One car, one spot, one car, one spot, repeat with me, one car…
Every single day I arrive at the gym´s parking lot I find the same picture, so today I´ll share it with you. The situation is as follows: several parking spots available but no one of them usable.
At some peak hours (5-7pm) the gym is overcrowded so finding a parking spot is a nightmare. For that, pictures like this one shown above are usual. I found the two cars parked on both sides that were also over the closest available spot. I guess it was easier to them to park, easily open the door and enjoy the work out. However if you don´t find any spot and you see the “two available spots”, what would you do? There is enough room for one huge car but… what if you park and the others leave? Are you trying to fill four spots for yourself?
At 7pm arriving late, so guess whose car is in between
Bellevue, WA at 7pm @ Bellevue Galleria

Ha, ha! You’re sure you didn’t fly to Miami to take this picture?
Yup, this is so typical around most of the US, although in reverse manner to your situation: the car in the middle is usually the one parked as-is, and everyone else has to park around that guy (which I guess in this case it’s you!)
Well, until parking spaces are separated by laser beams instead of paint, people will still park in such haphazard manner. So enjoy the ‘King-Size’ parking, my friend- like the old ‘King-Dome’, You’ve earned it!
PS- Next time parallel-park into the space and against the back wall- it will sure make a cool pic! : )

The diagrams that depict the a-hole cars in parking situations are superb! They should include this on every state’s DMV manual so that people have to read and view this whenever they take their test!!!

Yes, I love them too. I´ve already printed those “assholes” notices.
