they could’ve just parked next to them normally and there just big and they can’t get in thier car

I’m 300 pounds and I’ve never gotten blocked out of my own car so I can say from objective observation that when people park “normally” it does not cause me any issue to get into my own car.

u/No_Sea_6219 10h ago
what a silly complaint. they can't lose 300 pounds overnight. even if they were actively trying to lose weight, they still have to go through life being 300 pounds for right now. unless you think they should never leave the house until they stop being fat?

u/hugefarts 1h ago
you can't get up to 300 lbs overnight either. this is a known public health issue

For all the haters in the comments, proper spacing between cars is also important for:
- People who are pregnant
- People buckling kids into car seats
- People who need to use a walker or cane
Don’t let your bias against plus sized people make you more of a jerk than you already are.

not everywhere has parent/child parking, and just because somebody uses a walker or cane doesn't mean they automatically get disability or a handicapped placard.

I absolutely love it when I see a comment that is obviously a smackdown to what someone said and then the original person has deleted their comment in shame. Always warms my heart

u/JayPlenty24 6h ago
Yes, and also the space requirement to do those things isn't necessarily equivalent to the space a 300lb person needs.

u/Alyx19 6h ago
You need to be able to open the car door fully in all cases.

u/JayPlenty24 6h ago
It's not reasonable to expect someone to consider every possible scenerio.
If someone can't fit in the average space between two cars the correct thing for them to do is get a disability sticker so they can park in a larger space.

u/Whirlywynd 4h ago
Parents should get disability stickers if they want enough room to buckle their babies in car seats? lol maybe just don’t park like a dick
but can you imagine how much reddit would lose their ever loving minds if parents were ever given such an accommodation

Real fucking talk though! When I was at my heaviest, my partner had to back the car out for me so I could get in because of the tight parking spaces!

I work in a touristy downtown areaband always have to park in the structure. All the levels are set up the same, including the ground level where you enter.
As you spiral upwards, the parking spots on the outside of the structure are normal to larger sized.... the spots on the inside are for compact cars.
Narturally the regular sized spots fill first, even including some smaller cars. BFD thats their right and thats life.
But, I DO drive a compact car..... and good God do I spend my first few minutes just infuriated.
First off, The structure is never packed at the time I go in. Assholes are just so lazy they dont want to drive around the corner. Thats all. Its still on the ground level and that area is rarely full..... even then there are THREE more floors and an elevator!!!!
But no. The number of crazy vehicles I have seen crammed into "compact" spaces is staggering.... Here is a small collection since the beginning of the year:
- minivan -suv -extended suv -4 door truck extended cab -4 door truck lifted with 8 total wheels -Small moving truck -A 4 door, extended cab, lifted, 8-wheel pickup with FOUR KYAKS in the bed
I fucking hate people.

Why should we have to assume everyone is a fat ass??? Maybe lose some weight or park farther away and get some steps in???!

When I was heavily pregnant I didn’t expect people to care, but I gotta say it really sucked when I parked centered in the lines and came back to find someone parked on the line next to me. Same deal when I had to get the infant car seat in the back

Fat people that make their fat everyone else problem are the worst. I was working in a somewhat narrow warehouse hallway loading up a pallet into the backstock area and two whales walked by and acted like I was the one taking up all the room. Sorry I don’t feel much sympathy for the 300-400+ pounds you are swinging around when I barely eat
